I understand if u leave a certain amount of games there are penalties up to 20 min q times. Are there any harsher penalties for people that purposely leave a game and type in chat that they are?

One game I had a tristana get mad because our xin didn't gank bot fast enough and said at 7:42 into the game "Enjoy your afk game." and quit. Then came back at 19 mins so he wouldn't get the auto afk penalty. This was a ranked game and was pretty frustrating.

No penalties cause riot only cares about the no-no words.

Not much, this is certainly reportable. AFK, unsportsmanlike conduct. Could result in any number of punishments if you actually reported her and it went through. And I've had games where I was forced out by something (typically having to go walk dogs or something like that) and, even though I got back in before the game ended, I still got the low priority queue.

The other thing is that the low priority queue punishment isn't just it takes 5/10/15/20+ minutes to find you a match, it's that you don't even enter queue until 5/10/15/20+ minutes after you queue up.
