AFK losses should not be counted against us.

I am getting tired of losing a game because someone on my team afks either by rage quit or disconnecting. I'm asking that a way be created to rid ourselves of those losses counting against you. I hope Riot could work on this or are attempting this. I don't know all about the coding or the gravity of this request however I would enjoy an answer to help settle my worries.

I realize that some people may try to exploit the system by leaving a game so it doesn't count against the other team members. However easy solution. Making the punishment more immediate in leaving the game. Please let me know and if anyone has anything to add please feel free.

Only problem with this is people will exploit this to prevent losses. As good as it sounds, there would have to be some solid way to minimize this like a suspension or something.

The downside is that people may troll, insult, or belittle their teammates to encourage them to AFK and prevent the loss. It is a soft encouragement to toxic behavior.

Why should the other team be punished because your team AFKs?

I don't think that it should not be counted as a loss, because your team did lose. I would say though that in ranked, you should lose less LP if someone AFK's and the winning team would still get the full LP gain.
