New LP Mechanics for Bronze, Please.

So, 2 games so far today in ranked. First game, I won with a good team on my side. 2nd game, Orianna afks at level 3, Warwick goes completely negative and gives up on all hopes of winning the game. We lose. I'm pretty sure I now have LESS LP than when I started playing today. Anyone else getting tired of being stuck in Bronze because half of your games have an afk or someone on your team feeds? Well, here's a couple of suggestions I thought of:

  1. I know this one has been brought up on many posts, but I'd like to put a few words in as well. No LP loss if one of your teammates AFKs. Furthermore, BONUS LP if you win a game with an AFK teammate. I don't think it's fair that I should be brought down because someone else rage-quit, has crappy internet, etc. It's stressful and it makes ranked almost completely unplayable until next year. At the very least, in games where AFKs are reported, please issue an LP refund to the losing team. It just isn't fair that I lost not because of my own skill level, but because we were down a player. Now, as for the LP Bonus thing, I know that SOMEONE out there might for some reason or another want to manipulate that and give his team bonus LP. As unlikely as that is, not only would that person be banned (or at least should be), I suggest placing a time restraint on the afk. If the player was AFK for longer than 10 minutes before the game ended, then the bonus lp/no lp loss should take effect. This also prevents manipulation of not losing LP. However, no LP loss might also encourage AFK'ers who think they're going to lose anyways. So, the solution is simple...
  2. Double the LP loss for AFK'ers. That's right. If players don't like that, then maybe they shouldn't be playing ranked when your internet is so bad/you rage quit often. Other people play, too, and you should respect that they want to win, and hate it just as much as you would if you had an AFK on your team.
  3. Losses with AFK'ers in series games do not count towards the 3. It isn't fair that someone doesn't get to advance because of an AFK. Again, the 10 minute timer should be in place, to prevent system manipulation. As for "noob" players. There's nothing that should/could be done about them. Everyone's learning at some point. I suggest speaking to them calmly. Kindness and compassion works a lot better than yelling at your teammates. If someone's doing bad, maybe give them some advice. If they don't take it, that's their choice. Don't let it affect your own performance. Stay calm and carry them if they're doing poorly. Maybe even stay on their back and help them get a few kills so they can get some decent items built. Remember, this is a team game and it takes a team effort. Thank you for reading my post. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment. Help this post get noticed by RIOT!

P.S. Just wondering if people are even able to see my posts? I tried to find my own post on the board, but it doesn't even make the first page. It gets drowned by other posts. I'm not sure how boards work, but how am I supposed to discuss my opinions with other people when no one can even see them?
