Lower Priority Queue Mishap

During my last ranked match on this account in Diamond V, I decided to AFK 3 minutes into the game. After an accidental Gromp steal (it happens), our Jungler decided that the only way for the rest of the game to play out is to come to bot lane and intentionally take the farm from it. "GG" was his choice of language. I asked him if he was going to leave and did not receive a response except a continual effort to take cs from bot lane. This is when I AFK'd.

Now I am being "punished" with a 5 game "Lower Priority Queue." Please Riot employees, before you write to me and explain the reasons for why I shouldn't have AFK'd... Consider the situation for yourself.

Should I have A. Stayed in the game and tried to jungle for the team, without smite, as an ADC having already bought a Doran's Blade and one Health Potion. B. Stayed in bot lane and competed against my Jungler for cs. C. Gone to another lane and tried to support another teammate as ADC. D. Save my time and leave the game.

Now, if you still insist on coaxing me to believe that I shouldn't have left because of some chance at winning, I have wasted my time with reason and logic. Remember this is Diamond V, there is not much room for error in this elo. I do consider my Jungler coming into my lane and taking my cs as an error. And so, if this is worthy of punishment, please leave the LPQ as it is. However if you see the light as I do, please reconsider my LPQ and lift the punishment. If all else fails, let the community decide. Thank you.

Now I'm bronze and I've seen this happen before. I mean accidents happen and in reality most of the time it is truly the junglers fault. Most of the time the jungler will smite as the adc is autoing and the auto will finish it because he (The jungler) smited a tad too early. Say what you will but that's on the jungler. He should either ping the laner(s) back if he is about to smite or ping them back, if he smited early, when he knows he can finish it without any help.

Back on my note of being in Bronze and seeing this happen in ranked. I've done it before as a jungler and I knew 100% that it was my fault. I had no blame for the adc who stole the big krug, I knew it was my fault. Thankfully I was playing nunu so I could easily solo my red at lvl 1 without smite. He apologized for taking it and I simply told him that it was my bad.

I've also seen this in ranked (Still in bronze here) happen to other people just some randoms a few times and although I've seen some of them get upset, they never quit or did something stupid like take all the farm from the adc or top laner. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would do this in bronze, but I have yet to play with them and have the adc or top laner accidentally take a camp.

You do also have to realize though that he has some right to be upset. It's not so much about the gold as it is about the XP and taking even just one krug means that he will not hit 2 and will usually have to do his next camp at level 1 without smite and with a decent amount of HP gone so unless he's playing a champion with a lot of sustain such as nunu or fiddlesticks he would need a leash on his buff and someone has to give it to him. Even though it's usually his fault he still needs help or else he will simply be too far behind to even be relevant so either you or the support would need to help leash his buff for him I'm not sure if either of you did leash the buff as you never said anything about it.
