"Youre group was disbanded"...except it really wasn't.

If this reads as me being a little frustrated, its because this literally just happened and is entirely unjust. Wow where do I even begin? Okay so I queue up for a ranked game, get placed in and get through picks and bans. The loading screen starts and all is good right? WRONG. Suddenly it kicks me out to client and tells me "your group has been disbanded due to server maintenance." So I'm just "ah crap, oh well." So I wait a few minutes and come back and try to start a normal game since ranked is down...and then it tells me "You are already assigned to a game." To which I'm thinking "What? No I'm not, I was just kicked from one." So I logout, log back in and suddenly I get the Reconnect screen...Unbe-freaking-lievable. So I join back in and as I feared its that same game, with the same group. Except now its 8 MINUTES IN! And the other team somehow managed to reconnect almost entirely (Thresh was the only afk they had) meanwhile only 3 of us were active and I just joined. Obviously I'm in total disbelief at this, the game kicks me out of loading screen and TELLS ME the group is "disbanded" That wording specifically tells me the game is over and to wait for maintenance to finish to start anew. But no, that's not what happened. What happened is that I lose 17 IP AND (are you ready for this kicker?) "Due to leaving the game/AFK you have been placed in a lower prioritized queue for 5 games"

Slow clap Riot. So clap. This needs to get reported to the higher ups, players shouldn't be punished for incorrect information/server screw ups. Loss of IP and getting an AFK tacked onto their record is not okay and I'm sure our group wasn't the only one. This needs a fix ASAP, games that get "disbanded" due to maintenance need to get immediately treated as a remake.

Thank you for reading this, please get back to me.
