Afk behavior?

I was playing ranked a couple days ago when the loading screen froze and when I alt tabbed out it said that my graphics card drivers weren't updated (they were) but I checked just in case, everything was good but the client still wouldn't let me back into my game, after 3 more failed attempts and restarting my computer I finally got into the game 10-15 minutes late. My team didn't flame me, we played out the game and lost, oh well right? Well even though I wasn't even afk and didn't get a "leave" on my history I still got pinged for AFK behavior and put in low priority queue, a little unfair but not the end of the world. I played the 5 games and then a couple more today when lo and behold the client bug splats no less than 5 TIMES while trying to load into another ranked match, this time it just tells me to check my internet connection which was perfectly fine seeing as i was skyping and streaming. I got into the match and we barely lost that one as well but AGAIN i'm put in low priority queue and this time its 10 minutes between each match. Eventually i'm just gonna get banned for something i have zero control over and its pretty frustrating. I'll fully admit that sometimes I get pretty salty in my games but I haven't been warned about getting reported nor is the client telling me i've been toxic, just afk. Is there anyway to go about rectifying this?

You could try to not use Skype (as much as it helps or as much as you enjoy it). You can do ping checks on speedtest.net before you play the game. You could (if you are not 100% sure), take your computer in somewhere to get it checked out. Make sure no other programs are running that are taking up bandwith or using a lot of memory on your computer. If you share your internet with others perhaps they are streaming or downloading. In that case you may want to get a router.
