Ranked Needs A New System

There needs to be a system where afk's, and trolls in your ranked games should not count as a game.

Countless number of times especially in my PROMOS has this occurred. Recently I am in my promos to get out of Bronze, and into Silver. First game our support just quit the game. 2nd game of my promos I was first pick. The 4th picks told me mid or troll. I told him I am going mid, because that's what I always play mid/top. He picked Leblanc I ended up with Ahri top lane. I owned my lane, and he didn't. Our support Tahm Kench just left the game.

Now I have a problem with this especially when your in your promos, and every game counts. Why should those 2 losses count as one of my promo losses? AFK's, and Trolls abolish your chance of winning.

Why can't riot adopt a pause system? Dota 2 has it. Make it so we can pause in our soloq games to wait for someone who afk's due to connection issues. If someone outright leaves the game, then make the game not count. Again in Dota 2 if someone just quits the game, a message comes up in the chat box stating "this game is safe to leave it will not be scored, it will not count as a loss"

I understand that trolls are apart of the game so they can be ignored. I am talking about AFKS. Where nobody has control over the AFK. When its 4 v 5 why should the other team gain lp, and why should our team lose lp? it was not an "even" game. Just make the game not count, and make it so it has no effect on wins or losses.

Why cant' riot implement a pause/AFK system to make it more fair? They are arguably a bigger company than Valve they could make it work easy.

So now I have to lose my promos into Silver for something that I have absolutely no control over. I climbed from B2 into my promos to silver in 1 day. Its obvious that I will climb no matter what happens. It is absolutely just straight up frustrating when you lose out of your control. There needs to be a system put in place.

Simple answer OP, riot could careless. They only care about good players getting reported verbal anything else they let slide. Wish they would follow Dota2's system. It is so much better, I actually wish I liked dota champs and gameplay better just because of this. Maybe if enough players leave they will finally do something but as it is.......ranked has been like this for years, we know it, they know it, the trolls know it, and Riot could give 2fks about it.
