Early game leavers (Free lose of LP)

I understand that this game contains a feature that allows you to remake your team if someone disconnected or was unable to connect at the beginning of the game.

However, this "remake" is only available before first blood so if anyone leaves after the game, nothing can be done to save the others from there free lose.

Something needs to be put in the place to prevent the lose of LP if someone was to leave Before the 3-5 minute mark and DC for more than 3 minutes.

The link I've placed on this post is one of my recent games where I had my Lee Sin DC very early into the game but due to an early first blood, we was unable to remake. This lead to us inevitably losing the game due to uneven teams and lose of objectives like drakes and rift herald.

There's a system for these problems what works well in DoTA and people asked something similar and that lead finally to this early remake option, afaik. That system works like, if somebody leaves a match and stays DC for a long enough time, the match doesn't matter anymore, anybody can freely leave or finish the match just for fun - no consequencies (no changes in ranks). Of course the first leaver still gets a tough punishment. Riot's arguement against this was that it could be expoited, continuously leaving the bad matches. I can't really agree on that as it depends on the way and harshness of the punishment etc. Sure, you can't permaban somebody with a bad connection, but - for example - if somebody leaves and doesn't try to reconnect in 10 minutes, then a. something serious happened in RL and he won't come back in long hours if not more anyways b. he just tries to dodge - so, making him unable to join games for the next couple of hours could work. Or there are many other options and ideas... But as there was a discussion about it back then what lead to the current remake system, I think it is very unlikely that Riot will change their minds.

And tbh none of these systems would solve everything as I'm sure you see those AFKs regulary who move a bit or cast an ability once in a while just to avoid AFK detection but otherwise stay perfectly passive. What about them?

Something needs to be done, I've been sitting in que, doing champ select, then getting remakes for the past 3 games/30 minutes. It's a joke. Start temporarily banning people.
