Unfair AFK punishments.

I have these weird low priority ques because I couldn't connect to a game. Something went wrong in the files or something after that last patch. When I went to connect it would say it failed to connect no matter what. If you ask me, this is a Riot Mistake. I reinstalled and repaired and I fixed it but now I'm punished for an AFK that was Riots fault. Why? Shouldn't we get a few AFKs free, in case like, you have to leave? What if Someone in my family needed me right away? Not only is Grandma hurt, but I get punished too? AFTER 1 AFK? My grandmother is not hurt, that was hypothetical, but still you get it. It's a fucking poor shit system and I hope riot gives half a shit about it one day. One fucking AFK over something I have no control over. You can even look up my last game. Volibear. Never connected. Never had a fucking chance. I don't deserve this.

Anything outside of ritos fault (which I think is rare) should have a punishment imo

Yea you may have a true emergency, but afk'ing one time for an emergency really has no punishment.

You do actually get a warning and then they can ban you and besides it does more good than it does harm so its fine.

Its kinda flawed in both ways. You can get DC'd for the first time in months and get put into a low priorty que. Its also flawed in the way that you can purposely leave as many games as you want, and not get anything more than a low priority que.
