Low priority queue is an intense punishment

I mean, I deserved it, I totally left the game like an asshole about 4 times, only two of which were remakable and one of the un-remakable was a ranked, so my bad, I had my own consequences but it's still my own fault.

I just gotta say though, Low priority queue is a doozy, you have to wait a hell of a long time before getting in queue, In which you cant even touch the client, whcih was kinda crappy cause I wanted to chance some runes and masteries so I could try out Viktor, who, by the way is really darn fun despite just being destroyed 100% of the time. But anyhow, in game it's pretty harsh, most people in there are extremely passive aggressive and highly combustable, I didn't even get one person to appreciate or kind reciprocate my tea party jokes, or extraordinary sportsmanship even if we lost miserably all three games so far. I also noticed often that each team has a extremely high elo player, Usually near the Plat-Diamond border while I'm sitting on the Silver-Gold border, which really upsets the gameplay of whoever they are against(I got destroyed mid by a plat 2 Brand.)

I mean, I understand Low-priority queue is meant to reform people, but it actually really just made me feel like shit because I really can't prevent myself from unexpectedly DCing or forgetting to take smite and just quitting so team can remake.

I remember vaguely somebody referred to something called prisoners island, and about how thats not the goal but honestly I felt a little bit like said prisoner...

Dodging is dodging :/ The penalties are intense. coming from someone who has only intentionally dodged 2 times, I got my first one week ban due to so many offenses. I can't really help the fact that my internet will randomly hit 500-3k ms leading to a disconnection and remake, or just puts me out long enough for me to have to reset my router and come back to a loss & report... couple times my client crashed leading to low priority and so on... Was so disappointing to know Riot has not one single way to detect client crashes and disconnection do to a spastic ping to prevent penalties, it is something that wouldn't be hard for them to integrate... I absolutely cannot stand low priority and will fill any lane, I just do not dodge nor afk in a match.
