DC'd at the loading screen, when I connected back I was booted out of the game.

This is the second time this has happened to me, but it shouldn't happen to anyone at all. Why is the system unable to tell the difference between intentional DC's and game crashes? I swear, nothing is more infuriating than spending almost 10 minutes trying to reconnect to a game only to be booted out as soon as you load in due to "inactivity".

Please Riot, I shouldn't be kicked out of a game after just arriving.

This happened to me about 2-3 weeks ago (for about 2/3 days), except I'm usually in game, but always attempting to reconnect. Eventually, I gave up and just left the game. Ended up getting a 5-game low priority queue for 5 min. By the 4th day, everything is fine again. Back to 39ms.

i hate not being able to get into the game at all, disconnecting on the loading screen which makes me have to relog the league client itself ( if i dont, its a constant loop of hitting reconnect and getting shut down, reconnect and shut down, reconnect and shut down).

The reason they cannot tell is because you're only connected via the internet. Your computer is not connected to their computer or server. Your client and all of your files are on YOUR computer and not theirs so if anything happens: computer blows up, house collapses, client says 'fk you,' or your grandma tried to vacuum the router it'll still show as a 'disconnect' or a 'connection is lost' on their end. From their point of view (and I agree with it) it's better to punish people for 'leaving' or 'DCing' because IF they don't, everyone will leave or 'dc' on purpose when they're losing or trolling to not get banned or punished. You can essentially never lose a game because you can just 'dc' yourself when you're losing and argue that it's unfair to get a loss from being 'Dc'd'

Tough but true.
