DEVS Please read, suggestion here about AFK

So my thoughts are that at least 1 in 10 games i have include an AFK on either team. I feel like this messes with peoples outlook on the game, their attitude, and obviously winrate.

Suggestion: At the end of the game when a player is highlighted in RED meaning the game actually flagged them AFK, can the game turn into a loss prevention type of status? Im not talking like full LP refund. Maybe like half LP for both teams, to make it less punishing, and less rewarding for both sides?

Any thoughts or improvements?

No. Deal with it.

What's your recommendation on preventing people from abusing a team mate trying to guilt them into AFK'ing?
Does the person that AFK'd get that lightened penalty also, which would incent people to AFK in a perceived losing effort? Your system suggest reducing LP gains for the team that didn't have the AFK?
