Trolls getting free wins in games where they AFK

So this is my first post on the forums, I had no real incentive to speak my mind as the opinions of low silver players are generally not taken seriously. I just played a game a few minutes ago with a summoner by the name of <REMOVED BY MODERATION> who was by far the most toxic player I've ever had on my team. He banned my pick in champ select claiming to have played with me the day before and saying I was too bad with that champion to play. I let it go because it wasn't really important and I try not to react to trolls. He proceeded to get a huge gold lead on the enemy by stealing all of my redside camps, following me around and making me smite things to get the gold. After his first death at 12 ish minutes he disconnected and reconnected every 10 or so minutes, afking in base. We ended up winning anyways thanks to a good baron call and out of curiosity I checked his opgg to see if he gained LP from the match and to my surprise he did. There was no sign whatsoever that he had afked for the vast majority of the game. So I guess my question is this: why should he benefit from my and my teammates hard work when he did everything he could to frustrate us and didn't even play most of the game?

It doesn't look like he got LP to me.

He was away for 15 days (maybe a ban), played today, and stayed the same LP as yesterday and the day before that.

Look at the LP graph.

I don't think OP.GG accurately reflects leaving.

The game will show a victory, however if you're afk for more than 5 minutes you do lose lp. Happened to me when my entire apartment lost power during a ranked game a while back.

Also, no naming and shaming. Remove his name from the text.

Hello. I've edited your post to remove the players name. While it's understandable to be frustrated at someone Name and Shame is not allowed on the forums. If you reported them after the game then your job is done, though if need be you could always file a Support Ticket about them. If you do then just know that due to privacy reasons they won't tell you of any disciplinary actions taken against them.

Feel free to contact us at the Moderation Discord for any questions about this removal.

Thank you, and have a good day.
