I'm sick of losing so much LP when losing because of an AFK

I've had two games in the past day and half and lost due to a person going afk in the beginning of the game. They disconnect then reconnect which makes it so we can't remake the game. I'm sick of losing 21 LP because of it. It's not fair to me, it's not fair to my teammates and I'm done with it. Riot needs to fix this as soon as possible. A solution:

Lower LP lose based on how long the person was afk for, maybe 5 or 6 LP loss if the person is afk the whole game. Then if they are AFK for some of the match maybe 8 or 10 LP loss. I hate gaining 14 LP a game then losing 21 due to afk people. It drives me crazy that Riot hasn't done anything about it yet.

You still lose LP if you go AFK. And like I said depending on the length of the game and the length that a person goes AFK then the LP will be lost accordingly.

Are you also sick when you win so much LP when winning because of an AFK?

Your LP gain/loss is not based on AFKs - it’s based on your skill. Your LP gain being that low means that your current rank is above where you should be based on your skill/MMR. If you do not start playing at higher skill level, you’ll continue to lose more LP than you win until your rank more closely aligns with your current skill level.

For your first point yes. Winning because of an AFK person isn't fair. I wouldn't consider it to be an actual win. Depending on the situation it might be good lower the LP gain. Again that is just my opinion. You are right in the LP loss because of skill, but lowering it when an AFK no matter what rank you are should be put in place.

Your team decided not to remake the game, thats on you.

Edit: I do think they should ban the guy who AFKd the game as his past 16 games are either remakes or losses depending on whether his team remade or not...

It was impossible for us to. He reconnected at 1 min then left at 1:30 min. So when we tried to remake it didn't allow us to.
