Give me a reason to not afk in this match

(Moved here because apparently Gameplay isn't the right place for this)

My bot lane flame each other, Xayah drops the "kys" and leaves, lux flaming, vi flaming, getting beaten up by a tank who outdamages me then ganked my a skarner.

Why should I stay in this game? I know that Xayah won't be punished. I know that Nami won't be punished. I know the Lux won't be punished. I know the Vi won't be punished. I'm safe to assume I won't be punished either.

Give me one reason, anyone, one reason why I shouldn't leave this game, and go play something else?

Because your assumptions about no punishments is wrong.

Its actually very likely that the Xayah would be punished if he did say "kys". The only real reason to not afk though is to avoid the Leaverbuster.

If you've had multiple leaver buster LPQ's, then you can be subject to harsher penalties.

So if you're not in the middle of a 20LPQ or shortly after one, then you don't have to worry about a ban from leaving a game.

Most cases, "kys" is pretty severely punished.

They can't get punished if no one reports them. If you quit you forfeit your opportunity and your right to report them.

Going AFK in a game with players breaking the summoner's code only enables them to continue doing it without being reported.

Game is dying, get out while you can! Riot refuses to acknowledge they made a mistake with stopwatch and won't change it. Everyone has a piss poor attitude cause you can't kill anyone anymore or if you try you get outplayed by a free item. I imagine that the free 1 charge Guardian Angel is next.

Because you could get leaverbustered and or put on low priority queue.

There are literally no reasons, go and play something else :D

Are you suffering from the "I don't believe the system works" syndrome?

If so, what you need is this.

Because you actually will be punished, and if they are using that sort of language, so will they.

The reason you shouldn't leave the game? Because it's against the rules to AFK and you will end up with LeaverBuster at least. Who wants to spend all that time staring at that popup box when you try to queue up? As for reports not working, got me there. They don't always work, and they don't always work right away. Again though, that LeaverBuster, low priority queue works just fine.
