I just had a game with 2 afks... so why do we all lose the same lp those 2 individuals lost us the chance at winning ..so why should all 5 of us lose the same amount of lp(respective to our mmr)?

becasue lets be real you wont win with 2 afks or an afk in general so why not punish the afkers and relieve the lose on the others

have the players that stayed connected lose 25%-50% less lp

and maybe have the afkers lose elevated lp lets say 20% this will prevent someone from afking to relieve the loss on the rest of the team because they are gonna get killed by the elevated loss and it would act as a punishment for afking in general

and whether or not you would've won the game 5v5 is irrelevant because the afk's lost you the chance at even finding that out fairly

also it would be cool to see this for ingeniously bad performances(minus the elevated loss) like 5 solo deaths pre 10 minutes

I think Riot's thinking is that if people got less of a punishment for losing when they have an afk it would encourage teammates to harass someone on their team badly enough for them to afk if their team is losing so the don't receive as severe a punishment. Or it would encourage people to have someone in their group afk to save the rest of the group some LP for losing.
