I was in queue and about to start a match, when right as it started, the game refused to load and gave me a bug splat saying it identified corrupted files. I thought, ok, looks like the game never started, since the client went back to the homepage without a reconnect button or anything. About 3-4 minutes later while my client is still repairing for some reason (It worked fine a hour or 2 before when I was playing btw), I got this pop up saying I left the game in progress and was given a loss.

Why am I punished for a corruption error on your side of the game RIOT? I was clearly able to play before this if you look at my match history, and then I'm punished for a game that started when it shouldn't have even been able to start. I ended up losing something like 20-25 LP for something that was unavoidable on my end, and where I am on the ladder that's a HUGE deal. I want to know what the issue is with this and if I can get my points back or record cleared here or something. TYVM.

Leaverbuster doesn't care who's fault the problem is. If you aren't in the game, it's your fault. The only exception is if Riots servers are have problems so seriosuly they have to temporaily turn it off and hand out "loss forgiven"s.
