Ranked LP system broken

Everyone has used the excuse in ranked that their team is the only reason they are in a low rank, but maybe that is true. There are so many times where someone trolls or AFK's in ranked and players should not be punished because of that. They should give you LP on the grades you get at the end of a game, because I dont want to be in a low rank because of an AFK or a troll. Give feedback on your thoughts and Upvote if you agree

That's a great idea.

In my honest opinion I think riot should change their AFK policy to this: This takes into consideration an lp pool

  1. Remove the old afk/leaver system ( people are less inclined to leave when there lp or ip is on the line)
  2. Have the losing team place lp into the pool and the winning team takes from it
  3. Modify the lp loss distribution on the losing team so that its based on time spent connected (longer you dc the more points loss they lose, less points you lose)
  4. What the above means is that if you have a dc teammate you lose less points and him more
  5. Do the same for the winning team, that is modify the lp gain distribution so that less points awarded to a dc member the longer he dc's and more to who remains in the game

Theres a problem with that, which is also seen in the Mastery system - they didnt want people to gain points based on score alone (instead of having most of the points determined by win/loss) since that would incentive people to stop focusing on winning the game, just farm a ton and play safe. You would have people who would never teamfight to preserve their precious KDA, even if it costs them the game.

Solution:

Afkers in ranked get immediately banned from ranked for 3 days and lose double LP for that game. I have had to leave ranked games before (due to real life situations) and it would had been totally fair for me to get a suspension.
