LeaverBuster and Bugged Loading Screen - one's going to discipline me, because of the other.

I don't really leave games, let me make that clear right now - I occasionally have to, or get disconnected, but I always reconnect as soon as I can. When I do disconnect, it's always as a result of a technical difficulty. I'll explain that below; this is really just a preface to give a brief summary of the situation. Recently, I was warned about leaving games, despite having no control over the issues I'm encountering that force me to disconnect and reconnect, or leave and rejoin. There's not a thing I can do about these problems, and I'm going to get treated like someone who leaves games on purpose.

Now, about the issues; primarily, they're a problem arising at the pre-game loading screen.

• About 10% of the time, I get some message about how it can't connect to the server. It tells me to check my firewall. My firewall is nonexistent. The only way I've found to fix this is to disconnect and reconnect. Sometimes it takes several attempts, up to and including rebooting the client entirely.

• Earlier today, I got a LeaverBuster warning...on an ARAM game I could only join when everyone else on my team was level 8, the enemy team level 7. What kept me from joining? The loading screen froze. It displayed just fine up until a certain point - 44% on one teammate, 16% on another - and then...it stopped. I waited a while, and then, on a hunch, tried rebooting the client, insta-loaded into the game at level 5 (with, again, everyone else in the game levels 7 or 8). Finished the game, got the warning - without, of course, ever knowing that I'd actually loaded in, because the loading screen froze.

• Also earlier today, my router crashed. Upon rebooting the router, the game did not reconnect, despite the message stating that it was attempting to. Guess what I had to do? Yep, leave and return, at which point everything worked just fine.

In short: It's not my fault I keep having to leave and rejoin. Should I just sit there, letting the game continue on without me, for better or for worse, while my team has to deal with a 4v5? After that warning, that's what I'm going to do, because the alternative is to get punished for something I have no control over.
