Losing LP in Ranked with a Dced teammate AFTER /remake timer

I know it probably sounds like crying and complaining, but I've just lost about 40 LP in the last 2 games because I got shit on 4v5. Mind you, I wasn't doing so hot in the first place, I will admit; however, when a teammate leaves AFTER the remake timer, and doesn't attempt to come back, it's kinda hard to play against 5 tryhards. I'm not even going to go into the fact that I already keep getting match made WITH 1 to 3/7 mastery tier facing 6 and 7/7 mastery tier (which already puts my team at a disadvantage), but fighting 4v5 just makes it that much more "fun."

Here's my idea... If a teammate leaves after 3 minutes (so /remake can't be used) and before.. say.... 8 minutes or so? Before the game is even close to being decided?? and they don't so much as make an effort to reconnect, I'm saying that the LP loss for the team with 4 players should either be cut in half so they don't drop so far after a grind, or it should be nonexistent. As I mentioned... I'm a terrible player as is, I'm still Bronze 2 with a peak of B1. I'm trying to better myself, but when I lose 40 LP because Ekko is getting dumpstered 1/3 at 7 minutes, or because 2/1 teemo hasn't got a gank in 8 minutes when Bot actually NEEDS the help, I think it's bullshit that I have to lose so much of my grind just because people leave and make the game even more unwinnable.

And don't come at me with "Oh, just report so they aren't in the game anymore" I have... Every time... and as for these two in particular I still haven't got a "penalty awarded autofill protection" which means nothing has been done... I reported a yi who left at like lvl 3 yesterday and before the next game queued I got an award... AND THAT WAS IN NORMIES!!! I reported Ekko almost an hour ago, nothing. Teemo? I just reported before typing this TED talk, still nothing. You wanna tell me to report them? Then refund the lost LP and ban their account for that, because I already have!!! Thanks for ruining ranked...

How many times have you won LP because of the same reason?

There's no such thing as "tryhard" in Ranked. If you're playing Ranked, you're expected to try hard to win.

8 minutes into the game is enough to have a feel for where the game is going. For example, if I can't get ahead in the first 8 minutes, I can just call it quits and my premade won't lose LP. Likewise, I can "win trade" without affecting my own team and, suddenly, "win trading" is no longer something people want to report because it doesn't hurt them.

As you may realize, that is an exploitable system.

I have to lose so much of my grind

I mean, you only have 60 games in Solo Queue. I wouldn't call that a grind. Even then, 2 out of 60 games is just 3%. Those 2 games mean nothing in the bigger picture.

ban their account for that

Riot doesn't ban players for AFK/DC, unless it's abusive behaviour.

That's exactly my point! I just won 2 games because people Dced!!! THIS IS THE PROBLEM! It's not about me winning or losing because of someone who Dced, it's the face that the accounts still exist and they're allowed to just keep doing this. I don't get why me winning from this matters. The fact is, it should be a test of skill, not whoever is at a disadvantage before the game starts...

I'll give you that one, it was a poor figure of speech and I was tilted out of my mind...

How can you tell 8 minutes in when you're a 2/1 teemo that we're going to lose when the team isn't even falling behind, you're just mad that you haven't got a gank when you didn't need one... How can you tell me 7 mins in that Ekko can't come back by trading lanes, or just playing more passively? This isn't a "this game is over" problem, this is an "I'm gonna waste everyone else's time because I don't care" and that's the behavior that needs curved.

You're right, no one reports wintrading anymore, ya know why? because literally every game you get in feels like a win trade, and riot does nothing about it. The motto of riot is try your best without being toxic and you'll never get banned... How can you tell me that giving up 4-9 mins into the game is "trying your best?"

I get working 40+ hrs a week isn't necessarily an excuse, but I try my best when I get spare time to play; although, my attitude towards this game gets broken when stuff like this happens in games. Like i said, I just won back all my LP because I was in two games where an enemy Dced, but that's not how it should be. I'm not happy with the outcome + or -...

I think I made a thread on this before where I had a plan like a politician.. lol 1st (without trying to reconnect or get back in the game and actually play) you get the usual leaver buster thing 2nd you get a 4-6 hour ban (I don't make the rules, so I don't know which is more fair) 3rd you get a 2 week ban 4th you get permabanned.

It would make people waste more time grinding out lvl 30 accounts so they'd have to spend less time wintrading. Idk if that's a fair thing to do, if it's too much or not enough, but it's an idea to end wintrading and early game dcing for no reason in ranked. Let me know what you think.
