I'm just done with Ranked AFKs, does Riot care at all? Are they ever going doing anything?

Our Jungler just AFKed for 10 minutes at the start of the game while Nunu started taking all our jungle buffs, the dragon, and ganking and getting everyone fed while our Vi is gone, by the time Vi is back we're unable to contest anything. What's the point? League is too snowbally to come back from this unless you are significantly than where you and most people aren't that's why they are in the division they are in.

I'm just done with AFKs, they happen too frequently and I'm near the top of Silver, when does this end when people have a stable connection and this does't happen every other game. I don't want to play a 5v4, I don't want to play a 4v5, I don't even care about the loss of ELO. I have a terrible job, and I just want to enjoy the game, win or lose after a day of the endless grind of crap. If someone on my team disconnects I would rather take an auto loss than waste my time in a fruitless 4v5 since apparently Riot is unable to give us loss forgiven or restart the game for whatever reason. Yes, I want to move up the ladder, but there's no sense in playing a game and spending 30-50 minutes of my life that is going to be an inevitable loss of ELO, just give the team the loss and move on. League is not winninable in a 4v5 unless the other team has a catastrophic failure or you are smurfing.

Look, I know what it's like to have disconnection issues. I was disconnecting frequently last year in July back and you know what I did? I quit playing ranked for at least four months until I was able to get the problem fixed. Me ruining the game for others was not worth it despite really wanting to play ranked because I enjoy League of Legends.

I'm just ready to quit over this, I'm done. Why aren't the real issues with this game addressed ever? I am absurdly pissed off but am trying to be rational not curse and just get a legitimate answer from Riot.

Incoming infinite downvotes for whatever reason, not that I care. The voting system is just a way something associated with League is made more toxic than it needed to be.

I suggest to mitigate loading screen AFKs, that the game simply not load if we have one guy that doesn't connect by the time everyone is sitting at 100% for 3 min and the guy still has not connected. Also, as soon as some one AFK's over 5 min, the game ends and loss forgiven except for the guy who AFK, and gets lost LP as normal.

Riot says that it all evens out in the end. Sure you got an afk, but, according to pie in the sky statistics, you have less of a chance to get an afk than the enemy team.

All rito cares about is "muh toxic". They are too stupid to realize that the trolling they allow to happen is actually the reason the community is toxic. I really haven't seen anyone flipping shit for nothing. It is always them raging at the 0-10-0 player that is like "lulz itz jus a gayme nuuub".
