AFK From Start

So if you have someone afked form the start of the game on your team for upwards of 10 minutes or more it can be one of 2 things right? Either the persons connection is so bad that they didn't load or couldn't play, basically making them useless for the rest of the game since there is no real way you can fix your connection if its so bad you can't move or join; OR you got someone you, for some unknown reason, queued up for a game, accepted queue, chose character and runes and everything, then just left while game was loading and didn't come back, making it so you have someone who just through from the start, but at least if you play well and are lucky you can comeback form that or at least have a close game, right? The problem is, while one is involuntary and one is completely by choice and blatant, they both ruin the experience for the team mates that were forced to play with them, especially when, more often then not, the person who is afked for 10-15 minutes is queued with at least one other person that just says "they will be back" and refuses the remake request. It is so frustrating to deal with, and even if it is their connection, even while thinking that they can't help it, you still just feel disappointed and angry that you are stuck in this situation because of someone else's choices or circumstances.

Is there anything we can do about this? It happens so often that I almost want to call for harsh punishments for players who do not participate (could be checked through total clicks, map movement, CS or some other stat that is already tracked) in the early 10-ish minutes of the game, whether it is ping related or just them being rude to the rest of their team, but I know that is unfair to the ping players who can;t control the bad internet. Even so it still feels like something has to be done about it across all game modes (normal, TT, ARAM), especially ranked games.
