AFK TEAMMATES

Having an afk teammate in ranked is terrible. My idea is if a teammate goes afk in the middle of the game everyone who isn't afk should be given less of a punishment if they lose. Like losing 3 lp, like how when you dodge you lose 3 lp as well.

This initially sounds good, but it would incentivize "convincing" someone to go AFK.

And you'd also have to deal with LP inflation sending everyone up into challenger, or you'd have to deal with opponents going AFK to screw you out of winning LP.

Only if you WIN 3 lp to compensate. Are you okay with winning 3 lp because someone take one for the team or want to screw the enemy team by going afk?

  1. You cannot let one team win lose 3 LP and have the other team win full LP
  2. If you want the afk to lose more LP, that will not happen because legitimate afk is a real thing (family emergency, power loss, internet loss, etc.)
