/remake has a ridiculously short timer

I mainly play normal games, I've been playing for over 2 years and have never abandoned a match due to rage quitting. However my computer isn't the strongest ever, and often on my first game of the day I don't connect within the first 3 minutes of a game. With the new implementation of the /remake function. However I find myself being met by a post game stat lobby the second that I do connect, with my name in red and supposedly reported by my entire team for something I have no control over.

In my opinion the remake function shouldn't be made available within the first 5 minutes of a game, because (especially in a normal game) the entire direction of the match isn't made that soon in the match... I also don't deserve to be punished when I'm already in the process of reconnecting, as of now I'm waiting 20 minutes for the next 5 games which is absolutely ridiculous and I have plenty of other things to do than wait around to play my game that was hindered by inpatient teammates. If I hadn't already spent so much time and money playing this game honestly I'd quit solely because of this new feature.

Maybe try custom or bot games then for your first game of the day? It's not that you're 5 mins late, you're 5 mins late and behind in level and behind in gold and opposing team either had a free lane or jungle, putting them ahead even more. 5 mins is 1/8 of the average total game, and missing that much impacts it greatly.

This.

If it's happening regularly, you should be proactively trying to do something about it. Try loading into a custom game by yourself first thing every time you start playing. Try a client repair. Try disabling other applications that might be interfering. Check firewall settings. Update Windows. Update drivers...

If you're unable to connect for the first 3 minutes of a game it means you dc-ed in the loading screen. So yeah you're afk then
