Option to vote out.

I believe that the game should not load if 1 or more people have not connected yet, and there should be a waiting period during loading to give that person a chance to reconnect. If the period expires and the person does not connect still, you should give the 4 people a warning message saying "Your 5th person has yet to connect, would you like to exit this game or proceed with 4?" Or something to that extent. Instead of leaving the 4 people to pray to god that they don't have a 5th. I queued up yesterday and after exhausting every single trick I knew how to do, the game continued to refuse my connection and I had my first true AFK game. There's been games where it took me 5~10 minutes just to get in awhile ago, but this is the first time I've had the game completely refuse to let me in. I genuinely hate when people AFK, but it's frustrating when there's nothing I can do about it, because I hate screwing my teammates over.

This is actually a really good Idea.

Yes or the game could just be disbanded if one team has someone who isn't connecting.

Good idea if it weren't so heavily abusable; why que dodge if you can just turn off your internet and "fail" to load in?

No one's saying the 5th player (AFK or didn't load) shouldn't be punished. The player would still be punished for AFK if the other 4 players voted to quit, which would reduce the chance of abuse greatly.

I strongly believe that it would be put to good use more than it would be abused. Even if this feature is abused 1/4 of the time it's used, and used 3/4 of the time legitimately, I would say that it's definitely worth it. Because the lack of this feature causes even more problems like AFKs, increased feeders/trolls/quitters and ragers.

On top of that, a lot of people will just quit playing LoL for a while after they've been forced a whole game of 4v5. This would largely erase that issue. I don't care what anyone says about 4v5 being 'fun' or a 'challenge'. The challenge in the game should be the skill of 5 players vs the skill of 5 players, not hoping your 4 players are better than their 5 is just stupid.

Yeh, as Supp Hero said, the person who failed to load or "failed to load" would still be punished. Regardless of whether or not they meant to. But the entire reasoning behind my idea was so that the other 4 aren't completely screwed.
