AFK LP Issue reposted (solved?!?!?)
Ok so I made a post earlier asking about losing LP while someone else was afk during a match because it seemed unfair to lose that LP because of one or two people. This is the link to that previous post: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/EdFLfKMN-afk-lp?comment=00020000 . After learning a bit I came up with this solution. (this is about to get hella complicated) Per afk player, a 25% LP loss reduction will be given to the remaining players. (1 afk = 25%, 2 afk = 50%, 3 afk = 75%, 4 afk = 100%) You can only get the reduction if the afk player was afk for more than 5 or 10 minutes. For this example we will assume that each player on the losing side lost 16 LP. In the case of two people being afk then the three who remain will each receive the 50% LP loss reduction making them instead lose 8 LP each. Now LP still has to balance out. The remaining players dodged losing 24 LP total (8 times 3). That remaining LP will be split between the two afk players as additional punishment for going afk so they will each lose 12 more LP (28 total). If four people go afk then the remaining player will not lose any LP each afk player will instead lose 4 more LP (16/4 = 4) making them lose a grand total of 20 LP. It may seem that the LP amount may overwhelm the afk player, but it balances out across the board. If one player went afk in this situation then they would lose 32 LP which is quite a bit, but that is the punishment they get for afk. This will help reduce people going afk for getting flamed since they don’t want to lose even more LP. If an afk player returns at any point during the match then no reduction will be given to anyone. On the flip side, people may find it unfair if they win a match with someone who goes afk. This same rule can be applied in a different way. Each afk player during a winning match will be given a 25% IP reduction and the remaining LP will be split among the rest of the team. However, this is only 25% reduction. No matter how many players go afk during a winning match they will always be given 25% reduction so that remaining player can’t just leap up to the next rank for nothing. I really hope that someone understands this because it may be a little confusing and I may even just make a new discussion based off of this. These amounts and percentages are only examples to get this idea out there. Please someone tell me they understand this!!
