Patch V7.22 gave me 100 minutes of penalty time for a bug i had no control over

After queuing up for a game of Draft in Normals, i was met with a Bugsplat. Nothing new, i ran the repair for over an hour and thought "hey that's fine. I know RIOT is going through a big patch right now so it's to be expected". But what I didn't expect was a combined **100 minute afk penalty **spanning across the usual five games. Except I didn't afk; i was forced into a repair sequence and Bugsplat. Riot, please fix this problem not only for me, but for other players as well. This is a massive inconvenience and I would greatly appreciate it if I was reimbursed for the 100 minutes of a penalty that wasn't deserved. Thank you.

They don’t care and won’t do anything. This shit has been happening and it’s well noted. This patch fucked the client over badly. But nobody from riot seems to wanna talk about it. They just keep talking about in game balance

Aw jeez... really? I figured such a big company making so much money from this game would be more willing to help the players. Have you heard of anyone being let off the 5 game ban? Or at least being compensated for having to wait 100 minutes for the nonexistent afk?

I’ve had it twice since the preseason patch. Riot knows it’s a problem and I assume they’re working to fix it. But I doubt you’re getting it removed or getting any compensation.

Damn... Well thanks for letting me know what im in for haha. Its a real bummer but it is what it is. I got lucky and ran into a few players willing to wait out some of the 20 minute q's with me. Just finished them off amd im back to playing normaly. For now.
