The AFK / leaverbuster sysem is a hot mess

I am on a 5 game que of 20 minute penalty because your game doesn't realize when some one is truly disconnect or afk.

I've been struggling with the BETA client to get through games and it's been lagging me out of champ selections or even just straight up disconnecting my wifi in game.

So what happened was I needed to use rest room during the loading screen, it was a bowel movement and I didn't feel like I needed to use the rest room during champ selection.

What happened was I took my shit and I hurried as much as I could, I get back to the game and I buy my items and get ready to head out to lane.

The game flashed the "afk" warning and then I said oh well and still went to play through the match, I was still in game not disconnected and all of my allies were in lane.

No one died no one was extremely out lanned, it was calm 3 minutes into the game.

Well the surrender vote went up to "an afk" and I voted no, while every one else on the team voted yes.

Game was over, we literally had all the people in the game and every one has items.

How do we get a remake when every one is there? I wasn't even disconnected from the match just had the pop up afk warning sign.

I was put on a 5 game que before for taking a shit in game but you know what, that same game that penalized me for "afk" I actually came back to the game before it disconnected me and I helped carried that game to victory.

How is it I was put on a 5 game que penalty for a game that I actually had a huge factor in winning, all while never being disconnected from the game from the afk warning leaverbuster system.

Your system is punishing small offenders who still return to game and finish through, go after the people who actually rage quit and afk so long your game disconnects them.

Don't go after people who have conditions that render them incapable of holding in your bathroom privileges all day.

It's not fair and unjust to punish people who still win matches despite needing a few minutes out of a game for body functions you can't control and happen naturally.

I doubt this is what really happened but if that's the case, that's kind of bullshit to force a remade and nail someone with leaverbuster when all players are connected and playing.

Double bullshit because I've had games that still ended up with a 4v5 because someone left at like 6 or 7 minutes.(Whatever is right after the remake window). One of those times literally cost me my promos.

Because that's how long it took me to do my own research and go over the evidence. I looked up information, used charts and graphs, held focus groups, sent out flyers and surveys, and even hired some consultants from Mechanical Turk. After tallying everything up I just came to the final conclusion.

Doing proper research takes time. Do you just expect me to blurt our my opinion with no research or studying here on the internet where it will it possibly stay up forever for everyone to see. That could be quite embarrassing and even career ending if I screw things up.
