Obvious fixes to make League 10X better

I am pretty tired of Riot refusing to address obvious problems with the game: AFK's, feeders, and trolls. WAY too many games are decided by these factors, and negatively affects those of us who take the game seriously, especially in ranked (I am seven games into my ranked play this season and two games were decided by AFK's). I propose a simple solution that I would like peoples comments on. Hopefully we can get Riot to listen. First, if any player is AFK for more than 5 min., that game should have NO impact on LP UNLESS the team who lost the player can still manage to get the win. Then they should be awarded bonus LP. As far as feeders go, anyone who has a negative KDA over a 20 game average simply should not be allowed to play ranked. It is common sense. If you die THAT MUCH you have no business being in ranked. Finally, trolls. If people get reported for trolling and evidence is provided that substantiates the accusation, they should have their account suspended for a month. At least. Think of any other sport with competitive divisions..... If a player in the NBA just stopped playing and sat in the middle of the court (AFK), they would get yanked out IMMEDIATELY. And punished. Or if a player just started to deliberately give the ball to the opposing team (feeding), they would get sacked. And if the center all of the sudden decided to try and be the point guard (trolling), they would be GONE. Fired. It is common sense. There would be zero tolerance. Can we light this post up so Riot finally pays attention and fixes common sense issues? I am tired of it. I am tired of having a 4:1 KDA and leading my team with damage to objectives in most my games only to lose because of an AFK, feeder, or troll. Or two.

That could be exploited so easily, and would lead to increased toxicity/harrassment.

As far as feeders go, anyone who has a negative KDA over a 20 game average simply should not be allowed to play ranked. It is common sense. If you die THAT MUCH you have no business being in ranked.

Punishing your playerbase for being bad at the game by locking out one of the largest aspects of it is a great way to kill off your game very quickly. And no, that's not common sense at all. If you die that much you might have no business being in the rank you're currently in, and you'll drop accordingly until you're playing against equally skilled players. You have every right to continue playing ranked though. You're also basing your idea purely on k/d/a, which doesn't really determine how well you actually played. By your rules, someone consistently going 0/1/0 but splitpushing and carrying every game should be punished.

Finally, trolls. If people get reported for trolling and evidence is provided that substantiates the accusation, they should have their account suspended for a month

A month seems like an arbitrarily chosen amount of time, but they already do this. It's just for 2 weeks, followed by a permanent ban.

If a player in an NBA game and has to leave (say their wife got in an accident or something) not only are there procedures in place to get that message to the player and allow them to leave, but the game still counts even if he's their star player.

If you want to make KDA a part of whether I can play ranked, then I just won't play a tank, nor would I body block for my teammates as a support.

the kda part is silly

i would rather have a Tryndamere that go 0/5/0 but wins with good split pushing then a that goes 20/0/0 everygame by chasing kills all the time.

same goes for other champs i would have a jg that play around dragons and barons then one that is good at killing only and let the enemy jg have 3 inferno drakes

You do not understand, you should wash your brain a little bit more on the PB Boards, and then you would know only the flamers are the problem, they ruin the game.

Trolls do not exist, just players having a bad game. And also, flaming causes players have a bad game, so they are responsible for the trolls too (also the climate change and ocean pollution, idk how yet, but these Rito fanbois will explain it soon).

There are numerous problems with this. The NBA thing... Ehhh.. We are not getting paid a million dollars a game. But, to be fair, it is still a competition. And AFKing players are a serious problem that should be addressed with the player. There are better ways of handling this I believe. The K/D/A thing is wholly incorrect. Supports can go negative many times if there are not a lot of kills in the game. Inting Sion can carry a game. Nasus may not get many kills and could die a few times but could walk straight down top lane to the Nexus. Not really a good way to measure success. Lane pressure, zone control, and a million things have to be taken into account.

Nothing will ever be done to improve the situation.
