The fall hurts.

I really wish riot would address the AFK problem in lower divisions of ranked play. I was always on the wall about it. I often thought to myself, "Does it make a difference? Will it even out over time?"

Well after around 100 games in ranked on a new account I have some actual data: Starting rank: Silver 2 (0 lp) (Yeah, I'm not great, but I'm learning) Ending rank: Silver 4 (34 lp) Highest rank: Silver 1 (20ish lp)

AFK Statistics (All afks on either team always resulted in a loss): AFKers on my team: 14 (5 in a row today, got fed up and decided to write this post dropped from S2 11lp to S4 34lp) AFKers on enemy team: 5

It may even out for some people, but even with a limited data set, I don't see how it is going to even out over the next 100 games.
