Riot, give loss forgiveness when 2 or more players on your team quit in ranked

Long story short, i was in a ranked game with maokai, seems normal enough right? It was, until hecarim never got into the game due to internet problems, i can understand this and tried to hold his lane for him. He eventually came back, but not after my bot lane decided to quit, leaving us in a 2v5. At this point, all hopes of winning is gone, and there is no reason to play anymore. Why should i have to suffer a loss when my teammates quit? I had no control over what they do, so why do i have to suffer? It takes all the fun out of the game and eliminates the competitiveness of ranked entirely. Riot, please grant loss prevention when 2 or more of your teammates quit.

Try having two trolls on your team. Fid that wanted to go tanky and did zero damage and TF that fed the hell out of Kat. T^T And thats how i lost my promos.

Regrettably, ragers are the reason why riot won't do anything. The Behavioral team will block anything that remotely sounds like it would insentient people to rage at people on tilt. (until they leave the game to escape the rager)

The only way that could work is if the Leaver was pardoned from leaving from a toxic environment. And that would just complicate the problem further.

We all have these games. However, implementing such a mechanic would make this an even juicier surrender mechanic, where 2 people take the leave in order to save the other 3 from a loss. I could see a lot of honor being thrown around for that, too, maybe juicing the already questionable Honor System.

This is a team game. Live with the team. Die with the team. juicing up everyone's records just because a few flakes are sprinkled in there is hardly the way to go about it. 55% Winrate would be the new norm, and I don't want to see that.

I can understand that, but still, i want to have fun when playing in ranked, and losses like that take all the fun away. If the loss prevention idea was possible, a way to balance around it could be to give the other team a chance to vote on whether or not to allow the loss prevention. This way it cant be abused by the losing team, but you are also somewhat at the mercy of the other team. The other team can still vote for the loss, but you have a chance for he loss prevention if the other team isnt a group of giant black d****
