I dont INTend to DC

I have been put in Low Priority Queue three times in the past 2 months not because I'm toxic or anything, but because my internet sometimes goes out, and I have no idea why, and I can't fix it. I'm now in the 20 minute checkpoint and never in my life have I even been here. I've never been in Low Priority Queue until this year as a matter of a fact, I'm not doing this on purpose either I'm not trying to ruin anyone's games I literally cannot control this and I'm being punished for it. There isn't a thing I can do.

"Just don't play ranked" and I honestly never do because of this reason, but sometimes I can be playing norms or ARAM and the connection seems fine so I decide I can maybe sneak a ranked game in or something, but it's just my luck of the draw that my internet decided to just keel over and stop working, and every game I DC it's a remake. which I get I'm wasting people's time and I'M SO SORRY, but I want to play too, and they didn't lose any LP or anything(I lost 16 just now) so why do I get punished so badly. I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS. I can't help it

"Get an Ethernet Cable" I can't. I'm just a college kid with out a job, and my parents can't be bothered to buy me one. I know it'll fix all my problems, but it's just isn't in my reach, I want to keep playing and hopefully be able to play ranked, but it just gets harder every time my internet decides to just stop working. I'm not asking to repeal the whole punishment system, but I don't deserve this. I can't do anything to help myself if there was I would've done it a long time ago. I honestly don't expect this to go anywhere, I just need a place to vent while I wait out these 20 minutes in ARAM queues. I honestly want to keep playing league. I've been playing league since like Pre-Season 4, and I have never been in low priority queue I don't like how this feels.

I close everything that can take up bandwidth, I turn my phone off wi-fi, I do everything I can to let my Laptop play league and sometimes it works I can get games in no problem, but other times odds aren't in my favor. If anyone can help I'd love to take any suggestions, but for now ARAM is about to start queue so this is the End of my venting.

Sincerely, A kid who wants to play his favorite game

Now I would say: you are responsible for your end of the game, its not riots fault that you have bad internet.

but seriously, A ethernet cable costs less the 5$ in canada, I doubt it costs sky high in where you live.

and sometimes it can't be helped, but Riot is punishing you for giving your teammates a bad experience, not calling you out for having bad internet.

I can understand the frustration perfectly. I can almost swear that the lag spikes ONLY occur at the most critical moments in the game. I mean I could be attacking a tower, and then suddenly the ping goes sky high, and then when everything unfreezes, I'm dead. And the final slap in the face is when it goes all the way back down right afterwards. Since this is 90% of every occurance of lag I have in the game (game events where each split second counts), I believe suspicion is more than warranted...

Also, your title capitalized INT, which makes it look like you mean to (int is short or intentional feed).
