How to minimize the impact of afk on rank

Hi guys,

So I queued into a ranked game and I find myself with 2 afk from the start so i said goodbye to that hard gained LP (despite a good start we had to the lane ;( ). So I started think it got to be a better way then just hoping all the afk's get banned right :), so I came up with this ideia:

-Reduced LP lost for that afk teammates ( like 4-7 LP)

-Increased LP lost for the person afk (like 25-35 LP), taking into count if the afk had an impact in the game (like the time he was afk), (over 7.5 min /10min) and the player could send riot support an email if was the server problem or something like that (of course these cannot be abused if you cannot comprove that it was a server problem the LP lost will be carried through (for the first time) note that the other teammates still get reduce lp lost in these situation) (the LP lost aply even if you experience connection problem (your internet fault, I think riot should when you press to queue to rank warn you to test your connection in a costume game) since it your responsibility to see if you have good enough internet :) )

And since playing with an Afk is stressful af and not enjoyable you get a little extra for winning:

-Increased LP gained if you win a 4vs5, 3vs5 (whatever is the case) btw these is literally speaking like (+ 5-10 LP gained)

-If you are the afk player in these winning team you still get penalize (if you are over 7.5 min/10 min afk, or a relevant percentage the game afk xP) you get smaller lp lost (like 10 -17 LP) to counter balance the extra LP gained by your teammates

Tell me what you guys think :) Upvote if you like maybe it get a rioter atention XP

Ok I did a mistake there i mean the first time Riot should take the word of the player (or still see if was a server issues I don't know how that works) and after the first time the player should prove or try to prove that it was a server issues or a bug :)

You want to award the team with 5 even more for winning a game that was sealed in the first second of the match? Why?

AFKs already have minimal impact on your rank because individual games have very little impact on your game. AFKs also happen on both sides and you were going to lose close to half of those games anyway. If they are gonna do anything about LP in AFK matches it should be give and take 0 from both teams. The biggest impacts of AFKs are on players enjoyment. One of the biggest things I would like to see added to the game is either games that have someone not connect by 5 minutes just end and/or the ability to leave after someone has already left. Even if it still counts as a loss.
