We have been loosing lots of points in rank matches because of AFKs... It's not our fault that a guy or more are not playing the game.... some time it may be his error or server's error..... but at last all team members have to not only loose the match but also points...... I think its time that Riot should introduce a better way for remove points .. .
I recently started playing Dota 2 just to have something a little different. I really like how they handle AFKs. For those who don't know, if you have a teammate disconnect during a match they have 5 minutes to reconnect. This gives just enough time for a playing to reboot their computer and log back into the game. If the player doesn't reconnect in 5 minutes the teammates with the AFK can quit the game with no loss on their record and no penalty. The enemy team still gets a win, but they receive slightly less from the win than they would have if the game had actually gone to the end. The player that ADK'd is then required to play a certain amount of time in a special lobby for other players that AFK'd. They cannot play ranked during this time.
I can see how this system could be be abused, but can't everything? I don't see it being abused in Dota 2 (other players might have seen it though), and I don't see why it would work any differently in league.
Caoil's Idea about dota is correct.. Im not telling about giving a freebie or canceling the match.. Winners must have their win and Points... Im suggesting that Riot must create a better system to handle our points.. new match history is very detailed they can analyse those details and they can analyse the effect of the AFK to the match.. For example Im telling AFK should loose more point than a defeat and other should loose few points or none...
Soooo what you are saying if someone leaves, you get a freebie? Would not work at all. If your team started losing, people would start yelling at each other, telling them to leave so they don't lost LP. You complain about people leaving, yet you want to promote a system that promotes leaving instead of deterring it. And what happens to the winning team in the 5v4? Do they not get LP because they "won unfairly"?
