You're team is losing the game One of your team members decides to DC to save other people LP RIp

You're trying to climb with a duo you get a friend to make another account he doesn't care about If you win, ggez, if you lose, your friend DC's to save you LP Rip

Issues like this ^^

ya this is a common defense idiots make for this problem, when the simple solution would be to have anyone in a premade group with the afk/dc ineligible for any form of loss forgiven or LP loss reduction when they try to abuse the system. and if it is some solo queue helping others lose less, then oh well, with this community that will happen maybe once a lifetime, and they will get punished for afk'ing anyway with leaverbuster

Not sure why you needed to get rude out of nowhere, but whatever, you do you. It's not a "once-in-a-life-time" event. Plenty of people ragequit now, even when they have nothing to gain. Basically giving them intensive to leave would help no one. You'd basically set up a situation where someone rage quits, and their team actually benefits from it. It would take from the competitive edge of the game big time. You're not wrong that their are probably logical ways to implement this, but it's not as "simple a solution" as you'd think. Maybe you just don't have the foresight to see that far into issues though, oh well.

nah, the system would work for when people do rage quit and afk.

i was saying solo people doing it to help their team of strangers would be rare, instead of current rage/afk reasons.

it might actually cut down on the trolling a little because people will stay to punish their team with a normal LP loss, instead of quitting and letting them have a smaller loss. if they sit at fountain to avoid the afk or go out and feed, then they can be reported no problem like now
