Protect Ranked players from Akf

Why is there no system in place to protect Ranked players from AFK. Yeah you can report... but it might not even do anything if the other team doesn't report (why would they sometimes, they won and my be hungry for more wins and to rank up). And even if it works I'm still out 21 or 22 lp, lp that i worked hard for as wins give you like 15.

So I ask Roit will you do anything to protect players who do well or even just even stay in game regardless of AFK's. Decreased lp loss based on number of AFK's/ time AFKed for or personal scores (those who do well regardless)? To me it seems only fare to protect players in ranked from AFK's.

For example

I just played a game of ranked before writing this and had 2 AFK's. What can I do in this situation? LuluLulu jg went AFK after her camp didn't work out (makes sense) even though she hovered JannaJanna (can work) for a second then ShyvanaShyvana until the last second where she changed to luluLulu when she was up to lock in, and did so regardless of the rest of the team asking her not to. The second AFK was vel'kozVelkoz support. A decent choice if you know how to use him but also had bad game and left after LuluLulu. Both left somewhat early in the game at lvl 5Lulu lvl 7Velkoz. The rest of the team got to lvl 15Tristana lvl 16Brand and lvl 18Garen. This sucks especially when when BrandBrand mid had 11 kills and I, GarenGaren top had 16. this is more than any other champ on the enemy team Kayn 6 Draven 6 Jax 7 Ekko 8 and Malphite 8 (what a sup). That's a 5 kill difference and 12,522 gold difference for a 3v5. if we had a 5v5 we could have won team fights and had more kills/gold.

You know, this is actually a somewhat better idea than the ones normally presented. Most of the time people demand that an afk should be a loss prevented. This one you still suffer so less likely to be abused, although it would still seem some.

If it prevented at max like 5 lp from being loss I would consider it. Any more and it may become more tempted to abuse. As you said, it would be less for less time gone so people don't try to bite a bullet for others.

lel. You know that x9 reports is the same as one person reporting? So all you need is one valid report for something to happen.

Would you also decrease the LP gains if the losing team has AFKs?
