Why are players penalized for bugsplats?

I was casually playing league and on a winning streak. I get into my next game, we're loading up and my screen completely blacks out. I get the bug splat message, which is out of my control, but I still lose 21 lp. I never get bug splats and are bug splats really the player's fault? I couldn't restart league, turned my computer off, started loading in then my team surrendered, and I was left clueless and 21 lp less that I had before.

Precaution.

If riot gave freebie passes for bugsplats, people would find ways to cause the bugsplats to get out of bad situations.

Yes they are. You are responsible for the stability of your operating environment. It is yours, after all.

I wish if riot sees the shit dropped on their end they would at least own up to it.
