I have an idea for people who have afks

WE all have those games where you or the enemy team have an afk and they lose because of this. And im not saying take the win from the team who won but make it so the losing team does not lose LP because of an afk. Give the winning team the lp for there win but dont punish people for something an afker did. Its just a thought i know this could be abused some way some how but i feel like there could be something done. Like if the afker is someone on your friends list that can be show you are trying to cheat the system and not lose LP.

So winner gets LP against team with afk, but team with AFK doesnt lose LP? How is that fair or balanced?

Because the people who won still won but the people who lost because of one player leaving they dont get hurt.

So what would stop people from going afk so their team doesnt lose LP? Everyone will be able to climb easily just by abusing system.

the person who left would get the loss of LP the 4 others that got hurt by the afk would not lose. And a random person does not leave a game because the 4 other random people will lose LP like i said if you que with the person normally or they are on your list and then you lose the LP

Losing 4x LP would be unfair to person that got dced/lost power. And it would be hard to prove that person quit so team wouldnt lose LP. There is also smurfs. For example i queue with friend who wants to climb with my smurf, if games goes bad i go afk/leave. Sure i will take low priority queue, but my friend wouldnt lose LP. Too many ways to abuse, you are 1000000 person who suggested this and Riot always gave same response, never gonna be added as it can be abused.

like i said if you que with someone then you invite them. to invite them they need to be on your friends list and like i said if they are on your friends list they are prop trying to save there friends LP. and for that the person will still lose the LP and maybe ad a ban to that to keep people from doing that.

Even if only limited to strangers, the team would still be encouraged to pick someone out and try to harass them into leaving to prevent the rest of the teams LP loss.

That rarely happens the idea is really for the people who never connect or just close there client. If someone is sittibg in base at 30 mins in they can look at the chat.

That rarely happens ...

Well yea... because there is currently no benefit associated with it. Adding LP loss prevention to a leaver game adds a benefit that would change how frequently this happens.

Yes give the lp loss to the afker dont punish the people who are effected is my idea a 100% full proof system no. No system is but its a start to something that should already be in the game with its siZE

How is being penalized for a random afk player trolling/griefing/feeding on your own team fair? They already do this for when they have server issues and random dc's.

Because statistically in long run u will have more games against teams with afk players than u would have afkers in your team. Also if u are decent player enough u will gain more LP than u lose, so current system goes in your favor.
