Riot plz you guys need to put harsher punishment for the players that keep afking in rank, Like seriously when are you guys gonna do something about this... I was silver 3 have droped now to silver 4 , not only this directly makes you lose LP (thats 60-80LP lost) due to ppl going afk, but this also tilts the hell out of you, knowing that no matter how hard you try most likely you will not win the game. Honestly I dont even care about normal games, but this keeps happening in rank OVER AND OVER AGAIN.!!!! Loosing 80 Lp just to dcs , same thing every day I play , its a non-stop issue. Riot needs to lockout members out of rank if they do this stuff. A new punishment needs to happen!!!!

I wish they would be harsher on it. Ironically, they punish people who come back after a minute or two, but when people rage quit or DC constantly? Just a queue timer. Why not ban them after they leave 3 times after that low priority queue timer punishment?

Riot lacks the passion or the intelligence to deal with this. Probably both.

Im just gonna take a few days off from this game. At this point it feels that Im just wasting my time trying to climb, I though once out of bronze there would be less ppl to disrupt my games from Dcing and or afking, but I been all around silver up and down, have lost so many promos, or demoted so many times heavily due to games being lost cuz of these type of players that it is starting to feel like Im the only one with the team with these kind of players. Yes is that often that happens. .. Reporting does nothing, is just a phycological way to make you feel like something is gonna happen and later on its gonna get fixed.. I can deal with toxic people and or feeders in some way, but when its just a 4v5 after you were ahead and now its 40 mins into the game and you are trying for dear life to hold on , till hopefully the player that @11 mins into the game left ,hopefully comes back ; Why? Well because you dont want to lose any more LP since it is not the first time TODAY that you lose LP due to the same issue. Again this happens EVERY SINGLE DAY that I play... It has not gotten any better lately. I just wish riot would just block these players for 2 months or something out of Rank, even if they let them play normal....

I can safely say silver is filled with trolls, ppl using stupid characters they dont even have mastery, nobody takes ranked seriously. Might as well buy platinum account, at least you can get better at the game at that point.

I lost 2 today myself, I think I am just going to avoid ranked till the season starts, seems like its all afk or trolls now

Don't play ranked untill preseason ends , afking isn't the only problem honestly , the high damage and snowballing is worse , some people better go afk since they only steal your farm and and buffs and int , that's worse than feeding or afking

I feel your pain. I had a 5 game losing streak about two weeks ago because of the disconnects. While you do not have to report them in the post-game lobby, you can always submit the report through the system just to make sure it has the data that the person was going afk/leaving, in case they weren't disconnected at the time that the match ended. LeaverBuster has been turned up a bit recently, and it is getting more strict with putting people into low priority queue for afks and leaves.

I wish I had something more immediate that I could tell you that would "fix" this problem, but unfortunately, it's one that the system has to take care of by meting out the LPQ punishments. The only thing I can recommend is take a break if you get tilted. Walk away. Watch a video, take an actual walk, play a different game. Do something to reset yourself. After you've calmed down a bit, and when your head is back in the game, come back to it. If you have a person you can duo with for a couple matches, play with them some. It makes it easier to overcome a 4v5 if you have someone that you're coordinating with. I actually have a running joke with my duo partner about how I am spreading my curse to him whenever I've been on one of these streaks with a bunch of raging afkers or the bad connections. He just laughs it off, and then we do our thing.
