There is an epidemic of AFK's in low plat games

ever since i got into plat once again, there has been an incredible amount of AFKs. Its a shame that i have had more open mids than legitimate games because of how many afkers there are in this elo. It drives me nuts, 1 game the enemy team has the afk, the next game you have an AFK. This is what plat is pretty much at this point in time.

Increase the penalty for AFKs, because theyre actually affecting gameplay by not SHOWING UP TO THE GAME... Or even worse, leaving halfway through...
