Honestly, if you're prone to DC's, because of power outages, wifi issues, internet issues, family issues, personal issues, just stay out of ranked and or uninstall.

It's literally like babies touching the hot stove time and time again knowing that its hot and will hurt them.

Right... Or it's like playing a video game where you "might" DC, and since it's a video game and not a stove that will actually cause physical pain, you say fuck it and try anyways. In other words, I think your analogy sucks lol.

Because RIOT slaps them on the wrist for the most toxic thing in online gaming.

Disconnecting is hardly the most toxic thing in online gaming. Intentional feeding, trolling, telling the enemy where your team is, and straight up ignoring the point of the game and AFK farming are way worse.

They can't 100% prove those things and I agree those are toxic too but they can prove frequent dc's and do very little to curb that behavior.

Comparing that to toxic chat which is the other thing they can 100% prove, frequent dc's are the most toxic thing in online gaming and they slap offenders on the wrist for it.

I had no idea having a power outage was so toxic

You also have no idea that a power outage doesn't punish you either. It's the frequency of the act that causes the punishment. If people didn't constantly leave games then when that power outage happens nothing will happen to them.

Stop leaving games then blaming a well deserved punishment on rare events.

You're looking at this the wrong way. People who dc a lot get stuck in silver because they lose more games, it's not that people who are in silver dc more often.

Some days are much, much worse than others, it's the weirdest thing.

I can go for most of the week without any dcs or afks, but then on a RANDOM night...say, Tuesday, it takes me 25+ minutes to get all the way into a match because of lobby dc/afk...then half my games are remakes anyways because someone doesn't make it in. It just comes and goes so noticeably, like I'm being shunted into low priority queue without reason/explanation.

Jeez... I never have problems with afks on my main (this account, which yes it is silver). But when I play a low level account.... Oh. My. God. You literally can't go 2 games in a row with no afk. It's baaaad.
