So ,when the game started, my internet got disconnected. I fixed it after 10 minutes and got back in to the game in attempt to help my team. We won, but after that I got a stupid afk timer, just because of the stupid internet going out. I am not saying "oh fuck you riot! Your afk thing is dumb" I am just asking for this afk timer to be removed from my account, I am jasonkik

Your internet.

Meaning: Your responsibility.

It doesn't matter why you go afk. Its your connection, your responsibility.

If you received a 10 minute wait from Leaverbuster, then you have left more games in the past than just this one. Riot knows that sometimes shit happens that takes us away from the game, which is why they built some leniency into Leaverbuster. You don't get punished for only one or two leaves/disconnects, you get punished when you show a history of doing so.

It sucks that this particular instance was out of your control, but if you're having internet/computer problems frequently enough to get punished by Leaverbuster, then it's up to you to figure out what the problem is and find a solution for it.

Its more likely that you'll have waited out the 10 minutes before a rioter would see this and take action

It doesn't matter why you AFK'd, just that you did and it was a detriment to your team, even if you ended up winning.

It sucks that it was outside of your control, I feel that. I had to make a new account and legitimately ruin a few games for low level players because my computer was dying and the only way I could get reliable blue screen dumps to analyze (and ultimately fix the problem) was letting the game hang on a frozen screen for the maximum IRQ timeout until the computer blue-screened. Even though it wasn't my fault before I understood that my computer was dying, I ended up with a few leaver marks on games that froze and I returned fast enough to help my team win, but its still ultimately our responsibility to determine when we can and cannot play with 9 other people without ruining the game for them.

You need to start using ethernet cables to play league. If you DC it's your fault and you hurt your team regardless of the outcome. It is not the job of 4 other players to pick up your slack while you think it's appropriate to leisurely fix your internet. Nobody is going to remove a timer you deserve since you were AFK.
