I dced from 1 game due to power outage upstairs. I get out of the game and it tells me I'm in low prio queue for 5 games. Is this really a FAIR result from a power outage? I'd like to add that prior to this my team had lost top and middle lane very bad and jungle wasn't going so well, bottom lane was winning. Surely you have the technology to be able to determine whether an account is disconnecting or afking compared to a power outage. This is completely stupid.

You don't get leaverbuster punishments for 1 leave. There is built in leniency for occasional issues. If you are getting a low priority queue then you leave too many games.

There actually is no way to tell the difference between someone disconnecting and rage quitting, but it wouldn't' matter anyway because staying connected is your responsibility.

It doesn't matter to the other players in the game why you were afking, just that you were afk. Also, low priority queue doesn't get applied for just one game, you had at least one other game recently were you were afking as well.

Amazingly, disconnecting the power cord from your modem looks just like your fuse box overloading to the interwebz.

There is no commercial technology in the world that can do that. The program just dies, how can you expect it to send the reason when it's not operating any more?

Also, you don't get low priority queue for one game. There's more to your history that you're forgetting or not mentioning.
