[GAMEPLAY] Instead of "Reconnect" button it showed me "Skip waiting for stats". NOW PENALIZED!?

I am currently unrightfully penalized by the LeaverBuster system for being unable to connect to a game (my internet worked flawlessly at the time. The game client just kept giving me the pop up that I couldn't connect). I tried reopening the game client via Alt+F4. However, instead of the launcher showing me a "Reconnect" button it showed me a "Skip waiting for stat screen" button (as if the game has been canceled) so I thought the game may not have started and the game server closed (which happened in the past) and when I clicked on it the launcher just forgot that there even was an ongoing match for me and I even would have been able to start another. After 15 mintues a "Leaver (Remake)" game appeared in my history and I got a message that I am now placed in lower priority. Unrightfully tho.

EDIT: Just waited the first 20 minutes of the unrightful punishment and again.... Couldn't connect to the match and it AGAIN throwed me the "Skip waiting for stats" and completely canceled the match for me!!!

Reproduce:

  1. Start a game (normal in my case)
  2. Get a pop up saying something along the line "Can't connect to game"
  3. Alt+F4, because pressing Connect doesn't work.
  4. Logged in-state Launcher will prompt you with "Skip waiting for stats"
  5. Press the button and everything will dissappear as no match were running.
  6. Get a LeaverBuster punishment after a while.

Please, revoke this punishment.

This has been happening to me for the past 2 weeks. Now every time it happens, I'm hit the next 5 games with a 20 minute que for LeaverBuster. Ports are open, running as Administrator, repair tool used. Still no fix. I even REFORMATTED MY ENTIRE PC and re-did these steps without resolve. HELP.

My friend had that happen to him too, and he restarted his entire computer then relauched league. It worked, and he managed to reconnect.

Been happening since 8.4 for me. Re-install didn't help, multiple repairs didn't help, and the only way to reconnect to the game is by closing the client and reopening it for some strange reason. It's a work around but it's a bad one.
