the afk issue

Hello,

Today I reached 50% of my games with an afk in my team (16 games played). 8 games I played with no fun at all, losing my time and unable to leave because I would be considered afk obliously those 8 games were lost, and with the other loss I moved from +40 to +28. I was wondering if something was/will be done about that ? here are some ideas:

splitting the gold of the afk
reinforcing structure, heroes in the afk team
stopping the game, granting a win to the winners, a loss to the afk and nothing to the others
allowing people to leave so that they don't lose their time
other ideas that many people might have think of

to conlcude I'm so pissed to lose my time to the same things over and over: toxic players, afk, people who don't even know the basics ... which has been going on for 5 years or so I am told 5 years, an eternity in video game history

...

My idea for afks in ranked in ranked if somebody goes afk and their team loses:

If they are solo que: 1st Time: Nothing different to the AFK, loss prevented to rest of team 2nd: AFK takes 1/4 of what their team would have lost, rest get loss prevented 3rd: AFK takes half of the LP loss of what the team would have lost, rest get Loss Prevented, if in promos/series they instantly fail 4th: They take all of the LP loss that team would have taken, if in promos/series they instantly fail, team gets loss prevented 5th: Same as 4th time, but they will also receive a time ban increasing with each time they afk.

If in Duo que: 1st time: Other 3 players get loss prevented 2nd: Afk and Duo Partner take 1/4 of what their team would have lost, rest get loss prevented 3rd: Afk and Partner take half of the LP loss of what the team would have lost, rest get loss prevented, if either are in promos/series they instantly fail 4th: They take all of the LP loss that team would have taken, if either are in promos/series they instantly fail, team gets loss prevented 5th: Same as 4th time, but they will also receive a time ban increasing with each time they afk.

The reason why the punishments are stacking because I understand that something might happen, like you lose power or a family emergency, and to take all of the LP from that right away would be unfair to the poor guy. However, unless you have the crappiest of luck, you wont probably hit that unless you are an afk troll.
