LP restore for afks would be so easy Riot

What I don't understand is why Riot can't give you LP back for afks. Not trolls because too many rage and report people that are just playing poorly or being outplayed by an opponent (yes people should give credit to their opponents and not just blame their team). Riot has easy records of afks. even if it took a few weeks and you got some LP back, or some compensation. Like an elo booster so you gain more LP for your next few wins to make up for the loss. It won't take away from winners if the losers had an afk, but it will stop ELO hell from ruining your win streaks and gaining less lp for games to come because of an AFK loss. THOUGHTS?

Just wait for Dynamic Queue to come back up in a few days and do 5 man premades so you don't have to worry as much until you get out of Elo hell

I still think the best way to fix this problem is to give the 4 other people loss forgiven for the match and to hit the person that dc'd with an additional 60 lp loss in addition to the normal penalties. The enemy team (the one without the afk) would be completely unaffected by anything I'm talking about here. This will discourage abuse of the system and would make the afk a lot less frustrating for the team that has it. Again, it doesn't deal with trolls or feeders, but even still, this is an easy solution that would help a lot of players out.

I don't think an LP booster or something like that is a good solution, mostly because the chances of you getting another afk when you have the booster hasn't changed and you could just end up in a snowball like situation where you never are getting compensated for the lp you lost.

But I've been talking about this solution for probably close to a year at this point, and there has been no word from Riot on how (if at all) they want to address this issue. So don't hold your breath on that one. (Don't mean to sound like I'm bashing Riot here, it wasn't really my intention to sound like that).

The only issue is, that this could be exploited if a team was losing, there would need to be a cut off with other restrictions (player dc's at the start of the game and stays gone)
