So all of us have lost and won LP because the afks,so i was wondering why does the LP rewording system is so "plane and simpl". Why does it matter the win or lose espessialy when its not always in your hand? Why should every individual player has to lose LP when they have to 4v5 all game cause you cant remake mid or even early game? Why isnt the LP system colaborates with the individual grade you get after the game? For exaple: i have the afk on my team and i get an S or an A,even thou i will lose most likely i wont lose 18/20 lp but something more loke 12/14 Why should i even try to do my best even if i am gonna lose anyways for nothing?

Because then you end up with people not contributing as much to preserve their grade.

It already sort of varies on your mmr. While in Silver 3 i Lost a game and would lose like 7 lp. Even after I was on a small lost streak. Winning a game gave me 30 lp. Now in silver 1 I get 25 for win and lose 16.

So why should you still try? To keep the mmr up.

It's a good idea. Having an AFK puts the game in an overwhelming disadvantage. Rito had 8 seasons to do this yet they still think AFK is a part of ranked match :/

This has been suggested many times and debunked every time it's been brought up. Fact of the matter, giving LP based on grade would encourage selfish plays and be unhealthy for the game as a whole:

Let's look at a few examples:

1.) Lucian's team is doing great and clearly winning the game. Lucian could group now and probably end it but Lucian also knows that he doesn't have the CS to get a good grade because of how quickly his team has been taking turrets. Lucian proceeds to farm side lanes for the next 15 minutes boosting his CS to 300+ getting him an S- but causing his team to lose the game.

2.) Amumu has been farming the jungle and managing to outplay the Lee all game even though Lee is clearly the stronger early game jungler. The opposing team is full of burst damage and they have no tank. It's still mid game, Amumu knows that if he engages and lands a good ult he may die but his team will definitely clean up the fight, become fed and use their advantage to carry the game. Amumu chooses not to engage as him dying would only lower his grade and his team being fed plays no impact on him getting a high grade. He instead chooses to go full AP and only burst when he sees someone alone.
