Why don't we have an in-game pause?

My internet decided to fail during my last game and we were winning. It took me 3 minutes to come back, but when I did the game was already over and we had lost. Why isn't something as simple as a pause implented in this game yet? This is incredibly infuriating.

it is implemented its implemented in the tournament draft mode as in the mode you can play in custom games and the mode they use in the lcs

Which makes it even worse, they could put it in ranked very easily but they don't for some stupid reason.

no one wants to wait an hour for you to return, and no one wants to sit on pause just for one person to may or may not return. and since so many people AFK if they lose what would be the point?

I could see this work for ranked 3v3 and ranked 5v5 but not Solo Q, too much potential for abuse, annoyance and general toxicity. (plus how would you agree to it? 5 of your team members have to vote yes? maybe 6 people total?

its funny, because this exact thing is in dota 2 and it works perfectly fine. Granted i have little faith the league community could handle it as easily but then again thats why we all hate each other.
