League Points in regards to Disconnects/4v5's

Riot,

I have to say that I am very disappointed in the LP system when it comes to someone on my team disconnecting. I have noticed that at the game recap screen any player that disconnected or never connected to begin with have their names in read. I cannot count the number of times I have lost LP because of someone either disconnecting/rage quitting, or never connecting to begin with. I realize that this is a team game and that is how it should be played, BUT a team should not be penalized for losing a game that they had no chance of winning because someone didnt connect or decided to leave. I realize that its not easy to change a system once it is in place, but I firmly believe that if, one the game recap screen, the losing team has someone with their name in red; they should not lose LP. I love this game and have had many enjoyable hours with my friend's playing it. But leavers and people never connecting have caused me and I am sure countless others to be demoted when we have worked hard to get to the point we were at. I really hope you can do something to fix this... It would make everyone enjoy ranked much more.

Regards and Fanboyish behavior, VashTheUberNinja

Hallelujah!! Might be in the wrong section but this issue affects many people especially at lower elos. I literally fell from top of silver to silver two with a least four losses due to afk or leavers.

If your team is losing, just have a team member DC intentionally to avoid the LP loss. Just rotate who does it so the reports are spread out and no one goes to tribunal.

This is the down side of that.

Well, I'll start by saying I am a noob from wood league 8. Now that I've established my position,I would like to give you my 5 cents on this issue. Most d/c from unranked games around my level occur in the beginning of the game. And it usually can be predicted who will d/c based on the loading screen. So my thought (just an opinion) is why not let the system terminate the game if the system senses one of the summoner is not loading? (Maybe it's different in ranked games, or the system cannot work that way, I'm not an expert)

Thank this was my first time posting, I apologize for my grammar in advance, please don't hurt me :(

I believe something does indeed need to be done about the leavers in ranked games and the amount of LP lost from said games (assuming most, if not all, are losses). If someone doesn't ever connect/goes afk for longer than a set time, reporting only does so much. There would have to be limitations on LP lost from these games. I think there should still be a small decrease in LP from the losing team, otherwise there would be a lot of stagnancy in lower tiers where people would be continuously losing with leavers and never moving downward (while it sucks, it would still need to happen).
