Penalty for Riot's Client Crashing

How is it I get penalized for "leaving a game" when I'm in the matchmaking lobby and the client crashes on everyone? How is that fair? The ticker goes to zero on somebody and just sits there and you're left thinking "What do I do?" The only thing you can do - restart your client.

I did so. And came back to a lower amount of LP due to it. How is that in any way my fault and deserving of a penalty? That's just garbage.
