Worse punishment for dodging a game then going afk in a game

So I just thought, hmmmm.... I get a 5 min ban if I dodge a game with a guy who starts typing and clearly is not mentally stable.

Yet, I have reported at least 50 afks in the past week, and does anything happen to them?

Especially an afk in a ranked game... totally affects the outcome of the game, loss of LP, etc.

Yet nothing is done to the afk person, but a 5 min queue ban on a dodge.

Makes perfect sense.

Now I can understand somebody legit DC'ing because of environmental issues. You dont DC for environmental issues after starting 2 surrenders. And you dont DC after typing "this one is lost. ff at 15"

Report that afk... nothing happens. What should happen is a 6h ban after the second time in less than a week. Sorry if you have bad wifi... get a better access point or go hardwired. You are screwing your teammates with all your DC'ing.

Could even have a vote, when reporting an afk, by the teammates to ban or not ban afterwards. Seems fair?

When you afk, you lose the LP. You get an extra trigger in the Leave Buster system. It will take a handful of games to get a harsher penalty, but that is because some people have IRL issues to have take care of, and the system doesn't really want punish those who fall in such a category.

Do it enough times and you will face harsh consequences.
