User blog comment:StrategicMagic/AFK and Disconnect - There is a Difference/@comment-9713132-20121012114744

The matter is not about 'stupid ignorant retarded' LoL players - it's just that the terms and what happens often mix up. The fact is, if a player disconnects, they do nothing. If a player is AFK, they do nothing. That is the main reason for all this hubris - people just can't differentiate between the two, and it's not their fault.
