1 player decides to AFK/RQ so 4 players have to lose LP. Seems fair.

I will never fucking understand why am I being punished if a players dc's or rq's. I just lost another fucking series because my adc just dced midway in the game, and we were winning it. You can imagine how salty I am. And it happened so much last few days, one time it was a 3v5 too, and guess what, - 13 LP. Why ? Because I can't win a 3v5 ? Ofc I can't. 7 seasons of this game and you still get punished because 1 player went AFK. Unbelieveable. I'm in promos for d4 and that's my highest elo I ever got and it would be fucking nice if my series wouldn't be decided on who AFK's, plez ty. And if someone says premades would abuse the system in which you don't lose LP if someone AFK's.. enlighten me please, why would a player in a duo group willingly lose LP and get 20 mins x 5 queue's. If that's not enough, you can make the penalty bigger or some shit. It's just crazy to me that 7 seasons of the most popular game in the world and there's no solution for such a common problem, which from what I see, other games have made a long time ago.

You are diamant 4 and you lose 13 lp, why would you even get mad about it? I am in my dia 4 promos right now, people that go afk in this game help you overall to climb.

If you are always playing without going afk your team has a potential of 4 player which could have an afk player. The enemy team has 5 spaces for a potential afk player.

On the other side, the biggest issue with the idea you come up with is this one:

malphite 2/0/3 reksai 3/1/2 ahri 4/0/5 ezreal 1/9/5 janna 0/2/8

Can you imagine if this team is going to lose and there is always kind of salt in league that some people would start to verbaly bash that ezreal into ground till he leaves the game since the obvious "problem" in this team and the "reason" they lose it is the adc? This would give some overall toxic players a reason to bully a single target which didn't play good to leave so they won't lose lp.

This is a team game, and your post is the reason I hate team games ahaha

On the plus side, dude you only lost 13 lp......... it's not like it's 25.

There's no way to fix that. Players would abuse it by forcing someone on their team to leave when it is clear they are losing the game so the other 4 do not receive an LP penalty.
