If it's not a rare occurrence, dc'ing from the game will have you hit by leavebuster. Regardless of the reason. Your PC stability is your responsibility.

When was the first one? Was it recent? You don't need to be dc'ed the entire game to get on bad terms with the system.

Dude, who plays League on a laptop not plugged in? That's kinda on you.

I think he meant that the game was 12% loaded on his end. Might be an actual desktop he uses.

Having to wait 5 x 20 minutes is only possible if you are leaving games quite often. As the FAQ says, the timer starts at 5 x 5 minutes :

You will be placed in the low priority queue for 5 games. If you continuously leave,** the low priority queue timers increase from 5 minutes per game to 10 minutes per game and then capping out at 20 minutes per game.**

If you only left one game there is absolutely no punishment, you need to leave several games to trigger the low priority queue ( the 5 x 5 minutes part ) it doesn't happen just because "my pc died" once, you need to wait 20 minutes between games only if you've left quite a few games recently.
