I want a new player replacing an afk

In my previous post where I asked for a doom bot http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/nVEEfVEx-i-want-a-bot-replacing-an-afk-to-stand-some-sort-of-chance some said it would become predictable and turn into a gold farming opportunity for the enemy. How about we make an extra option in the queue to be placed in a game where someone went afk? And to make the wait for them 4 players even shorter, give the afk'er the opportunity to tell the game whether they're just restarting the client, or leaving for good, as some would specify in chat 'gtg' etc. And if they don't come back, the leaver buster will pop up anyway and open a slot for a replacement. Other details can be discussed, such as what if the replacement doesn't own the champ or doesn't want that position, but I'm sure there's a solution for everything. Instead of an option in the queue for a Normal, you could have a list of available games that show detailed info like the custom games list, for instance, and the replacement player can choose as they see fit. It would also be awesome for people with not much time on their hands, looking for a short game.

How can this be exploited? Write in the comments.

This is possible in other games, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible here. People might not agree to have this in ranked, but at least in Norms and ARAM, please.

Actually someone said doom bots would be too hard :> and the thread did get upvotes :> What I did was not only learn from it, but actually improved it. Come back with constructive criticism, please. I'm actually trying to improve everyone's experience, if you don't mind.

they cant do that because the player that entered in would be at a big disadvantage in gold/level if they entered in at lets say 30min

They wouldn't start anew though, that's why I mentioned they need to have same champ and WANT that champ and position. They would literally replace that summoner, have control over their champ with their current level, gold and bought items.

and if its a losing lane where that afker is 0-6 is it fair for that new guy to play that?

Like I said, the replacement should have all the info they need to decide whether to join or not. Say you're a Yas main that wrecks their lane every time, going in the shoes of another Yas would not be an issue, would be a welcomed challenge. And from my experience, afk'ing is more likely to happen after the laning phase.

If the player who joins wins/loses LP along with the team that they joined, then it would be really disadvantageous for them. Why would they want to intentionally join a game where they know that they have a greatly reduced chance of winning because their champion has been AFK for some time (and probably went AFK because they were losing anyway?)

If the player who joins doesn't get to win any LP, why would they want to join the game at all? What's in it for them?

In the OP I mentioned it would be for aram and norms at first.

Just a floating thought. If there was an afk ahri on your team for example that INTENTIONALLY went afk because they fed like 0/10 or something. I don't think I'd(or anyone would want to in general) want to deal with a 10/0 Yasuo. And Riot would probably have to add 6 people (or more depending on the number of afks) to the end screen so you can report/honor
