Would this get my account banned?

I was in a ranked game and long story short, I had to afk for 10 minutes (emergency) I told my team and apologized. Now before any of you guys hit me, we had an afk since the start of the match (Connected but dc'd 10 seconds in so no remake) and our mid DC'd a few minutes before I had to also afk. I was going to wait 3 minutes for 20 (We agreed to a surrender before that) and when I came back the game was ended. Now, as to why I'm asking. I've never been reported (as far as I know), never been punished, even have the skin from 2015's (or 2014's) good behavior reward. So would this possibly be a ban or will it be a warning this time? I don't plan to afk in any games, and I always try to keep myself and my team positive (Despite my name I tend to be a nice guy), and it was only once for an emergency. I'm also asking because I plan to buy a skin but I don't know if I want to risk it on an account that may get banned in 2 weeks for something I did today. An answer from a Rioter would be heavily appreciated.

You'll only get punished for repeated AFK in a short period of time. The system has some amount of leniency, they know nobody has a perfect connection.

If you leave too often, you get a notification in client telling you that your LeaverBuster status is worse. If you don't have that, you shouldn't worry.

Dude, afking or dodging just gives leaverbuster untill it becomes a problem. You might get a 5 min timeout but dont worry.

You can also get banned if you dodge too many times in champ select.

You will not be banned for disconnecting from one game. But that summoner name? Maybe.

You could AFK hundreds of games and not get banned unless someone sent in a ticket about it. The automated LeaverBuster system will never ban you for AFKing, and if its only one game you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
