Today I just opened my console and used the disconnect command then left the game because my Team had picked 4 carries and it would surely be a loss.
If I do this frequently, will I be penalized?

Yes, leaving during the picking phase has given abandons since around August 30th, 2013, and will put you into Low Priority queue if continued. The only time you can leave without getting an abandon is during the loading phase or after someone else does.
Besides just getting an abandons though, it is also pretty rude. Sometimes people will get really upset and falsely report you for it even.
