AFK Loss Prevention

Players with disconnects on their team for longer than 6 minutes should be given loss prevention. Loss prevention grants immunity to LP/MMR loss in circumstances where the disadvantaged team does not win the game. The winning team will still gain the original amount of LP as intended, and the player who disconnected from the game will incur a 100 LP loss, 5 low priority queues, and a steep MMR drop.

THIS is how you stop players from going AFK.

I’ve seen posts years back that address this subject. Riot won’t do anything but maybe state why they will never do that.

I’ve given up hope on Riot punishing AFKers in ranked or protecting those who get punished by AFKers.

That's totaly stupid :

and the player who disconnected from the game will incur a 100 LP loss, 5 low priority queues, and a steep MMR drop.

So after 4 or 5 games ruined because you afk, you will now start ruining games because you are playing way below your real MMR and stomping the games.

Looks like a GREAT improvement.
