Can something be done about rage quitters after one death?

I have had 2 games recently where people literally leave the game after their first death, they die once, swear at the team, and leave.

Remake only happens if someone doesn't connect to the game, but it doesn't save us from 2 minute rage quitters.

This is awful, what is also awful are people who rage quit and then leave the game and reconnect for the entire game to make it look like they are still playing and wont be marked by the leaver buster.

Edit: Another rage quitter in my first game of the day from another single death, this is out of hand.

LeaverBuster is advanced enough that it isn't usually fooled by people who are pretending to play.

Mars is correct. And even if a player has a connection blip and reconnects to actually play, they can still be flagged for a leave through the LeaverBuster. When they first launched the new client, it bugsplatted me twice in that week, and both times, I immediately reconnected and continued playing the games, but it gave me the first level of LeaverBuster (the pop-up where it makes you promise not to leave games). So, if a player reconnects, but makes no attempt to play, they can definitely be caught by the system. The overall system can track a player's exp, i.e. determining if they were earning any. It can check to see what movements a player made, and moving back and forth within the base is enough to keep the pop-up from coming on screen, but is not enough to fool the system.

Just to be on the safe side, be sure to report them using the option for Leaving the Game/AFK. I've seen threads in the past week with a player commenting that he was actually given a ban from the Instant Feedback System for AFKing within 15 minutes of the match ending. I'm not sure how it will work with having both the LeaverBuster/Low Priority Queue system and the Instant Feedback System punishments able to punish players for rage-quitting and ruining games, but Riot is definitely making sure that things are in place to crack down on them. A few games with the 20 minute LPQ should discourage anyone from exiting after that embarrassing level one death.

Another game where someone rage quits after one death.

That's 3 games in 5, this is awful.
