Hi so i was playing ranked today and it went all just too good we we're all really fed and it seemed we we're going to win but then our ADcarry left she just left for a unknown reason so we we're in a 4v5 and it went all downhill we lost teamfigths they we're splitpushing because of the number advantage and we adventually lost. i was wondering if riot games could change the ranked abit, i was hoping they would let the players who lost with a afk person in their team not lose the lp they would have lost if they we're in a 5. I've seen challanger players in their normal ranked games and then poof one of them left, wintrader we never know.

And what do you suggest we do with the LP that the winning team gained? If a team wins LP, a team has to lose LP or the rank ladders get fucked up. It's not fair to the winning teams if the people they beat (regardless of AFK) don't lose LP.

I agree with this. Leaving games should be punished more severely. Perhaps the person who left has to take 25% of the LP loss of his teammates (which is basically doubling the leaver's LP loss to lessen the impact on his teammates).

Obviously it doesn't mess up ladders too much, because this happens when servers have stability issues. The losing team loses no LP at all. The winning team gets something like half normal LP gain (I've been on both the winning and losing side of these matches). So, it's not zero sum in that instance.

We don't live in a perfect world. Shit happens. Power outages, family emergencies, sudden earthquakes. Take your pick. You want to punish people for things outside their control?

Believe it for not, I once had to leave a game to seek safety during a magnitude 6 earthquake. I can't even count the amount of games I lost over the years to power outages.
