Serious change in the LP loss for a team with someone who is afk or is not connected

I just finished a ranked solo game where 3 minutes into the game our pantheon, our jungle, disconnected. He then connected for 30 seconds a few minutes later and said that he couldn't see anything and would have to restart league. What followed was a very unfair game with a 4v5 and a top lane that refused to group and would feed. We lost and I lost half of my LP due to a connection issue. My problem is not with the feeding or with the connection issues, I know they can happen. What I would like to see happen in a future patch, and I know many people out there would love it too, is for Riot to make it so that if someone afks or disconnects for longer than 1 to 3 minutes then that team has a reduced LP deduction. I have heard so many people from Riot talk about how they want this game to be fair and balanced. Well start by helping people in ranked games when there are so many ways people can lose connections that are beyond their control. It would be a simple change and it would go a long way in improving the raked ques and making it less stressful for those of us that play it. The truth of the matter is it is not fair to punish people so severely for someone not being able to connect. It can happen to anyone, computers can blue screen, the power could be lost for what ever reason, or any number of other factors can change someones connection.

I am hopeful that the rest of the community feels that I do and can help me spread this idea and hopefully get riots attention. Also if you have any other suggestions for this problem I would be interested to hear your views.

God if i had a quarter for every time i saw this god damn thread. Get over it, its a team game, if someone on your team afk's sorry, it happens to everyone. I bet you wouldn't be posting shit if the afk was on the other team. You would be like "oh yay a free win lolololol" Just stop embarrassing yourself on these threads
