Make Low priority Que less shitty.

So, i just got put into low priority que because I'm not connecting to games for some reason. I was 2 days ago when the news season started, but now I'm having issues.

Anyway, I'm not here to complain about the client being fucked up(Even though it is, and not my fault I'm being punished). I think low priority que would be better if you could still navigate the client while searching for a game. For example, you could send messages or browse the store or change runes. The 20 min timer doesn't have to change, but that part could, so i could at least send messages to people while searching for a game to tell them that I'm in low priority.

If you didn't try to find solutions when it started to become a recurring problem, then it is your fault. Don't wait until you get sacked with an LPQ to try and fix connection issues.

The point of LPQ is to make sure you're focused and ready to get into the game when the queue pops - letting you browse the store or mess around with your Rune pages would detract from that intent.

I don't think the message of the punishment would be quite as clear if all it was was a few minutes' wait when you queue up.

You aren't wrong.

I mean… it's intended to feel "shitty" given that it is a punishment. But the thing about being able to message other people seems absolutely reasonable to be honest. I don't think making you appear rude to other people is an intended consequence of the punishment; or at least I don't think it should be.
