Can I get my LP back?

I think Riot should look in depth at games that have players who disconnect or troll/int. I'm not saying they should look at every game, only the extreme ones, like the games where teams are winning but then someone disconnects or starts trolling and throws the game. It's not fair to anyone else because 4v5s are not fair at all, and you have no control over what your team decides to do. If someone on your team's computer crashes, you can't do anything about that. And even if you were ahead, now it's a 4v5 and the game is most likely lost. It makes no sense how I can lose LP for stuff like this because it's completely out of my control. If I'm in a game where we're down 20 kills and someone rage quits, then I don't give a shit because we're going to lose anyways. But if I'm winning a game and someone throws it, then what am I going to do about that? They give LP back if their servers have something wrong with them and people are in a ranked game. And that's a more extreme case, but there's still nothing anyone can do about it at the time that it happens. Make games like this a loss prevention, but the other players can keep their win. There's nothing wrong with that, is there? Riot... you have the most played game in the world. Please do something about this. I'm tired of losing LP because of things I can't control.

TL;DR: Riot should give back LP if you're winning a game and someone on your team disconnects or throws

I mean, they have a report system, so how is that any different? Actually, more people report for toxicity rather than afk and troll/int, and Riot looks in depth at people who have a lot of reports, so why does that make a difference?

The report system is handeled by a automated bot. They dont look indepth at people with more reports. One report does the same as 9. Its triggers a review by the IFS the instant feedback system (the fancy name for the bot).

No.

I think what this irredeemably succinct conversationalist (dude, seriously, in what way did you think just saying "no" adds to the conversation?) tries to say is that such a policy would be exploitable as it would allow a team to have 1 guy quit when the game is about to turn around in the other team's favor and negate the lp loss, that seems to be coming.

No is a valid response to that question. I don't believe riot should give back any LP for a throw at all. The dc player should suffer more for leaving but besides that I agree with the above you should not get back lp.

No system gives you rank points back.

Overwatch doesn't. (SR) Starcraft doesn't (SR) World of Warcraft doesn't (MMR) Heroes and Smite don't. (TP/SR)

Why should league do it?

That wasn't a question and simply saying "no" without any arguments takes the conversation nowhere, so no, posting a simple disagreement without an attempt to inform the op or debate them is a completely superfluous waste of time and even the minimal effort that goes into it. "No" in itself is an appropriate answer to yes or no questions, but not much else.

As I made it clear, I don't think lp should be refunded either.

That is completely irrelevant to the conversation without going into the details.

Why are you asking me?
