There needs to be an actual solution to AFK's

If your team surrenders WHILE someone is dc'd, there should be no LP gained or lost. Simple, its not fair that I get a Naut AND viktor who both DC 10min while the team is doing really well.

1 player can easily go afk, and make the rest not lose LP in a losing game,

seriously, think about the negatives before you post this

but then the one player should lose ALL the LP the other ones lose, making him lose almost an entire division! also, leaverbuster ;)

Exactly, no one would voluntarily afk in these regards.

But if they AFKed by accident and are trying to reconnect. This brings up the question of how long does the person have to be AFK before you can surrender. 5 minutes? 10 minutes?

If I DC it takes around 3 minutes to return. My computer isn't even that fast.

But, maybe other have very big issues. 7? However, RIOT's system can already tell when someone left.

Takes me about 2-3min to reconnect. Id say after 5 min. the game should PROMPT a surrender that would lose the team no elo if they all AGREED to stop fighting. It should also do this every 5 min until the player reconects. it will make these DCing games more like Firefight game modes. If the team was to keep going for antoher 5 min they can, but if they dont accept, they HAVE to wait another 5 min till another non-penalty surrender comes again. While this 5min is going on after the prievious surrender prompt, any attempt to surrender will actually LOSE the game unless you wait another 5min. for the non-penalized surrender. If the team wants to proceed and wait for the DC'd player, they can still take a REAL loss if the enemy destroys the nexus before the next 5min. Non-penalized surrender comes in. AND if the team decides to the non-penalized surrender, the DC'd teammate gets a large penalty for not returning. That fixes the issue that anyone would voluntarily afk to do the non-penalized surrender.

God damn.... I wish i worked for Riot.
