AFK's in Ranked

I know this has been mentioned a lot in the past, but there really should be something done about AFK's in Ranked. It is really bullsh*t that there is no compensation for having an AFK that loses you the game. I have lost at least 5 games this season because of an AFK who puts us at such a disadvantage. I know that the new Remake feature is being addded, but it does nothing for people who leave in the middle of a game. 4v5's are such a disadvantage and 99% of the time results in a loss. Please implement a system to address the AFK's who leave in the middle of the game, maybe if they are AKF for a good majority of the game, say at least 40%, there is no LP loss for the losing team (maybe Loss Prevented). Please address this issue as it is very frustrating, and there is no excuse not to do anything about it.

Thanks, Arctic Reaper

Ya I used to think that there's no possible way they could make a system that wouldn't be taken advantage of and abused by players. But they could really just make it so only the afk'er gets punished and loses LP.

Then if you wanna take advantage of it, like say you play with friends so one guy goes afk in a losing match to save his friends' LP and they kinda take turns on who the AFK will be, they could just add harsher penalties for going afk consistently.

But a strict consistency... not like one a day but more like maybe more than one per week and u recieve punishment outside of LP loss. I don't know though, I'm sure there's problems with that that I haven't thought of.
