penalized for being AFK due to my horrible wifi the past two days.

HI.. yesterday i started a league of legends ranked game, and due to the rain, the wifi turned off. It rarely ever happens to me that i get disconnect, but somehow i did. Later on during the day my wifi came back on and I checked if i had lost the game i played, and it turned out that it was a victory. I dont understand why i lost my LP in ranked, even though I won and helped my team get fed and then diconnected after being the one who led them to victory.Later that day I had seen my wifi get better and so I started another game. About 15 min in, my wifi had gone bad again and I had disconnected. My team still won. But i was penalized 10 min in low priority queu for 5 games. I had then waited a whole day to play league til today and hoped my wifi got much better. And so I started a game, and then got disconnected in champ select. Now i have to wait 20 min for 5 games. I am just worried that if i get another afk game due to the weather that I will receive a permanent ban even though I NEVER EVER have AFK'ed a match intentionally. Thanks ;)

Maybe stick to aram, custom, or bot games while you're having issues. No sense in risking ruining your ranked stats for faulty WiFi.

If you change your title by cutting out all the irrelevant details after the word "AFK", you realize there isn't a story here. Yes, you were penalized for being AFK, which is as it should be. Fix your connection BEFORE queuing up.

2 DCs won't take you into 10 min LPQs. That 10 mins is the result of your previous leave/afk history.

You should look at those first before blaming Riot.

If I were to DC 2 consecutive games in a row right now, I won't even be in LPQ.

Btw. I was not blaming Riot. I was just asking if i would get a permanent ban if i disconnected another game.

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT. MY INTERNET/YOUR SERVERS DISCONNECTED ME. I HAD A REAL-LIFE EMERGENCY. I HAD TO GET OFF THE COMPUTER. THE GAME CRASHED. UNBAN ME! We understand that players may be forced to leave from time to time so the system has been designed to keep these situations in mind. After leaving a few games, you will be placed into a**_ low priority queue_; as long as you can _complete 5 matchmade _games without leaving, you will be returned to the normal queue. However, if you continue to leave games, you will remain in the low priority queue."**

You should not receive a perma ban for dcing, unless it becomes a constant habit.
