Losing LP to AFK's

ChromaCaster··3 votes·697 views

When are we going to stop losing LP everytime someone decides to AFK? Its getting close to 2-3 times a day in ranked matches and its sooooo unfair that im spending hours trying to rank up only to be kicked back down because of someone else not wanting to play, bug splat, internet, etc etc..

Unless you are causing people to leave, or leaving games yourself, there will always be more AFKs on the other team than yours. Thus in the long run, you are GAINING LP from AFKs.

I agree have had alot of rage quitting shitters in my games. But good thing they cant call me names. Id rather lose the game and have to jack off for 20 min just as long as he doesnt hurt my feels #riotlogic

And those players would get caught by LeaverBuster. So they may temporarily avoid losing LP, at the risk of much harsher consequences. Meanwhile the legitimate players getting stuck with an AFK wouldn't be punished for something beyond their control.

What harsher consequences would that be, though? The last time I heard someone being punished for disconnecting is a 20-minute wait time at worst, and if that's all it'd cost to save lp loss of 4 other players then that's a steal. A 5-men premade can just take turn doing that and they won't be punished for individual consecutive disconnections .
