Duos, The Solo Queue Terror (New Champion!)

Alright, the title sounds catchy enough. I probably got the attention of most of the community. No no, it's not a champion I'm afraid :( (Too op).

You guys probably think this is a venting session, and it probably revolves somewhere around there, but no. I really think Riot needs a more enforcing system of sorts where people can't simply just resort to AFKing because "GG, Mid FB + Double Buff" or something like that. I mean, just recently, I had a game where the bot lane simply gave up because they were being camped by Skarner, and their Corki gets fed. "GG, our yi no follow-up" and they're a duo, so they just both say [ALL]"GG, our yi just farms and no ganks." Okay, I had to admit that's true, but that still doesn't mean you can simply GIVE UP.

And let's get to another note. Duos. I mean, not duos in general, but the power of duos is just too stronk. Since they have each other to back each other up, they're not afraid to do something as drastic as feed or afk. "its kay, report me, im already in gold, i got my rewards". Meanwhile I'm trying to get to Gold.

I guess the main point of what I'm trying to say is to have reds have a little sympathy for us noobs down here that are trying to climb up the ladder but are continuously being pulled down by the AFKs and such.

tl;dr: So yeah. This could be a QQ session. People quit mid-game. Feedback, or insults?

EDIT1: I mean people are just downright rude, with no shits given, 100%. I honestly think reports don't do much, (other than stop future acts which I don't care about, would rather an immediate punishment because I'm a selfish and vengeful person c:) because people that continue to do this is still out there. And btw, I'm only talking about rankeds. Don't play norms because I wanted out of the afk's and such, and #RaceForGold.

tl;dr#2 (for Edit#1): Let's have an active imagination and create something and rid the world of all these mishaps!

What people need to understand about league is that its a TEAM game. Sometimes you win because they do however the team should always be aware of what they can do to help. Even so, The best of the league players get camped (look at dyrus) :P

Their is a report button. It helps. Especially if they are duo, because chances they do that more than actually play the game.

Also, it is a free to play game. so you have people of all ages, so maturity levels aren't always going to be "proper competitive level" maturity. I had an ahri, who was fed and snowballing, intentionally DC and come back two minutes later just because our ADC did that earlier to reboot his signal so he would stop lagging in our ranked game. She raged the whole game about it, then pulled that out and eventually just started feeding and said something along the lines of "Let's surrender, mom says I need to go or I'll be grounded."

That made me remember that the community on free to play games vary more than others, and harder to read what kind of people you play with on the daily. (Unless you end up going a League or Gaming clan who has a League division, like Gentlemen Gamers or something)

tl;dr I know how you feel, but we do play with people of all ages. Report button is like the only thing to do. :(

Not afking in particular because its too easy to play off as an accident or computer malfunction, but ranked baddies in general and a way to thwart them are some topics I covered in my post. I gave what I personally think is a very simple and easily implemented way to literally stop these guys before the game starts. I would like all of the people who see this to take a look at it and really give some honest feedback as to what they think about my idea. Thx :3
