Low priority queue for afk?

So recently I got placed in a low priority queue for leaving games and being afk it told me, but the question I have about this is does it also recognize when I reconnect to the game? I've been fighting issues with my ISP causing me to DC and come back and on top of that my PC likes to freeze, every game it's caused me to AFK I'm pretty sure I've reconnected to, making this punishment a little unfair to me. I can't predict when my internet is going to cut out or if my computer is going to freeze that game or not. I can understand this punishment if I was staying out of the games but I'm not, I'm reconnecting when it (my internet or PC) will allow me to.

''every game it's caused me to AFK I'm pretty sure I've reconnected to, making this punishment a little unfair to me.''

Whats really unfair is the fact that you, even tough you know you have a big chance of dc/freeze, decide to start a muliplayer game. just because you still have the need to play doesnt mean 4 other people have to deal with your bad connection.

In terms of reconnecting, I do think there is a bug with the system, unless this is how they'd intended it to work. Not too long ago, a friend of mine reconnected after temporarily losing power. We still won, but it considered it to be a loss for him as a result of the issue.

I think the idea is, the other nine players deserve for you to do some testing and troubleshooting to figure out why you keep losing internet or freezing up.

It's great that you're returning to your games as often as possible, but your absence is still a critical problem for however long that takes. I'm sure you've attempted to reconnect to several games, only to realize that they were already over.
