We've asked before

And can we ask again- Will Riot please do something for people who lose their promos because of an afk person? I can accept losing, but losing your promo game because your raka is left alone in lane because your jinx afks four minutes into the game and never comes back fucking sucks.

They have. You can remake.

Not if someone just afks after a few minutes of play, or after the remake window.

The point is that they have done something, so I am pointing out that your claim is false. There is a great danger of people leaving games they are loosing to trigger a remake if the system is implemented later in gameplay. People already ragequit sometimes despite the consequences.

Yea, they really should do that, make it a loss but don't lose a promo slot. for as far as I know they haven't done that for 2 reasons tho:

1: you could premade with a person and have him leave if you think if you lost lane. I have actually seen this; a guy that played with an afk and then tried to invade, if it failed he remakes. They could simply fix this by letting the player still lose promo's if a guy is afk that the player is premade with.

2: you could troll your teammates to make them want to leave. Imagine if you are losing in your promo's. If you really want to ignore this loss you can get your teammates to rage quit by being a huge ass.

Those are good points. I guess I just never try to cheat or act like a huge asshole so I didn't think it through to that extent. Still, I wish there was something to stop you from getting a 4v5 in your promos that makes you lose. I wish it was 5 matches instead of 3 tbh, then even 2 afk matches couldn't totally screw you.

I actually agree with that, I would do it like this: 0 win 3 losses(0 lp current bracket) 1 win 3 losses(25 lp current bracket) 2 win 3 losses(75 lp current bracket) 3 win 2 losses(0 lp one division up bracket)

but i would add that if you win 3 at the start you stay in promo's till you lose till the max 5 with these rules: 4 wins 1 loss=(skip one division) 5 wins=(skip a devision start with 50 lp)
