can we get an ip loss reduction for afks?

I understand that internet and electricity are somewhat fickle and people ragequit and so on, it's gonna happen, but can the team with an afk get a reduced amount of lp loss when someone is afk for 7-10 min? the system tracks d/c and whatnot, why not use the data for something like this? Just a thought really, something to soften the blow of tilt-nation.

The problem is people will abuse it. The solution needs to be abuse proof.

My suggestion continues to be to permaban anyone who even thinks of autotilting.

Been around this block before too. Just impose a massive penalty for the AFKer, like eating the burden of the loss for the entire team so the team wont lose any or significantly less. You want to AFK for you buddy to not lose LP or promos for that game? Well be ready to eat -75 to -100 LP for basically an instant division demotion for trying to abuse it

I get that, but then you have to ask why aren't afk/leavers being punished accordingly? I'm not saying make the loss 2lp or some silly low number. 10lp instead of 20, nothing crazy

That's a great idea! If leaver buster gets triggered, then that team should get a reduced LP loss (if they lose the game, ofc).

i think it would only be acceptable with junglers. As nobody can fill the role of jungle without smite. unless your nunu support
