Ranked w/ Leavers/AFK's
So, I'm a relatively new player that's finally been giving a shot at ranked, and after being immediately qualified for Silver V, that got quite the motivation for me to keep going to see where I can go. But over these past days I've been noticing something (something non-ranked games also suffer from, but au contraîre, in non-ranked you don't actually 'lose' something, so it never came as severe.) This issue nonetheless seems to be across many more leagues, from Bronze to early Silver in whole:
'People who leave the game prematurely, either through displeasure, unacceptance or disconnection.'
What has been bothering me is that behavior like this - albeit already disallowed by the rules - is actually having an additional effect; It drags the whole team under, letting them lose LP and their Ranked progression over reasons that were not in their - or their opponent's - control.
I'm going to propose the following idea, and mind you, I'm not as experienced in ranked yet to know what/how other leagues are experiencing this problem with, but I would like to see a measurement that prevents the whole team from crashing down in rank if a player prematurely leaves (or goes idle ingame)
support, with
as ADC. He/She suddenly tilted so hard because her internet connection was acting up, and around level 6-7, they decided "Screw this, I'm not gonna play with this ping.", and went idle for the rest of the game in spawn. This evidently caused us to lose the game, and it's these kind of situations I don't want to get punished on myself.
