Can someone explain what Riot does about players intentionally letting the enemy team win in ranked?

I'm not talking about when the whole team agrees to open, I'm talking about ragequitting, afk farming, and afk flaming.

I've seen a bit of this personally and a LOT of this in youtube.

A good example of this are the countless times Hashinshin has sat in base flaming his jungler leaving his team to loose 4v5. I've also seen ppl afk farming in lanes and jungle while the enemy team is in their base.

If you build item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 and run it down mid you will get 2 week banned automatically, or permabanned. So why isn't this cracked down on as harshly when it has the exact same effect: ruining the game for your team.

Leaverbuster is somewhat lenient because sometimes ppl have no choice but to leave even if they are being responsible, but it's a totally different case when someone sits in spawn flaming. In that case it's 100% clear that they are afk-ing to inteintonally ruin the game for their team, so why isn't it treated in the same way inting is?

Ban the people that flame the people who lose the games on purpose.

The current solution is to punish anyone who openly/verbally takes issue with these kinds of players. If you want to play this game you are forced to shut your mouth, "mute them", and let them ruin your games. Probably because they make up such a large percentage of the player base that if they all got banned there would be 10 min q times.

Because if you believe there's potential for a miraculous comeback and I do not, leave me out of it and I'll witness it in action or we lose faster. Win-win.

Nothing at all. You can't distinguish sitting in fountain and typing from just having a bad game, apparently.
