Issues with the new /remake command

A few minutes ago I queued up for a ranked game. My League client crashed, which isn't in my control. By the time I reconnected, three minutes had passed. I typed something in /all chat so everyone knew that I was back. I even out traded my level 3 lane opponent as a level 1 riven due to tower shots. I could easily bring my lane back, but bottom lane wasn't doing very well. Because technically I was a dc in the game, and she wasn't doing very well, Caitlyn decided to create a /remake vote even though I had reconnected to the game. I was back in the game and everything could've gone fine, but since she wasn't doing so well, our Caitlyn stabbed me in the back, giving me a loss, minus 20 LP, and 5 leaverbuster bans for a client crash which I had recovered from. I know Riot doesn't lift bans for any reason, but that's not what I want. I can handle the leaverbuster timers, I just want the system to be improved. I included a link to the game via replay.gg as proof that I reconnected to the game.

lmfao the comments in this thread. Really, people? The client is garbage and crashes frequently for tons of people, and will black screen on occasion when you try to reconnect. It can easily take a couple minutes to get back into game.

The fact that it doesn't happen to 100% of people (and further that it doesn't consistently happen to the same people) implies the problem is something that can be troubleshoot and fixed.

For some reason many people think that the only way to solve that sort of thing involves spending money on new gear, but league is quite low end in actual requirements, so usually all that is actually required is fiddling with settings/repairing client/updating drivers (people buying new gear tend to fix their problems 'accidentally' since they'll reinstall all the drivers for the new thing). If people aren't going to take the steps to work with tech support (or figure it out on their own), then losses due to crashes and the like are something they going to have to deal with.

(Also, if someone has tech issues at the start of a match, even if they come back and even if they seem like a star player, I don't want to play with them since I have no way of knowing if they're going to randomly crash in the middle of a teamfight or similar later and cost the game.)

^ This.

I have a GAMING PC WITH ETHERNET, and I have problems connecting to games sometimes as well.

Maybe don't dc for 3 min? You didn't get stabbed in the back, you know the rules.

My client crashed the disconnection was completely out of my control which is why I'm complaining. I do know the rules and if the disconnection had been my fault I wouldn't have even posted this

It doesn't take me 3 min to get back into a game if my client crashes

I should apologize for saying that the bot lane wasn't going well. I just saw the replay myself, and it looked fine. Still, this seems like a better reason to play the game out instead of my team giving me a loss for the sake of the 2 or 3 creep waves I may have missed.

I don't see any reason your team should take the loss for you.

I'm not saying they should take the loss for me, you're right they shouldn't have to. I'm saying they should have let the game play itself out instead of quitting at three minutes in.
