Is there a way to repeal my LP loss/Report?

I just lost LP as the "leaver" of a remake game. A bad storm hit my house as the loading screen popped up and I had a power surge. Luckily, I got back into the game just in time for my team to vote for a remake. I apologized, but everyone assured me that they were still going to report me. Is there anything that can be dome about this? I know one instance isn't going to really do anything, but I'm still concerned about my standing, and my LP loss even though I got back into the game.

To answer your question, no.

The remake system needs to be reworked though. It should require at least 3 votes and start at 5 minutes. I've seen so many people reconnect at 2:45 and the team still votes to remake. Waste of 15 minutes.

This is exactly the sort of thing that I said would happen when remake was first put on the PBE.

The "afk problem" has never been people being disconnected for the first couple minutes of the game. The game shouldn't even start if someone isn't connected, and yet it does. Allowing a remake and an LP penalty for an individual who's missing for the first <3min inevitably will lead to people having a small connection problem / storm / Riot's server issue / bugsplat and be penalized for a game they can get back in to on time. Of course the teammates will take the remake - why play with an ally that's a little behind in lane (probably equal to about an early kill) when you can have an even game instead?

The game should never have loaded. It should have sat there and waited for the 2-3min to see if he'd reconnect. At that point, sure, load the game and give us the option to remake and punish him. Don't just insta-load the game when someone bug splats though...

A first time leaver won't affect your standing. But you won't get your LP back.

buy a back up power pack, hook up your computer, monitor, and modem onto it.

power surge will now no longer affect you.

This has saved me multiple times for just a flick of power. especially useful if your living environment is slightly on the older side and the electrical work hasn't been updated for a while.
