I i just wanna apologize in advance because 100% i will not have proper grammer in this whole thing im writing about afkers. Alright so i've been playing league for about 2 years now since warwick Warwick ult was point and click and ryze Ryze ult had spell vamp oh and back when yorick Yorick was cool, but throughout these whole 2 years i've played some ranked game where people yea are having a bad game they arent doing so hot with his perfectly fine BUT when you leave in the middle of a ranked game not do to something serious like a family emergency but because you're getting upset that you're feeding or your mid laner didn't follow up on your gank or you just dont wanna go through this game that you dont know if you'll 100 percent lose yet. So someone leaves like my rek'sai RekSai in my most recent ranked game because she was feeding and she ganked our tf TwistedFate mid and it didn't go well she leaves turning what could be a winnable 5v5 into a very difficult 4v5 long story short we lose that game but we also lose our LP! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! CAN WE PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I dont work for riot but if i did and i could only make one change id make it so whoever does leaves said ranked games are the ones who lose lp not the rest of the team who have to stay and suffer through its literally so unfair and so stupid its a dumb system honestly this is about the 300+ game outta my 2k over all my accounts where someone or multiple people (i have had to 2v5 before....) leave and i and the rest of my teammates lose the lp and not just the person that goes afk sure i could play master yi MasterYi every game and 1v5 and not have to worry about my team but still can we please please stop making those who stay in game have to suffer and lose lp and please only punish the ones who afk cause reporting just isn't enough riot thank you for those who read this and agree gl on the field summoners.

Maybe once we stop losing LP because of feeding teammates (never).

Guys, I found the freaking headwaters of consciousness, let alone stream of consciousness.

At any rate, imagine if you did make it so only the afker would lose LP. This would be completely abused to no end. People would queue up with each other, and they would take turns afking so only one of them would lose LP in a lost match. Sure, you could say that then everyone who partied up with them would also lose LP. But then everyone would queue up solo, and losing teams would hold a vote, and someone would likely end up taking one for the team.

This would usher in a whole new load of toxicity, as people would flame each other to no end for not being the one to take the loss. I agree, the current system is flawed, but it works. If you never afk, then the odds of an afker being on the enemy team are 5/9, or roughly 55%. Remaking the game certainly helped even this number out a ton, but it's not a perfect solution. There will always be people who troll, afk, and ruin games for everyone else. You just have to learn to accept that and move on with your life. If you really never afk or troll, then take pride in the fact that you have the moral high ground. Don't be a snob about it, but there's no shame in being a good person.
