I don't know if this goes in player behavior or general but. I really don't think that if your in a ranked solo duo match and a teammate afk's and leaves the game. whether your the enemy or ally team. i don't think it should count towards your lp if your teammate gave up and left. it happens so much these days its annoying. i understand it's ranked its based on your win rate lose rate but sometimes i wish that if the automated system detected this in a rank match it wouldn't punish you. that's how i went from silver 4 on my main account to iron lost so much from that happening or sometimes some other reason. not blaming the team i know i'm sometimes at fault i do bad or something or i just completely get tilted but. someone really leaving during a ranked match really fucks up the experience and you losing because of it really screws up your elo. i had a enemy team member who everyone thought was a bot even our team because they fed so hard to a yi on our team with 10 deaths in the first 15mins i felt so bad for the enemy because the team mate they had would just run down lane just kill minions and would just stand there when they got ganked or tried to run or fight but not using actual abilities from what i saw. idk it's just that situations like that suck. hope league does something about detecting bot players in summoners rift and most definitely twisted treeline.

No, you did not drop because of other players. Period.

Let's assume you deserve to be Silver 4. Thus, if matched with other Silver 4 players, you would have a 50/50 shot of winning the game each game. Thus you would not fall in rank.

But wait, what if someone AFKs? There's 5 enemies, and 4 teammates. Assuming you aren't the one AFKing, it's 20% more likely that the AFK in any game is on the enemy team. Thus, over time, you actually gain LP slowly because of this sort of thing.

So put bluntly, you fell because you are at an Iron skill level. Not because of other players.

And no, the player almost certainly wasn't a bot. You ever had to play with 500 ping randomly in a game when 30 minutes before you had 40 ping like normal? Yeah, you'd "act like a bot" too.
