Teammate AFKs in fountain at start of game, but isn't disconnected. Very frustrating..

Can we please have a system in place that identifies when a player connects to the game, AFKs immediately afterward but doesn't disconnect. They are effectively still in the game according to the current system, therefore the game registers them as active and makes their team ineligible for a remake.

This is a ridiculous situation to encounter, and is simply remedied by having the remake time (3 minutes) identify if items were not purchased and/or a champion hasn't left the fountain within that time span. Before people come in and say, "well what if I'm late to a game but intend to be present" argument. Well, you have more than enough indication that the game is going to start, (i.e, "Thirty Seconds until minions spawn") and a whopping 1.5 minutes after minions have actually spawned to get your ass in game. No excuses.

The other 4 willing participants on a team shouldn't be wrongfully punished for the tardiness or lack of attendance of ONE person who didn't have the gumption to either 'Decline' joining a game, dodge before the game initiates or accept a leaver by properly disconnecting when they KNOW they won't be playing.

The one caveat here is when someone LEGITIMATELY AFKs due to no fault of their own (i.e, computer crashes/Bug Splat/frozen screen). It's unfortunate collateral damage that we all have to bear occasionally to ensure that when a situation occurs such as this that you aren't held hostage in a 4v5 game with very little chance of success.
