Unfair losses

Short and simple. Why can't you implement a loss prevented system for if one of the players is level 1 by the end of the game. It was a 4v5 since the very beginning. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, you just think.. Do I really deserve to lose LP because one of my teammates never connected? Is that fair? Is it that hard to implement a system like that? We don't actively choose to play in 4v5 games. We come into a game expecting a 5v5 and if we lose or win, it doesn't matter. But when I lose LP because of this unfair reason, it disappoints me. What drawbacks is there for implementing a system like this? Giving a loss prevented to a team who's player never connected at the beginning is completely fair. I'm open to listening to other people's opinions even if goes against my own. If there are drawbacks, I would like to know what they are.

Edit: The one who never connected, whatever reason it may be, should still lose LP, but the rest of the team that was forced to play and most likely ff at 20 should get the loss prevented.

I would be a great idea, but every one will say the same stupid thing. It would be abused, or players would cheat. Some thing like that. Its sad i know. How ever one day I am sure they will do some thing for it.

I agree with this. I would like at least half the LP loss for the team that has less players. And the one that never connects or leave/afk to the end at more than like 20 min would get LP lost twice as bad and demoted if it gets less than zero at an instant or something.

I agree they need to do something.I was 6-2 in my provies and the last 2 games had someone dc in both making me end up at 6-4.Maybe they could institute a daily mulligan that is only available when the game is 4v5.Also i wish they would put in a ping limiter.The only thing that pisses me off as much as a dc or afker is someone who says "My ping is at 700,I can't play like this." If their ping is 700 at beginning of the game it was 700 in champ select and was 700 when they clicked the play button.IMO anyone with a ping over 300 shouldn't be allowed to play in a ranked game.I know there are ways to do this,hell when I play BF4 if i join a server and my ping is over 180 i am instantly kicked for it.

why not just if someone d/c from the start? how about if people are afk for half the game or more it should be forgiven. with a warning issued to player who afkd even if they came back. pretty much saying what u did is not ok and wont be tolerated.
