RIOT doesn't understand how to handle AFK and poor player behavior.

REAL LIFE trumps the game. Period. If someone knocks at my door, I'm going afk. Sorry. The fact that riot literally punishes its customers is shit business, period. Wanna know how I know? I'm never paying another cent ever. That's how I know. The only thing you had to do was add flags, and just put the people with a lot of 'offenses' in the same league. If you get flagged for cussing you just get grouped with cussers. You go afk a LOT. you get grouped with other afkers. GET IT? There are LOTS of better games out there, and since I'm being forced to wait for fifteen minutes, I might as well go play something else. PS. You have HUGE holes in your math that make the game a fucking joke. It's not even funny.summoner 4 PPS. The first time I played ARAM I never played normal again. How come?

You're absolutely correct. Please record your real life activity in a log book and video, and when you are interrupted and receive an in-game penalty please submit this record to Riot in a Support Ticket. Riot will be able to review your actions and determine if it was reasonable for you leave the match, and removed your penalties if it was. Since this could take a couple years to review due to the massive size of the player population and the time required to review it with Riot's limited staff, please be patient and play solo/offline games only in the meantime.

I am sorry but if you got punished then you went afk way more then once and for way longer then it takes to open the door. Also, about "there are better games out there" if you think so, why are you playing league?

Punishing AFKs is not saying that league is more important than life. It is saying that 1 person's life isn't more important than everyone else's. When you AFK you waste 9 other people's time. Presumably, you wouldn't want them to waste your time. If AFKing was allowed then you would rarely ever be able to finish a game.
