I have a suggestion for afkers

So today I lost a game and of course I was upset about it just like everyone else would be (don't lie) I went 11/5/7 as top wu. First off we had an afk for 20+ mins and we almost had them but sure enough being a 4v5 we didnt have what it took and our nexus was destroyed.

(jinx was not upset the team was very encouraging and everyone was happy no toxic players im sure it was a connection issue)

I went to my screen and it said -24 lp

I cant believe that this isnt implemented in the game already but to balance out player that get an afk on their team why not make something that allows less lp loss if your team or opposing has an afk because this game is about TEAMWORK and how is it a team loss if its a 4v5 unfair advantage seriously riot it is unfair to be doing a great job get an afk and lose -24 lp I thought we wanted people to start playing this game..

Anyhow what is everyones thoughts on implementing a system that allows people with a 4v5 to not lose as much lp (if the user is afk for atleast 15 mins that player will also receive a 3 day ban)? I mean having that afk banned is not gonna make me happy because eventually they are gonna play again and I dont want their afk to impact the rest of the game (lp loss)

Anything like this is too abusable. These suggestions are on these boards at least once a week. It's too complicated, which is why nothing has been done about it yet.

All in all, AFKs happen so infrequently that if you win, you'll climb.

Don't hear you complaining about all the times the enemy team had an afk and you won because of it. It all evens out in the end.

Dude, if it isn't "omg rito he called me bad word", they don't care. Nothing will get done about this issue because, according to rito, it isn't even an issue.

This just literally happened to me but twice in a role.

Why did Jinx leave? This wasn't an afk from the start, she afk'd in the game - why?

Despite the satisfaction it would bring to players, the problem with this is that every game your losing someone will afk to prevent a large LP loss, so something like this is exploited. I think what really needs to happen is that Riot should become a lot stricter on players that afk during games an go as far as banning them for the entire ranked season because your right it is a team game an it is unfair an effects your chances of ultimately winning a game an climbing. However the problem with such a harsh punishment is that if its due to a connection issues which at some point we have all experienced would suck for that person that normally never afk during a game. So you got to understand that Riot is stuck between a rock on this matter. I understand how you feel about it but logically whats the solution to the problem to where it can't be exploited or harmful to players.
