I think that giving less lp loss for defeat when a team have an afk player would be more fair. Also, if this team win i think they should be able to gain more lp. Another idea, losing a game with afk players shouldnt count for demotion.
Rustling Bush1 votesit would be abused, even if you set an arbitrary time limit on how long a person must be afk for, the closet solution that i can think of is the remake system.
Th3 Rift Hero1 votesa problem with remake is that sometimes the others players dont wanna remake and also some players are afk after the remake time count
Th3 Rift Hero1 votesand also the afk player may have the full lp loss for is behavior
Ad Vitam Aeterna1 votesIt'd be abused easy. I'd use a smurf with my friend and anytime the game looked like a sure loss I'd afk so my friend would lose less LP.
Decimús2 votesAnd how about they made AFK player lose double the amount of LP , if at 0 he gets demotion and if in promo automatic X or fail promo all together ?
Th3 Rift Hero1 votesI like this idea :)
Zezockary1 votesIt is just a smurf account, why would anyone care how far they get demoted?
Ad Vitam Aeterna1 votesLol, why would we care about that on our smurfs? As long as we stay within duo limits of our friend we'd have a breeze boosting him/her.
dkw1 votesSimple, just make it so that if people duo together and one AFK the entire party gets punished.
The abuse you mention is Riot's excuse since S3 or so to not implement such a system, but punishing the entire party fixes that problem. Other abuse they mention is that premades would bully someone into quitting. Don't see who in their right mind would actually leave the game, lose double the LPs, and get flagged by leaverbuster when they can just type /mute all.
Th3 Rift Hero1 votesStill, not everyone has smurf and i think it would still be better
