Impossible to climb due to AFK's

Ranked is no longer fun. It feels like the most impossible task to win a game now because no matter how hard i try its usually for nothing. Winning lane means nothing when your adc decides to quit after dying once, or your jung gives up after one bad gank and starts power farming till you lose. Or a support hard engages every time she spawns even when shes without her team. I will win a game due to myself and duo carrying but it doesnt matter becasue ill lose the next 2 games because someone rage quits or starts trolling. I SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED WITH A LOSS BECAUSE SOME DUMBASS QUITS. I am now losing 18 -20 lp on a loss and gaining +14 lp on a win because my stats are all messed up because of this. Heres a possible fix; If you are in a duo and one of the 2 quits, punish those 2 with a loss. That way if one guy starts throwing a fit his duo will probably try harder to keep him playing. if you are solo then only punish the solo who left with a loss. That way no one has to face the consequences of one guy leaving.

PLEASE!!! everyone leave your opinion or stories of this garbage on here so it gets attention. Something has to be done to stop this or league will die.

The number of games impacted by AFKs will never be enough to affect your long-term gains or losses, especially considering that the enemy team has an even greater chance of an AFK considering you aren't on the enemy team (4/5 vs 5/5).

If you aren't climbing in the long-term, you need to adjust what you're doing. Those one or two instances of at most 20 LP losses is not holding you back. Remember - the system places you where you are "supposed to be" in MMR, where you're winning and losing 50% of the matches. If you aren't getting that win rate even slightly above 50%, then you need to adjust what you're doing. Right now your win rate over 500 games or so this season is 49%. You're Gold 4, which is pretty damn good imo.

Nasus, Yasuo, and Wukong are your (very much) above 50% win rate champions. Admittedly, the sample size on Yas and Wukong are at less than 20 games each, but you're winning almost 70% of the time with them. Your Nasus is a proven winner - 57% over 150 games. Keep playing Nasus.

Do not play Twisted Fate, Tryndamere, Nidalee, or Fiora in ranked unless you improve with them. You're only winning 40-45% of the time with them. You will not climb with these champions.

I know it can be boring to play the same champions, but if climbing is your goal in ranked, it's OK to be a little bored. Play Nasus in ranked, play the others in norms.

And nobody ever leaves the game on your opponents’ team?

What now you're complaining about the LP gains also? I feel sorry for you. Do you approach everything in life like this? Complain and blame everything else for your challenges? I hope not ...

Simple fact you keep ignoring: If there are trolls/afk's in the game, they are going to be on both teams. Figure out how to stay cool and you have an advantage over all of them.
