The Problem with Queue Punishments

So recently, I entered champ select for a solo ranked game. Everything was fine, I was formulating a plan with my team and trying to create a team composition with some synergy. Then, when the moment came for me to select my champion, I got disconnected from PvP.net. I'm sure this is a problem for many people that don't have the money or opportunity to purchase a better PC/laptop or internet, so I was hopeful that I'd be able to jump right back into queue. Rather than that, though, I had to wait out the full time because I "failed to select a champion." I feel as if there should be some sort of system in place to better recognize why the person who "failed to select a champion" failed to select their champion, just to make it feel a little bit more fair. Granted, I only had to wait 5 minutes 30 seconds before I could join in again, but nonetheless it still had me a bit upset. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
