RIOT idle warning

I get warning people if they're idle, and disconnecting them if they just afk. But seriously, do something about trying to reconnect. Started a game today and my computer apparently overheated just after i selected a champion, and apparently disconnecting doesn't count as a dodge. When i reconnected it took 5 minutes for me to actually load, and as soon as i connect it gives me an alert "You've been idle for too long and are being disconnected from the server" With a big "OK" button as my only option. Couldn't cancel the disconnect, couldn't reconnect. Just had to disconnect and then proceed to spend another 5 minutes connecting to the game, just so i could be another 4 levels behind the already way ahead team. You say you balance it so people can catch up, but that's totally untrue. If there were any chance to catch up it would have to be a lot better than it is as of right now, since being disconnected nets a huge gold deficit AND a level deficit, which if anyone feels like being an utter tryhard and diving you under your turrets, which are too weak to do anything about it, you're SOL and have no opportunity to do anything. disconnections should have some way of recovering after they return, or perhaps buy them an innate gold gain item the moment they disconnect so when they do they at least have some extra gold when they come back. All in all this is mostly a complaint that i didn't get a chance to play the game because the launcher decided it wanted to kick me out a second time after I had already disconnected once and, pardon my french, but that's utter bullshit.

If your computer overheated, I'd say you have a more serious problem than trying to log back in.
