This is so dumb Riot, why do we lose LP if someone goes afk in a ranked game, I understand that things happen (power goes out, wifi shuts off, or something terrible happens), but why does everyone else get punished for that, that's so stupid if you just made it to where the team with the afk does not lose lp if they lose and made it to where afk penalties were a lot worse such as banning or maybe perma banning after the first offense rather than giving them multiple chances. If this was how it works the ranked system would be so much better, please make this happen riot or find some other way to fix this problem, because right now we are being punished for losing when we have an afk on our team, we are being punished because someone else messes up our game and inhibits our chances.item 3070 Amumu

if this was implemented then people would try to bully others to afk/dc during a losing game so they wouldn't lose lp.

I also notice that whenever brings up this exact same thing they never suggest that they shouldn't gain lp when the enemy team has an afk.

Gaining LP is fine if the enemy team has an AFK. You shouldn't be punished for another persons thing. People would abuse it, but that is where banning comes into play. Its one of the reasons I don't like playing ranked. I really dislike being punished because someone on my team decided to be a dick, or they had some other issue that couldn't be helped.
