Allow Loss Prevention/LP when it is 4v5 in ranked games

Only punish the AFK/Leaver with the loss they created. Create a report option that requests a loss prevention for it being a 4v5 game. and only show the level of the champs played. If 1 player is 10 or less and everyone else is 18. The losing team deserves a loss prevention.

If you WIN as 4v5 then you should get bonus LP due to winning and still being handed a sour hand. and the AFK/Leaver should have the win removed from their record since they did not deserve it.

Honestly, I have thought about this idea a lot and through a lot of careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that it would not work. The main issue with this would be found in duo queues. I could very well see one of the duo leaving when their team is losing, to spare one of them the loss of LP. There are just too many ways this could be abused. Also, how long would it have to be a 4v5 for this to work? It could be 5v5 the whole game and then someone disconnects in the last minute before a loss. It obviously was not a huge factor in the outcome of a game, but it would still come up as a 4v5.

I personally would love this idea. Losing LP from a game where we have disconnects isn't at all fair. However, the whole idea could fail, sadly. Most AFK'ers don't want to be pressed by leaverbuster, so they simply stand at spawn and move around every once in a while. The game would still read it as a 5v5.

The issue I see with this is:

Team is losing
Team harasses one player until they afk
Team enjoys no LP loss (or report, because the player was afk)
