You Get 0lp For Winning a Ranked Match you Disconnect from and Reconnect from

I played a game of League, and at the start of it I disconnected and then reconnected

(It said there was a system error) (at around level 6 after turning on and off my computer since I couldn't alt-tab)

(The enemy Kai'sa also disconnected and came back)

My INTernet worked fine, so I don't know if it was on my end or on the server's end (there have been many bugs recently and it happening twice makes me suspect this).

Regardless though, I ended up winning the game and didn't get too frustrated over this. The thing that bugged me though, was that I got 0lp from this win. In my opinion this is unfair because even if the internet issue is on my end, which it very well may be, I don't think it's fair to be punished so harshly when I tried my best, came back after a short amount of time, and won. I understand that discouraging disconnecting/leaving is important, but I feel that this is overly harsh. Therefore, I propose that Riot would only cause an LP % reduction for Dc'ing and Rc'ing, say only a 50% reduction.

Good luck not getting Teemo support in soloQ and have a nice day. [garen-swing]

Nope. There's nothing to prevent people from abusing this system. In addition, Riot was having issues yesterday and disabled ranked queues for a while. If disconnections are still happening, you should submit a support ticket. Fortunately, one or two instances of this over the course of a season will not affect your long-term climb. You'll get those LP back. And if you don't, the problem isn't with the system.
