Why does the game start if not everyone is connected?

This just doesn't make sense. It should either wait a short period to see if they will connect, or just disban the game. 4v5 really sucks. If you don't want to do this, at least allow me to leave penalty free instead of waiting ~30 mins (you know you are going to get those, "we can do it guys!!" dumb dumbs that won't ff vote and just drag the game on, even though the score is 20-4).

Disband the game? In normals, sure. But in ranked, don't you see how this could be exploited?

they already do they usually wait about 5 mins if someone is not connected to see if they reconnect

I like this, but they should put more emphasis on removing exploitability in it too.

Aka, if one or more players do not connect to the game, the game is disbanded, with the non-connecting player recieving a leaverbuster punishment. If the player is in a duo, both the player and their partner recieves a leaver buster punishment.

There's no exploitation, there's no loopholes, there's no reason this shouldn't be implemented.

Another game without a support. Why is this allowed? Completely ruins my game trying to 1v2 a lane. Get your shit together rito.

Disbanding the game would actually be a pretty great idea. Just give the penalty to the person that never connected in, that way 4 people don't have to sit through a 4v5. The penalty for the person that didn't connect doesn't have to be too harsh; just something like 4-5 LP just like if you'd dodged in champ select.
