There's a post a couple of boxes down describing a possible policy for determining what role a champion was playing in a given game.

As far as it being unfair, though, you just sort of contradicted yourself: you first say that it's unfair that ADC and solo lanes get more recognition, but then you go on to say that removing that unfairness via weighting is unfair.

Who would do it? Riot. I mean, they're the only ones that can, no? As to people simply not using it... well, there's that. There's the option of exempting players that don't vote from candidacy (which is fair because not voting while everyone else does increases your odds of winning, statistically); that's probably the best way. If you want to be able to win, you have to vote. Secondly, honor doesn't actually have a tangible impact -- cold, hard LP, on the other hand...

Lastly, I see where you're coming from when you say that singling out one player might come off as counterproductive. After thinking a bit longer on it, though, I think you might agree with me when I say that I'd expect it to improve the environment: you're behind, so instead of a player going AFK because "I've lost and there's nothing to be done about it", they stick around because "Hey, even if I've lost, I might not be punished too roughly for it if I continue to be a team player." Instead of flaming team chat or all chat, they might reconsider: "I know this isn't going great, but if I make an ass of myself, I'm only making it worse". All in all, I think that this "singling out" encourages more sportsmanship. But maybe that's just me.
