Why is it that my team has 2 afk's and the enemy team had 1, until last second. Why can't we get loss forgiven for cases like this? we even had more kills and gold than them, but couldn't win a fight just due to numbers. This has happened to me several times and I don't understand why I have to lose lp for a match like this. Honestly if anyone goes afk, and its no longer a 5v5, I think loss forgiven should just be automatic. Its just a waste of time.
Preach. I'm in silver and by no means claim to be a great player but I keep getting stuck with players who are just absolutely terrible. Just played two games in which I had 2 unranked players and 2 bronze players on my team while the other team had at least 3 silvers. What is this matchmaking? Impossible to climb out of elo hell
What you should do when that happens is have a party at baron before you surrender!

Always amuses me when people complain about unranked players in silver.
Guys, you're silver. At the very worst, they're going to play only one division below you.
Unfortunately giving loss prevented for ranked AFKs would open up the system to just a horrifying amount of abuse. Not only would you have to figure out how to balance the issue (does the winning team not get LP?) and how to deal with multiple queues protecting each other by taking turns AFKing in apparent losses, you also open the door to trolls trying to harass a teammate into quitting to save their own LP.
The thing to remember is: if YOU never disconnect, over a course of dozens or hundreds of games, AFKs will eventually start working in your favor since you have 25% more opponents than teammates, so a random disconnect is more likely to be on the enemy team.
