Nemesis Criteria for icon issue

I was playing nemesis with some friends earlier and my computer froze up just as the enemy team was attacking our nexus. When it unfroze, I was in an infinate "attempting to reconnect" screen, and after 10 minutes of waiting, had to quit out. Now, I'm VERY upset that this probably means I can no longer get the icon, but I'm even more upset because of how reluctant I was to play the mode in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, I was actually really, really hyped up to play it, but I wanted the icon even more. When I learned how people would be recieving it, I got kind of intimidated. I played a game, and I loved it (just like I thought I would).

But then, being someone with a less than stable internet connection, I found myself too afraid of something dumb going wrong and causing me to lose the icon. I refused to play the gamemode for a few days, simply because I wanted to make sure I got something I really wanted. Now, from a certain standpoint, I can understand how this actually really would promote good behavior in the community, as people would be deterred from acting up in order to get the icon themselves, but on the other hand, what this rule does is cause other people like me to not want to play the gamemode more than the one time just to get it; there are tons of threads talking about how people are doing just that, which I think says something.

I don't know if anyone agrees with me; or if I'm just being salty about being what I consider to be "cheated" out of a icon on my reluctant second game of a great mode, but either way, just my 2 cents on the policy Riot decided to take with this gamemode.
