4v5 Losses should not = Loss of LP

Yeah, I just got out of a ranked game where it was a 4v5 for the majority of it. The game was about 25 minutes long and about 14 of it , our adc was afk/dc'd. Now this isnt fair to the rest of the guys on our team. Cause not only are the odds stacked even harder against us, but once the enemy team becomes aware, they will take advantage. I think that If a player lose a 4v5 game, or a player was gone for the majority of the time in that game. The losing team should not lose LP. Or at least a reduced amount taken away. This AFK kept me out of my series...

It'd be cool if you lost a little less LP if someone was AFK for a certain time frame. It should only apply for solo queuing and the person who left should lose double.

It's quite subject to abuse and other side effects. People trying to get people to leave losing games instead of trying to make a comeback, or even people making a good stall comp and having one member intentionally disconnect early with the confidence that they'll be able to make a comeback but also not need to worry about losing LP if they don't.

It's frustrating, but you're on the benefiting side of afks just as often as the losing side (more often in fact if you never afk/dc), so it balances in the long term. With promo help[er being a thing now especially, untimely afks aren't as big a deal.

That's extremely exploitable for duo(or more) queues. Losing a game, have someone take the fall of leaving the game. If team wins 4v5, have idiot quickly return for free win. Lose the 4v5, np.

This "idea" come out like once every week or every other week.
