Suggestion for those Disconnecting: Experience per time.
when someone dc it's big handicap and it's even worst when you have to start from the start (level 1) how about adding some experience per level let's say you dc and everyone is level 11 give him XP per second so that when he comeback he's lvl 8-9 instead of 1 (like how nidalee hidden passive work giving experience lower level, put it on the fountain 2nd example: dominion XP per time) and experience boost when he's far behind (a bit like zilean passive)
that would help but you'd still have the gold disadvantage(unless you're playing support and disconnected after you purchased your gold item). at least that be better than the way it works right now.
