concerning Disconnects, does that include crashes?

ever since the 9.12 patch was downloaded im having alot of issues staying in game. so far after about 8 games today, my number of crashes is at 3. where my the game just freeezes, (usually upon character death in game) and im not able to alt tab out. so far the only way this ends is by me logging out of my user on windows(10) and logging back in to restart the game. i know there was apost about avast causing disconnects but, i use Advnaced System Care and Malware bytes. so wheres the issue there?

UPDATE: after going through my game history the only other new thing i gaterhed is that this crash happens right after the 6min mark

playing on laptop GE72 Apache Pro

can anyone else confirm or tell me what to do? im losing time on these winnable games(except veigar ADC that one time, that was bad)
