A Major Ranked Issue that needs to be fixed

I'm Silver Five, I've played a lot of ranked was placed in Bronze Five at the start of the season and climbed up and have gotten to my promos... 11 times... Sometimes the lost games are my fault, sometimes it's a lost teamfight that leads to the enemy team pushing or getting baron/dragon. But, most of the time, I lose because I don't have a full team. Just now I was playing my promos to Silver Four and we had an afk Syndra. Their Diana and Fizz were able to be everywhere and got fed and ended the game easily with how ahead they were. Honestly when someone's afk you can't win. It's happened before winning 4v5 but that usually comes with being way ahead or having a lot of luck. The only way I think that this problem can be fixed is if an ally or enemy is afk it's a loss and win prevented. Nobody Wins, Now if someone just disconnects due to a bugsplat then that would be a problem but we get notified when someone is afk. So would it be that hard to time how long someone is afk and maybe after 10-15 minutes of being afk where the enemy laner/jungler can just free farm and become a monster their should be a chat notification in chat saying "Player X has been afk for X amount of time Loss and Win prevention activated" and the game exits for everyone and nobody wins. It's not fair to lose a ranked game or promos with an afk and it's not a real win when it's 4v5. The afk player would receive a temp ban, lose promos/lp and won't be able to play ranked after playing a certain amount of normal games. If the player continues to afk in ranked they can be banned or just unable to play ranked.

Tl;dr: If someone afks ranked for a long period of time (10-15 min) nobody wins and they get temp ban, lost promos or lp, and have play a certain amount of normal games before being allowed to play ranked again and continued ranked afk is either perma ban or unable to play ranked.

If you guys agree with me that's amazing if not please say why. Thank you all for reading and hopefully, ranked justice will be brought down.

Win prevented.... sounds dumb.. that means sm1 can legit afk if they're losing just to basically tell the winning team to shove it. So no I don't support this at all.

I see your point but riot can pull the chat logs from every game and can see if the person says something like that. Or check if the person stayed on league and didn't fully quit out and left the client open. There's a lots of ways to make this work and honestly whenever I beat a team with an afk I just feel lucky not good I felt like I found a loophole to win and don't felt like it was earned

You don't lose LP from there being AFKs, so loss prevented isnt even necessary. Also, temp bans already exist m8, it's called low priority queue.

Yes I know I'm adding to that saying they shouldn't be allowed to be ranked because no player deserves an afk

Your statement is false. You CAN win 4v5. And once you climb higher, your teammates will be there more often, as the players that are higher tend to not disconnect as frequently.

I know you can win 4v5 I said that in there if you read all of it. What I'm saying is that if you lose solely because you didn't have a full team there needs to be something for that

I dunno dude.... if you haven't won your series after 11 tries, it sounds like you are at the ELO you belong at

I know I feel the same way too. I took a break after the tenth when i got mad and played ranked a bunch trying to get back to promos and dropped to 0lp I realized I messed up and grinded normals practicing fro a long time, finally went back won all but one game on my way to promos and then just had afks. I just feel like there needs to be a back up for when afk happens because it just feels like a middle finger from riot when nothing gets done about it

I've experienced worse.

I was 10/0 as Lux at 20 minutes, the enemy team is tilting since they're flaming Fizz for feeding me. Definitely could win this game. But our Vi just decided to abuse our Gangplank for being "useless" and noob. Even though I could deal massive damage on team fights, sometimes we still lost the fight and they pushed hard, and Vi would just be negative to all of us "wtf adc why the fuck are you pushing botlane when I'm engaging on mid" or "lux you're an idiot why are you at top" while I was preventing enemy Riven destroying our inhibitor turrets. Everytime we saw them coming to dragon Vi wouldn't even try to steal it or prevent it or engage on a good fight. She would just be gone to her blue buff or take some birds and say "are you guys stupid. we lost already. they have 3 stacks of dragon just let them have the rest and end the game". I even stole a dragon for my team and no one appreciated that and stopped trying on the game while continueing to believe that the game has already ended. I tried to motivate my team and make them believe that we could win the game, but Vi stayed negative.

I was really sad. I lost 17 LP just because of my team giving up on a victory. Why should one person lost ~15 LP when he/she is trying while the others are not trying? It is already really hard to win a game with 5 players, how about with only 4?

That sucks I always try to be positive too and the team just gives up and you just sit there like, "wow" no matter the efforts and nothing changes. That's the worst feeling

Unfortunately I'm close to believing that there's no solution for these problems. There's no way Riot would look at each player's games while there's like more than 2000 games going on at the same time. There will always be trolls. summoner 3
