Afk and frequent leaver balance

Without creating a prisoner's island, what if we had matchmaking pair a frequent afker against another frequent afker. So 4 people that almost never afk on each team, and finally that one guy that seems to always disconnect or whatever on both teams? Yea, no? Tell me why this won't work so I can come up with more than the base idea. Thanks guys. I also figured this should be in player behavior since afking is a behavior.

by doing this you throw innocent people into prisoners island... afks shouldn't be in game to begin with

I've seen Heroes of The Storm do this (and before you say anything) it doesn't work all too well. In the end, you do get to look at your skin collection while you queue, but the actual queue time can be very inconsistent (you won't find a completely afk-er game anytime soon), and the required games can affect it in either a negative or positive light. My point is that this system can be really polarizing.
