I played in a ranked where my computer recently shut down and restarted for no reason in the middle of a game. I was back in in 5 minutes yet I still lost Lp, didn't get rewards and it even wasted my first win of the day bonus. And I've afk'd in the middle of a game for long than I had then and got no penalty and got all my loot. And this was not recent. WTF Riot?
you probably recalling it wrong.
That sucks. But being gone for that long is long enough to negatively impact the game. I'm not sure how I feel about losing LP and/or an afk penalty.
You were gone long enough that the game was seriously impacted. You do not deserve credit for the game if you did not participate fully in it. While minor short disconnects are forgiven, being disconnected for a longer period of time in a game will render you ineligible to receive rewards, even if the game is ultimately won.
