Why do I get leavebuster even though I have to disconnect and reconnect due to an issue?

I was playing URF, and I left for a bit to replace the battery of my mouse. Then I return to see "You have been disconnected." I reconnect and we win. At the end, I get the leavebuster for 20 mins. Can I get it lifted away, please? T_T

You could try to file a support ticket (found right here) but I doubt they'll lift it. Maybe though, who knows.

The reason I think this won't be lifted is because this wasn't an issue on Riot's end. You left the game for a sizable amount of time and replacing the battery of a mouse is something that can be done beforehand or done within a few seconds. Sorry, but good luck and I hope they lift it.

Its pretty impossible for Riot to tell the difference. Usually, AFKs are not innocent mistakes, and with the amount of AFKs in my games, I prefer they be dealt with harshly.
