I feel you bro.. I have had around 10 of these "Ghost Games" in the past 2 weeks. Some in as-good-as won ranked games... Leaving me with nothing, but a wait time for up to 2 hours. This is getting frustrating, and for me, this is happening way too often to be enjoyable.

Riot TMX has posted some further information regarding this ongoing issue.
Hi Everyone,
While this isn't a fix unfortunately, some information about this issue occurring.
This is what is commonly referred to as a "ghost game". At times when there are issues, sometimes the games do not correctly report as being ended, or when a game is dropped from the server the same behaviour can occur. This can manifest as:
Being prompted to reconnect to a game that doesn't exist
Stats not being recorded for a win/loss
Ping jumping to “500” with an 'attempting to reconnect' option for all players
Ghost games are set to clear themselves after a maximum of two hours. The only thing you can do from your end is to keep trying every so often, after a maximum of two hours, the game will clear and you can resume play as normal.
Unfortunately any stats/wins/losses from these games that are not shown in match history cannot be recovered.
As mentioned, from your end there is no way to fix/resolve the issue - it's something that will clear up on it's own.
How to confirm it's a ghost game, rather than a local network/disconnect issue
Have a friend attempt to spectate you more than 3 minutes after your disconnect (due to the replay delay). Does your friend get an error? If so, this is probably a ghost game - it no longer exists, so there's nothing to spectate.
If, however, your friend can spectate fine and people are able to play without issue apart from you, please create a new discussion to troubleshoot this issue!
My game showed <Player Name> unpaused the game! Ban this hacker!
This isn't a hack, and please don't blame the player. The first person to reconnect to a game during server issues, if all 10 players drop, shows the "unpaused" message.
If you wish to replicate this:
Start a custom game with only you vs bots
During the game, press alt+f4 to close the client. It'll say the game crashed with a "reconnect" button
Click reconnect
When you get back into the game, it'll say you unpaused the game. Does this mean you are a hacker? It does not. This is the same thing that is happening in the live games - the player is entirely unaware their name is saying it unpaused the game, and will more than likely be just as confused as you are!
