Why can't we get a "Loss Prevented" when a teamamate DC's?

Could anyone please explain the reasoning behind this?

Because if that happened people would scream for someone to DC every time a game goes south...

So true

They'd probably yell at the person who gave first blood to DC...

You know you see it happening..

"It's 6v4, Just leave already"

Then the person can mute and keep playing. I don't know why this is such a hard thing for people.

even if the person mutes them, the other 4 people are now on tilt and any chances of winning are gone because they don't care to try to win, they now only want loss prevented.

Then those 4 can enjoy never climbing. Someone already posted something like this and the main problem people came up with was "Someone would leave so their friends wouldn't lose LP" but I doubt anyone would do that to a friend, and if they did then that person needs new friends.

but now the player who mutes the other 4 is now at a bigger disadvantage than normal. I agree those 4 won't climb, but the other 1 will climb slower because 1 mess up and people want him to dc

By climbing slow I mean they're probably doing that in every game. If the 1 guy who mutes them is a calm guy he'll climb to the right rank. While the other 4 keep blaming and being toxic.

Abuse. That's pretty much it.

Loss prevention seems a bit much. Maybe make the team that lost suffer less LP cost while giving the troll/dc/afk player twice or triple as much LP loss. Nobody would be able to abuse that

But what about the poor souls who's internet gets fucked by a storm or something?

Don't play ranked during those times?

WimbledofyMar 25, 20164 votes

so basically don't play ranked unless you know the future. Because it's not like you are gonna know something's going to happen that will cause internet to dc.

Abuse isnt the main reason. It's because the math simply wouldnt add up. If you would start handing out loss preventions to only one team while the other one gains lp, the lp would essentially inflate. So in the end you would gain less lp overall meaning you have to win more games in order to climb so you really havent changed anythig. You simply cant solve this problem efficient or riot would have done so long ago. Just deal with the dc / afk and move onto the next game
