[crash] Consistently cannot minimize/prevent "attempting to reconnect"

I keep running into "attempting to reconnect" issues -OR- I "freeze up" after champion selection but before the game loads. With regards to the latter, I just have a black screen with my cursor with the hourglass of death.

I have to ctrl+alt+del for task manager, to get to the actual champion load screen, but even after 100%, it just sits there.

That has happened a couple of times, but what is worse is the "attempting to reconnect" loop of death.

I can look at the shop and minion stats and such, but nothing else. I have looked and looked and there are NO fixes that have proven to be effective. There is a ton reporting this for version 4 (season 4??). It is not my internet. Everything else works 100% and I have tried every internet check I can.

I don't know if this is a bug, but there HAS to be a way to prevent this or at the very least, let the penalizer (I can't remember what it is called) know I was AFK because of this. I know it is an automated system, but there has to be a way to code in some way to recognize the difference between AFK and wanting to play but the server won't let me. At the very least, is there someway to "track" the "leavers" to try and nail down the problem. I know I am not the only person with this patch, because I have seen others. They may be less patient than me.

In short, the code set up to "reconnect" doesn't work. It does not attempt to reconnect, or at least not very well.
