If a loss is caused by a leaver, only the leaver should get a loss

If someone leaves everyone else should get loss prevented. This is so that trolls or acts of god do not have a negative impact on innocent players. This kind of randomness causes frustration and a feeling of helplessness, both of which lead to toxicity.

Some people say that this would cause people to game the system by leaving to help their friend. However, first of all people already game the system. Second of all, anyone repeatedly doing this should be banned and that solves that problem. Finally, this feature already exists in dota and while they may have this problem I don't think it's as big a deal as it is made out to be, and I think the good caused by this system outweighs the bad.

In ranked you mean sure, in fact if you lose because a player leaves he should get a loss for every player in his team who has a higher kda then him that game, make sure to include every 100 cs every tower kill/assaist and every monster takedown as a kills worth.

Ye but alot of people have more than 1 account. So example : Friend(gold in promo for plat) is in promo series, asks me (silver or gold) to queue with him with my 2nd acc. If game is going well, i would stay and we would win. If game is not going well, i would go afk/leave so he wouldnt lose LP. If i do it once i prolly wont get immediate ban. If i repeatedly do it, ban wouldnt be permanent. Also people in promos for diamond or higher, can easily offer someone to buy him skin or something, just so he wouldnt lose LP. Also how many times it happened, u flame someone and he goes afk. People would just bully others, making them leave.
