Just got a game where my top laner went AFK 10 minutes in. My loss prevention was +8 out of the -20 LP. Curious as to why loss prevention can’t just negate the entire thing? It should basically be the same thing as a remake but let the other team keep their well deserved LP.
One explanation I’ve heard is that this may cause LP inflation. But if we think critically about it for a moment, AFK games are too rare to see any significant LP inflation. It wouldn’t change the punishment for the AFKer either so we wouldn’t see a spike in AFKs.
If those games are rare as you say. Why do you care that you lost 12 LP? If you are climbing those 12 LP won’t matter. Same reason people dodge lobbies, the LP don’t matter that much.
