Really Riot?

So, why am I being punished because Comcast can't get their shit together. I normally don't have any connection issues that most Comcast customers have(knock on wood) granted the service isn't great but I know when I can play uninterrupted and when shit will hit the fan. So I play in very specific time slots. The past few days Comcast has had their heads up their asses but I'm being punished for it for "afking" when ultimately I have no control over said situation.

Literally the least amount of control seeing as it isn't even a problem on my end. I have never intentionally left a game (I play mostly ranked) and when I have "left" its because Ive been dc'd but always attempted to come back and in most cases have been able to come back and help my team. Either way its frustrating enough dealing with a company like Comcast during their "outages" but to also be punished for something completely outside of my control or influence seems a little...unfair.
