Got punished for queue dodge when the client became unresponsive.

Ok so I got a queue dodge because the game thinks I didn't pick anything when I couldn't. It froze on 0 seconds for the person before me and then I couldn't see anything, my client became unresponsive (I could click things but nothing happened) and I got a 30 minute queue dodge penalty for doing nothing wrong. I waited until I could pick a champion and got punished for it. Rito pls fix.

EDIT: I also remember this happening earlier today to someone else when an opponent locked in Pantheon. This also happened to me. This may be something to investigate if you want to start somewhere.

I can't even tell you how many times this has happened to me. With the old draft system sometimes I'd get lucky and have selected my champ before client issues so the game accepted my pick anyway, but with the new system, even that's not a chance anymore.

Yeah, this has actually happened to me more and more recently. In an ARAM lobby no less because my client bug splatted.

Its also really stupid how this could easily be solved by NOT HAVING TO LOCK IN YOUR PICKS. It also gives people a reason to use pick intent. Come on Riot. Argue against this valid point.
