Players on "Toaster" computers

I've got an idea on filtering out the players who try to play league on sub par hardware. I don't know how many of you remember when some games required you to pass a minimum specs test but I feel like Riot should implement a system like that into the game or even add some kind of in game test that checks things like your cpu speed and gpu settings to maybe give you a more playable experience.

I say this because the amount of games ruined by people who can't connect to the game or people who constantly d/c because of pc related issues is too high, and it's only getting worse with each major update to the game. I know i'm probably just wasting my time with this idea but something needs to be done and it doesn't take a lot to run this game.

You failed to describe a hardware problem that would be detected by what you wanted to check.

You described an Internet problem, which may or may not be dependent on ISP, number of people at home, time of day, etc. Alternatively, you may have described a problem with PC overheating, resulting in a forced shutdown.

It's pretty unlikely that people will have a computer that's worse than Windows XP w/ 1GB of RAM and 2.0Mhz processor. It's not the minimum specs that are the problem.
