LP Penalties for AFKs Rather than Queue Time Penalites

Dear Riot,

TL;DR Rather than make players who DC and ruin games for their teammates wait longer to queue it seems more apt a punishment to amplify their LP losses.

Having to wait an extra 5-60 minutes (I'm not even sure what the max time penalty is) is annoying, but doesn't prevent players from DCing every game in which they get first blooded. Any player can watch a Twitch stream or Netflix episode during their extended queue time, but all of them want to climb the ladder. Increasing LP loss for players that are not connected when a game ends would be a more meaningful penalty for DCing and possibly help keep them out of higher divisions.

Cheers, Grokkafeller

They wont do that since it would work in favor of trollers who doesnt care about winning, or the smurfs who intent afk to lose elo. The low prio is fair since it prevents the person from playing for a while and the troller from continuosly trolling.
