Loss Prevention for the Teammates of AFKs?

Why do we not get a loss prevention when one of our teammates have been DC'd from the game for 10+ Minutes? We take the full hit of a loss for not having a full team and the player who left the game takes the normal loss and a LeaverBuster strike, that's it? They're costing people their promos and loads of LP.

The traditional riot response is that it's more likely to play against a leaver than it is to have a leaver on your team, since there are 5 enemies but only 4 teammates. So it balances out in the long run. I sincerely doubt that's still true with dynamic queue, but.. yeah.

Because that's simply not what "loss prevention" is; it's entirely inapplicable to the results of your personal games.
