I disconnect if I stay in the loading screen for too long :(

So lately I've been playing a lot of ARAMs and at some time around in Patch 5.3 I started to loose connection to the game when I'm waiting too long in the loading screen.

I usually run up to 100% and then wait for the other players to connect to the game,but at some point all the other numbers stop and when I minimize the game I can't get back to the loading screen,because the game crashed. I know for certain that even when I remain in the loading screen that I lost connection when I'm playing with friends and they tell me that they are already in the game,while I still sit in the loading screen who tells me that some random dude isn't at 100% yet.

I hoped that this would stop happening after patch 5.4,but this continues to happen.

Indeed, seen this. Due to the game server failing to connect player to the game. Typical loading screen, everyone ramps up to 100%, except for one person that is shown Not Connected, and then it sits that way...forever and ever. Sit patiently waiting for the game to load that person, or to just load...all the while the game actually did not connect you and the only indication is the excessive wait time. This happened to me the other day. Eventually presumed the game is broken, so reloaded, only to find the game in progress and well behind. Did work hard to catch up and did so, though it was only a bot game anyways.

And now I have LeaverBuster on my case for 'leaving a game' I never had the chance to be a part of. Currently I cannot do anything as I refuse to type "I agree" given the situation is equivalent to forcing the innocent to plead guilty at gunpoint. Riot, fix it, and remove the popup. LeaverBuster is all fine for dealing punishment, but the players are quite capable on our own of determining and reporting who is AFK/Leaving.
