That would make the formula's more complicated as well as open up potential for abuse.

An example of theoretical abuse would be a game is clearly over(down by 6 towers and 15 kills), then 1 player goes afk. The team holds out for 7 minutes, meeting the afk time requirement. They get reduced ELO reductions when the afk had no real impact on the loss.
