Afk's in Ranked

honestly, players should not lose LP for games like this. When players goes afk it loses games for players. The player that goes afk should be punished by loseing LP and bans. And players who tried to win the game but had an afk should not lose LP or lose very little LP. Also you should lose LP based on BAD you played or gain LP based on how GOOD you played.

P.S. i didnt know what heading to put this under, sorry

Then you have the issue of people disconnecting as they're about to lose. It really isn't a good system but there isn't an alternative.

[Same thing I put in your other post].

I agree that it sucks losing LP because you had an AFK on your team. I heard that Riot is currently working on a system that will cancel/redo a match if a player fails to connect from the very beginning. Unfortunately, there's not much, if anything at all, that can be done to compensate for having a teammate leave in the middle of a match without creating other unfair scenarios.

Also, losing LP based on how bad you play and gaining LP based on how good you play isn't as good of an idea as you may think. Gaining/losing LP based on your individual performance would pretty much completely change how ranked is played. In short, it would basically create situations where players would try to maximize/minimize their LP gains/losses instead of actually trying to win the game.

Riot doesn't want to do this because they don't want to incentivize trying to flame people so hard they AFK when you are losing, thus saving you LP.
