Should the Team that had an AFK in their team Lose LP?

We've all been there, time and time again. There's been 7 seasons.. Granted everyone has DC'd at least once in their lives. But I personally believe that if there's a ranked game the enemy team or ally team should not lose LP because one, two, three person(s) deciding to DC or AFK because they were "tilted". Granted this is the game. But its so annoying when you're trying to gain LP, but that ONE person ruins it for everyone and forces a surrender vote. Granted maybe we wouldn't have won that game in the first place, but there was a higher chance that we could have. What I'm trying to say Riot, is that it's such BS that i have to lose LP because someone's computer on my team can't run the game. Whats the point of playing ranked if this happens so frequently.

yes. otherwise assholes will try to pressure teammates to go afk in a loss. or nice people will feel bad about having a bad game and go afk to save their team.

neither one is something riot wants to see.

Giving up a losing game is silly. I've seen people try to surrender a billion times and then suddenly we are late game or win, or they make one wrong move and we suddenly are in their base killing the nexus! It's not over till the fat lady sings people!

Unless we also do not lose LP for our botlane going 0/20, then yes.

people will leave and try to negate lossing lp, aswell as just afk to troll saying "its not hurting anyone"

At the end of the day, all you're losing is 20~ LP. Sure, an AFK feels pretty bad, but who really cares? You win some, you lose some.

All Riot would have to do is deter people who would AFK to try to abuse the system by making AFKing so punishable that you would have to provide a service status from your ISP or a Medical Certificate (i.e. you were rushed to hospital and had to leave the game) to prove that the AFK was out of your control.

idk what that punishment would be - that would be up to Riot. If it were up to me Trolls and AFKs would lose LP on behalf of their team (in other words, whatever the AFK would lose for that game is multiplied by 5).

Unfortunately, if you could not lose lp for an AFk, every time a team is losing someone would just AFK to prevent lp loss.
