I have a possible solution to AFK/DC LP gains & losses! (REDs PLZ LOOK!)

Everyone wants loss forgiven or lower LP losses when your team has an afk, dc, troll, etc. I think I have a solution that wouldn't be too abusive and would be hard to take advantage of.

Leave it up to the 'Other' team for a vote! Must be 3 or 4 out of 5. If they are decent people and they realize what happened and feel the remaining players where worth it, they can vote for the other team to get a 'Loss Forgiven' or at least a lower LP loss. It is like a surrender vote so majority would have to be for it. That way the losing team can't just get it automatic free game but the winning team deems it worthy or necessary for them to get it.

Not a bad concept, but can still be abused. For instance, people might start agreeing to loss forgive everyone so that "nobody loses."

For it to work there'd need to be some decent parameters. For instance, there could be random checks done to confirm that successful enemy team votes are valid. If an invalid vote is made, whoever voted "Yes" would need to receive a severe punishment, such as permanently banning them from voting in the future, or a 1 week game ban.

Even then I feel like it's going to get too complicated. I dunno if it's worth the effort. AFKs and DCs aren't even that common, it's no big deal if it happens. The enemy team gets AFKs/DCs too, it evens out.

Yes parameters would definitely be needed. In the post game lobby you see the names in red if they left the game. I would say if they leave before level 11 then the vote would be allowed. Or something like that so a team can't decide to forgive a team if they lose late and just decide to do it. Just put another tab by the, Gift/Honor/Report button and it only activates if the parameter are met for the Winning team. The losing team never gets the option. Maybe also only allow this if one or more of the players is in a 'promo' game. That way a DC, etc. doesn't cost you a series game. I also like the idea, like you said.... You are only allowed to forgive a team 1 maybe 2 times a week, or something that you can build up like ARAM rerolls.
