The AFKing is a problem

Okay, something needs to be done to those players that just come in and sit at fountain and stay level 1 the whole game. I have entered I want to say 8-10 ranked games since yesterday and all of them have been losses due to an afk player on my team. This is absolutely ridiculous. Why should I or anyone else on my team that participates suffer that actually do decent or great in the match. Our LP should not be affected that way. It's unfair and essentially makes this game a complete waste of time. I shouldn't have to spend my time having to earn back LP that was wrongfully taken from me...Some for others. Something needs to be done...I can understand 1 or 2 games, anything more than that has to be on the owners of the game. I went from Bronze 1 at 97 LP all the way to Bronze 2 at 42 LP. Some of you may say well get out of Bronze, well this is what makes it nearly impossible and it puts us good players at a disadvantage. I honestly wouldn't be complaining if this happend maybe 2 games in a row...but this has been a constant thing for like 10 games now. I like a challenge, but this is ridiculous man.

I apologize for the rant, but this is so very frustrating.

all i have learned is to have it so you build up a small group to play with, ones that lower the chance of afks/trolls/toxic people in general, and on top of that the benefits of teaming up and queuing. I know some have the "LONE WOLF" solo queue complex, but is that worth the problems they face vs the alternative?

I mean i am silver 4 as of now :/ and idk how you fit to the roles, but i would be happy to do a couple games, i have a few friends that I game with to cut down on trolls and have a good time, bronze 1 & 2's and we usually play a ranked match or two ~ 6ish EST every day. And hell gone through the teaching new thing a bunch with friends so if any help is needed, would be happy to pass along anything i can to help :)
