Getting Afk buster and losing when you win a ranked game

So I just played a ranked game and my internet connection went out, I came back and my team still won the game. yet I still got afk buster and the game counted as a loss. ( I know rito is gonna say something like "you don't get afk buster unless you leave alot of games...." but the thing is in my last 20 games I haven't disconnected or be toxic in any of my games yet I still got afk buster. Now I would have been okay with my afk buster punishment, but my ranked game counted as a loss as well. which I feel like is unfair because sure I went afk but that doesn't mean I didn't help my team win. How am I suppose to climb in ranked when every other game I get people who give up when their mid or top loses lane. and to top it all off rito is just like "yeah lets give this man a loss no matter how hard he tried to win." I think I should have been given even more lp for making a comeback and reconnecting to the game. Because next time if my internet disconnects, good luck having me reconnect because I am just gonna lose anyways. I think riot should seriously consider rewarding good players instead of just only punishing toxic ones. Anyways I know I am not gonna get any lp back or have the afk buster taken away so this whole rant has been basicly useless. Other then that have a good day fellow summoners and good luck on the rift [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Getting the automatic loss is part of the afk buster. Judging from the exp rate everyone was getting, you were absent from min 4 to 14. Being gone for 10 min sets your team back much longer than just the 10 min you're gone. You're going to be a weakness for quite a bit while you're catching up in levels/items. Props to your team for getting a win despite the heavy disadvantage you gave them.

It's not a "last 20" threshold. It's a pattern recognition. Also, you have to be disconnected for a certain amount of time to get your rewards from the game nullified.

1 out of a hundred is a fairly heavy afk pattern that will quickly lead to the maximum 20 minute LPQ.

1/20 is ridiculous.

going afk for 10 ish minutes is grounds enough for punishment. then you going afk just make the big john wayne comeback in a win... yeah you should be happy to not be ban. aside from that alot people before you ruined it. dont plea for forgiveness and a reward for hamstringing your team
