Enough with the AFK-s!

You know I put alot of time into this game. And nothing is more frustrating than losing LP in ranked because of an afk. And the worst part is, I get them in an HONEST approximation, 80 percent of the time if there is an AFK to be had in a game. I mean this in the sense that the guy doesn't show up(most of the time this is how it goes), I mean it in the sense at 2 minutes in the player claims to have 800 ping and that he's gona restart, he logs out and never comes back, and obviously the case he laid out in front of us is that he went to fix his internet which didn't happen or he used that as an excuse to just leave, and I get to lose MY hard earned LP once again because of it. And last, the afk's from the people that got so badly beat in lane, BUT the game is winnable BECAUSE everyone else is wining the lane/handling the enemy jungler just fine, but lose later on after a hard struggle. Because he couldnt handle playing the game. This needs to stop. Make a system where we can mAKE our case and YOU can see it for what it is. It shouldnt be that hard. Seriously!

I do believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that if you afk frequently, you will be placed in games with other players who afk frequently.

Basically, you've dug your own grave here. Stop afking.

This happens a lot more in low elo games, to be fair. The reason should be obvious: frequent AFKers tend to have a lower mmr, and so, lower ranked games tend to have more AFKers.

I made a smurf account a few months back, which made this fact painfully obvious. I went from having the occasional AFKer in my matches to having one Every. Single. Game. Crawling out of that hell was a bloody nightmare.

ETA: Looking at Math Wiz's account, he's definitely beyond the bronze-silver range, so that's likely not the issue here. Unless he's smurfing?
