Stop being greedy, Riot, and fix LP loss for losing due to an afk.

This game is in its 6th season and you still give people a loss and LP loss due to an afk on your team if you lose the game. Why is this still a thing? You make it impossible to keep wanting to play this game if all that has to happen in a game is someone walk away from their damn keyboard. If theirs an afk just adjust to 0 LP gain/loss and 0 promotion wins/losses. It's that mutha fuckin simple. No one wins, no one loses, no one has to get hurt. Fix this Riot, just do it.

They haven't fixed it because there's no easy way to fix it in a way for an automated system to differentiate abuse cases from legitimate ones. What criteria would flag someone legitimately going afk and yet not flag someone afk'ing to force the auto-compensation? When you introduce a compensation mechanic, it needs to be very difficult to abuse or else you'll get people forcing it on purpose to mitigate losses.

Because if you knew you were going to lose, someone could just leave on purpose, and not count as a loss for the other 4. Wouldn't work.

Obviously, this is a new idea to you people. I see your points, but we can't just shutdown this case and then leave it for dead. This is a real problem and it needs to be solved. I'm sure if riot actually put time and effort into this case they might actually come up with some sort of solution, because its not my job to find it. All I am doing is trying to raise the concern so that they might do something about it.
