Players punished for having known issues..?

So it occurred to me that if a player has a known issue happen during the game, like lets say bugsplat for example, should they really get punished for it? Theres a likelyhood that theyre going to have a much worse chance of winning, on top of teamates harrasing them and the idea of that being lost time, where all they can do is be frustrated. Should they really get any sort of punishment for being afk, or any other kind that may be inflicted on them? Its like giving someone a bomb and saying "Put this down in that corner and watch it. If it goes off, were going to kill you." In any case, its certainly not a good business practice considering that these players are going to start to hate the game because theyve got a 5-10 minute wait time before they can play a game, of which they are more likely to not want to play because they can now expect to dc for no fault of their own, have a higher chance of getting harassed, having people step on them like bugs (BM'ing is a topic for another day), and have a pretty good chance of losing. (also, sorry about putting this under gameplay and balance, but i had no idea where else to put it.)
