Don't punish players for abandoning games when your servers cause the problem [Client]

It's really quite obnoxious when I am disconnected from a game during champion select because I "lost connection to the servers," and then have to wait another 5 minutes to play because I "abandoned a game."

As a player, why am i being punished for "abandoning" a game when your servers kicked me off? That seems unbelievably dumb and unfair. This happens all the time, week to week, in both ranked and standard games. I have lost something like hours of time waiting for queues that I shouldn't have to wait for in the first place.

To the haters: no, there aren't any problems with my internet connection. No, I don't experience this issue playing any other game, including dota 2.

Thank you guys.

It might not be the client or your internet. There are a few different solutions to this problem and I'm sure none of them involve the client at all. Have you tried looking up solutions to people that report similar problems? I've had this happen to me once or twice and what fixed it for me was disabling a few things on my computer, I wish i could remember exactly what I did so I could relay the info to you.

Just curious op but are you using the latest Windows Insider Preview build to test their beta stuff out? If you are that's probably a really good culprit since I've been getting bug splat's since it came out pretty regularly.

Remember that servers for different games are located in different areas. Just because you have a good connection to Dota 2 servers, which are located in a different state or region, doesn't mean you'll have a good connection to League servers.

I think you should work through this guide, and it if you still have problems, reach out to riot support:

Hope it helps!
