Leave busted activated because FIRE

So i was playing a casual urf game with a few friends on mine, and suddenly the fire alarm rang so I had to evacuate the building since I do not want to end up all burnt like Brand . When I returned, the game was still in progress yet I had been dced due to inactivity, which was perfectly normal. AS any reasonabel person would, I rejoined and we eventually won the game. However, upon leaving the game and entering the end game screen, I found myself a victim of the leave buster system and is now LP queued for the next five games. Noting that I have not left a game in the past years, I find this punishment not only discouraging, heartbreaking, but also absolutely unjust.

You only get hit with a leaverbuster penalty if you are constantly leaving or going AFK. Riot knows that life happens, and gives people a bit of wiggle room, but you go past that and you get penalized.

You should not be punished via the Leaverbuster system for a first offense of leaving/afk. It takes more than one before a punishment is issued. You can actually leave 1-2 games before you are given a pop-up warning that you have to click saying you promise not to leave any more. It's only after the warning that you should be issued a punishment. Are you certain that you haven't had any other leaves or afks in recent weeks?
