Are Ban Penalties too harsh?

I left a game because I had a emergency, but it was also before three minutes (A remake DID happen). I never bought items and intentionally left so my team would remake so it would not count as a loss for them. The next day I Log in to play league I have a loss and five, 20 minute time penalties this is EXTREME for a remake that took fewer than three minutes to reset for everyone else that also did not count as a win or loss (BTW this is my first time leaving a ranked game that I can ever recall). If Riot would make a update that decreased this penalty, or made remakes accessible every game, this could have been avoided. Right now I am pissed and refuse to waste a hour and 40 minutes (THAT IS TWO GAMES!!!) of my life on a game that already is meant to just waste my time. These penalties are to harsh for a remake. FOR REMAKES AND REMAKES ONLY FIX THIS RIOT!!!!!!!!!!

Ranked is punished harsher than normals

Where as you had a legitimate reason to leave, the fact remains the system doesn't care. As it is fair to everyone but not allowing loopholes

In addition, yes you may of left within the current remake period. That doesnt change the fact that there was roughly 45 mins wasted by the other 9 players simply going thru the motions of picks and bans. Just to have to remake a game. You denied a game from happening, punishment is dealt.

i understand your argument because i thought about it as well but in reality only about 10 minutes was wasted for each individual 10 times 10 equals a hour 40 minutes but still the fact is that they did not actually wait THAT long and i think if the penalty was cut in half would be more reasonable after all normally i really don't care when a remake occurs and it is very easy to start another game maybe 5 10 minute would be more reasonable i understand the logic but still is kinda extreme for how fast it is to go in another game.

But at the same time, then they're again waiting another 5 mins each to get into that game which makes 90 mins of time wasted just in champ select alone for everyone u remade with a 3-4 min queue duration some games, adding in another 40-50 mins for those 9 people is fair all in all, you caused a remake, thus wasting 140 mins of other peoples time if anything it should be harsher but, the way it is now, is "fair" to all

While it might be your first time leaving a ranked game for that penatly its not your first dodge/afk. Stop dodging and afking in the first place then the punishment wont be as severe when you actually have an emergency.
