The A.F.K.

I know, I know. It always happens. Computer freezes, games crash, internet goes down, etc. Worse someone decides "I'm done with this team!!!" The dreaded AFK. You've got a team that seems to be just the right set up for your opponents. Their not looking forward to what may happen. The game loads and.....boom. No jungle. No mid. Uggg, No support. i accept that this happens and i know it will continue but what gets me is the punishment. Why should those of us that continue in the game and get pummeled suffer the full points loss as a regular 5 vs 5 loss. Don't get me wrong, if a teammate leaves after the game begins, punish away. But if the player is not there from the get go, how come everyone suffers? Yes ,i understand that is why teams are a important part of this game just to avoid these situations. However, some, like myself, enjoy honing their gaming abilities by playing when the team isn't around. Just sitting there waiting for a game to load can get frustrating enough and then to see and AFK. I don't know. I hope that maybe, someday others with a more important voice then my own will say something to change this. Even half the cost of a 5 vs 5 loss would be an improvement. (Maybe even a little extra for a 4 vs 5 win...:) ). Just something to say "hey i know it was 4 vs 5. sorry."
