Then why are you complaining about losing LP due to them?

Statistically speaking, if you personally are not a troll/afk/feeder, then your team has a 4/9 chance of getting one while the other team has a 5/9 chance of getting one.

I have to agree that Trolls/AFKers are issues riot needs to take care of, but If you are ok with gaining LP while the enemy team has a troll/afk/feeder, then be content when it's your turn.

I agree. I think the negative emotions from losing due to one are a lot stronger than the positive emotions you get from winning one due to them - which is why people tend to remember the losses and want to complain about them more. Even if it ultimately ends up as a wash.

Last 2 seasons I have only gained 1 win off a 4v5, which was an ori rage quitting over not getting blue. Where as this season 3 of my 8 losses were 4v5s with none of my wins being 4v5, last season I had to 3v5 twice, and 4v5 7 times, and once I could not even connect to a game forcing my allies to 4v5 while only 1 of my wins being due to 4v5. Just because you are less likely to get an afk doesn't mean it ends up happening.

Statistically speaking if you flip a coin a number of times it will be 50% chance of heads and 50% tails but that doesen't mean that on the first ten flips you can't have 2 heads and 8 tails. Same concept.
