There is NO reason to reconnect to a game in progress.

So I was just playing a ranked game, where my comp froze and I was afk for around the first 10-15 minutes of the game while I restarted my computer. I came back into the game, and played for another 30 minutes and helped a lot with carrying my team to victory, despite being at a level and money disadvantage. My team won, with my doing the second most damage on my team, however I still lost 19 LP.

I guess I can live with 19 LP being lost, but I feel like if I'm going to lose LP anyways, why did I bother to come back? I can imagine a lot of people not wanting to reconnect to games they have dced from because there really is no incentive. You are losing either way, so why waste time?

I just personally think there should be some kind of incentive, not gaining LP necessarily, but something like you dont lose any LP.

That's really dumb actually what? I mean I get still flagging you for leaver buster, because they can't tell what the reason was for you not connecting. But If you win and you were there for that win, they should award you the LP

A couple years back I got DCed from a ranked game because the power went out in my house. But I was so dedicated that I tethered my laptop to my phone for a data connection just to reconnect and finish the game. We lost that game, and I got a leaverbuster warning anyways, even though I reconnected as fast as I could and played the game out til the end.

I kind of have to agree with OP right now it's not really worth it to try to reconnect to a match you get DCed from since the chances of winning that game are slim and you'll still get a warning/punished by leaverbuster anyways.

Yeah I think it's kind of unfair that you lose LP still even after you reconnect and win a game...
