Game glitched in the loading screen, and despite playing the entire match, it counts me as afk

In a ranked gamed I just played, the loading screen had an issue where I was unable to connect right away. I was in voice chat with my duo, and he said, "Why are you sitting in base?" I then realized everyone on my screen was still sitting at 100%. He said it was 1 minute and 30 seconds into the game, so I closed the loading screen and hit reconnect in order to join the game. The first time I did it, it was successful, and I was in the game by 2 minutes. (I was playing Bard and I remember there were 5 chimes on the map) After closing it and hitting "reconnect" in the client, I rejoined the match and was able to successfully connect. I played through the entire 41-minute match, only to be met at the end with the message "You are ineligible to earn loot due to leaving or AFK behaviors." This isn't a reoccurring thing. I'm unsure what caused the loading problem, but the biggest issue for me is that I now am getting 0 lp for this placement match. I submitted a ticket to Riot support, but I'm unsure if I sent it in the right category. Is there any way I will get compensation for the game I played through? Or is there a way, at the least, that I could get a match removed from my placements so I can play another game to determine my initial rank? It just seems unfair for me to play through and positively support my team through the entire duration of a match only to be met with the equivalent of a loss and an afker.

Also I apologize, I'm unsure what part of the forum I should be posting this discussion/question on. The major loading screen problem was everyone was at 100% and it wouldn't connect me into the game.

Unfortunately they won't be able to do anything about that. You were gone long enough that you were tagged as afk, Ive had that happen before and all you can do is just move on to the next one.
