AFK punishments when your internet dies

I was just in an ARAM, unfortunately my internet died briefly. Sure we have all had moments when the net goes down for a moment. I rejoined as soon as it came back and played out. (note, the morgana actually went afk after raging near the end but didn't leave so assume she gets no punishment) and in the post game screen it tells me I get no rewards because of the "AFK behaviour" during the game? WTF can I do about that? I came back ffs. Utter BS that I get hit for that

Send a support ticket with a ... less vulgar explanation, and Riot will hopefully fix this punishment

From the LeaverBuster FAQ page

IT'S NOT MY FAULT. MY INTERNET/YOUR SERVERS DISCONNECTED ME. I HAD A REAL-LIFE EMERGENCY. I HAD TO GET OFF THE COMPUTER. THE GAME CRASHED. UNBAN ME!

We understand that players may be forced to leave from time to time so the system has been designed to keep these situations in mind. After leaving a few games, you will be placed into a low priority queue; as long as you can complete 5 matchmade games without leaving, you will be returned to the normal queue. However, if you continue to leave games, you will remain in the low priority queue.

It takes a few leaves in a short amount of time to meet the threshold required for LeaverBuster penalties to be applied.

I agree.

People will say "abuse" but you came back. So it should be fixed.
