AFKs

Every once in a while, you get an AFK, and this is pretty damn annoying, especially when your ahead, or are in lategame. So, my last game, we were winning by quite a bit, not saying they didn't have a chance, but we were definitely ahead. So, our Garen, who at that moment was our 2nd best player, throws out a surrender vote, then AFKs. It was a 4v5, it was only mid-game, and we still had our Uber-Fed Veigar, and maybe Garen just had connection problems. We can pull through, I thought. Well, that is until our Aatrox, our 3rd best player thought it was a smart idea to take a shower in the middle of the game. So now we had 2 AFKs, and we were going into late game. Darn. We were playing pretty defensive, and the opposing team gained a big advantage over us in objectives. Our Aatrox came back, and we did manage to pick it up a bit, taking out one of their inhibitors. After losing a fight at Baron due to a lack of tanks, they aced us (kinda), and destroyed our nexus. I know AFKs are gonna be a permanent part of any team-based game, but I hate seeing losses like this go into the books. When your team has 1 or more AFKs on your team and you lose, why isn't the loss prevented? I mean, it's only fair.
