LP Loss Needs to Be Halved if an AFK or Leaver is Detected In-Game

I'm sick of trying to play through my ranked games and getting stuck with randoms that just want to give up at 10 minutes because they played a lane bad and tilt themselves off the face of the Earth then decide to afk. I shouldn't be punished for another players lack of motivation to even finish the game they queued up for just to hand me and the rest of their teammates a free loss and -20LP after they decided they didn't want to play anymore. It's so frustrating it makes me want to stop playing this game altogether even though I love it when it's good. They fun/not fun split isn't even close to even at this point and that bothers me.

P.S. Stop saying "gg ez." It's unsportsmanlike, childish, and makes you look like an ass.

This topic comes up frequently and the answer remains the same. A system that reduces the penalties or negates them for a lose due to an afk/leaver would be abused. People may afk on a smurf account with the buddy to reduce damage to their lp. Someone may harass another into leaving.

It's an inherent problem of 5v5. Any attempt to control it will lead to abuse and inflate the ranks.
