PBE players and possible solutions

So I've been playing on the PBE server a lot. it's got a lot of RP that's credited to me daily, and since every champion is free to play, it allows me to experiment with various champions to see which i can succeed on come season 8. Except almost every game, there is an AFK. I've clocked about 50 normal summoner's rift games on the PBE, and the amount of people that AFK is absurd, to put up some numbers, you can expect about .8 players to afk per game at around 20 mins in That means someone on either team will likely leave the game before mid-game hits its peak.

I propose a system where players who AFK during PBE games to be suspended for a week. since access to the PBE is a previllage granted to honorable players (the actual account creation can only occur if you've accumulated honor 3+ or higher, and access to PBE is revoked with honor levels dipping back below that point) I think this is a suitable way to go about it. Going AFK in a game isn't honorable behaviour. please don't do it.

Hmmm PBE is meant only to test if things work correctly. So an AFK shouldn't stop you to see if something bug or not.

While your point does have merit, my counterargument to that is, why restrict it to select people with honor level 3+ in that instance? the way i see it, access to the PBE is a previllage from playing the game without being toxic (as loosely defined as the word is) and playing the game it was meant to be wouldn't having a player go afk almost every game defeat the purpose of this restriction?
