More action needs to be taken against players for going afk and the ranked ladder is broken.

In two of my last five games I've had 3 people go afk causing my to lose a significant amount of LP and your ranked ladder system is broken. My first issue came yesterday, I was playing as Rammus. In my second game as Rammus, I had 2 players on my team that were afk the entire game. My mid laner reconnected, but it was entirely too late. I lost 17 LP from it. My game today, as Jax, my Jinx disconnected about 7 minutes or so into the game. I lost 17 more LP. How do you guys expect players to climb? Even your low elo players struggle to climb when we lose more LP for a loss than we gain LP for a win. My win rate is currently just under 50%. I can get it back to 50% and I can even get it a little over, however, having so much lp lost vs what you gain, causes the ladder to be extremely difficult to climb. I understand there are things I can improve and I'm not saying I need to be way higher than what I am, but I do think I should be in Silver 2 or at least Silver 1. More actions need to be taken to punish players for disconnecting in the game. A suggestion I have actually comes from Mobile Legends, where they use a credit system for their matches. Players are rewarded for maintaining a higher credit score than others. I feel if you implement it, force an in game score of 300 out of 500 for ranked games and reward players who maintain it. Punish, keep players from ranked games who fall below the 300 mark. I just feel it would greatly improve the community overall. Still maintaining chat restrictions would be great as well.

I'm not sure if you know how this works, but if you're losing more LP than you're gaining, it means you are not playing at the level of your current MMR, and the system is going to put you where you need to be in order to get that closer to 50%. You've lost 9 out of your 12 last games, you are absolutely going to fall in rank like that. AFKs and idiots aside, you need to adjust what you're doing because you're losing a ton of games that have nothing to do with people disconnecting.

Here's one HUGE thing I noticed - so many of your games end before 30 minutes. DO NOT SURRENDER RANKED GAMES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EVEN IF YOU HAVE AN AFK. Play it out, teams are very, very good at throwing games. You don't have to be good at League to win, you have to be less bad than your opponents.

If youre losing more a loss than you gain for a win, your MMR is so low that youre actually above the standard for that MMR. You arent meant to be where youre at. You've performed as a bronze 4 for so long, than when youre silver 4, the game thinks you dont deserve it, and is gonna make it harder for you to climb anymore, unless you just prove it wrong consistently for enough time, until your MMR increases.

Legit just had a game earlier where two of the enemy team just leaves, honestly their Jinx and Naut deserved the win, they were making the 3v5 a pain to close out but we just won through attrition and a split pushing Trynd
