I only recently started playing this game but I have yet to win a match.

Actually, I have yet to be in a match in which I did not have someone on my team who was AFK.

Two games in a row there was the same AFK person. Wasn't even there at champion select. He was assigned a random person and the game started anyway. Why would the game start when someone is AFK?

Heh, sounds like something I'd hear on a world of warcraft forum. But I refuse to believe any company but Blizzard Designs things to be broken.
