Normally if a game is laggy or stuttering I will Alt + F4 and try do some quick troubleshooting, and then rejoin the game i was playing. The last 2 times I did that I was unable to rejoin my match. The first time I believe the match may have ended as i was trying to rejoin. But the 2nd game I am pretty sure it could not have ended that fast. I was only gone for about a minute and we still had a tower in each lane. I didn’t get a leaver penalty either time and my points appear to only reflect normal losses in each game.
Question is did they patch alt+F4 so you can’t rejoin?
you can rejoin but not every time you do it. just once per game if you only left once per game and still didn’t have the rejoin option then idk maybe bugged? cause it shouldn’t be “patched” as it’s expected for people to crash whatsoever so rejoining would be an option still. but again if you done it once in same game then tried once again then you can’t.
Thats good to know. It must be bugged because like I said, I didn’t receive a leaver penalty or a lost a lot of ranked points. Thank you.

no problem. btw you can just click Exit instead of Alt F4 that way it works better to rejoin the game i assume Alt F4 makes it buggy idk but give it a try and just go to the menu and click Exit if that works out then you should stop using Alt F4 and just leave from the menu
I’ll keep that in mind next time it happens. Either that or I’ll just have to not dc at all lol.
First off I’d try making sure its the game that’s buggy. If you have a PC with good specs, then mostly likely its your internet or the game itself.
Assuming you already checked those areas, I’d follow her advice. Not claiming to be an expert but Alt F4 is probably the same thing as holding the power button on your system to turn it off. It probably isn’t the best method.
If you need to troubleshoot quickly, it’s better to Alt+tab, not alt F4.
That way the game still runs in the background and you can resume instantly, without having to reconnect.
You can place your hero just behind the front gate of a fort so that you may even be able to soak Exp for your team while temporarily afk (if the minions come close enough).
Sometimes I may release/renew my ip or connect/disconnect from from my vpn. But from now on I’ll just tough it out. I can’t afford to get leaver status or lose that many points.
