AFKs, leavers and DC in Ranked: lets solve the problem!

Hi guys! As a pissed off ranked player I would like Riot to do something about AFks, leavers and DCs in ranked games. I propose we do smiilarly to Dota2: when a player leaves, afks or DC, you are allowed to leave the game without any penalty and the player who is in fault take all responsibility for the defeat of his own team, consequently he only loses LP. Thanks for reading me.

I disagree with your idea. I don't think that a person should be punished for leaving a game because sometimes the person simply has no control over it. Would you like to lose thirty or forty lp because your internet went out on you, or the client bugged, or you computer froze or your power went out or the world exploded? Of course you wouldn't! However, while I've become more and more convinced that the ranking system does overall work (being that if you truly deserve to go up in rank, then you will ultimately win more games than you lose, even if sometimes it doesn't feel like that), I do think that an afk should be counted as a loss forgiven, especially if you're in a placement or promotional.

As far as other people leaving, there really shouldn't be any excuse for you to leave if someone else does. Indeed, there is no telling what might happen if you stay the course. I just had a match earlier today where my adc-graves was afk for the first eleven minutes. But we still won because he came back, and not only that but the enemy tf left as well.

I feel that there should be an option during champ selection where if a player is saying negative things such as "mid or feed" or "im mid idc if it's pick order" that if 3/5 players in that team can vote to kick that person and start a new queue, and if the player that has been kicked has a duo partner he is kicked too. Also players who are kicked from champ selection are unable to queue for a time certain time. With this i feel like it would help a lot of ranked players a lot.

The bright side of this is that teammates can leave the game and not have to play the full game with lacking a teammate. The bad side of this is if the leaver's computer crashes or has a sudden event (Relative in hospital or something else)they will lose LP for something that was not their fault.
