Kicked from Lobby, given a Leave/Loss

I was in queue and about to start a match, when right as it started, the game refused to load and gave me a bug splat saying it identified corrupted files. I thought, ok, looks like the game never started, since the client went back to the homepage without a reconnect button or anything. About 3-4 minutes later while my client is still repairing for some reason (It worked fine a hour or 2 before when I was playing btw), I got this pop up saying I left the game in progress and was given a loss.

Why am I punished for a corruption error on your side of the game RIOT? I was clearly able to play before this if you look at my match history, and then I'm punished for a game that started when it shouldn't have even been able to start. I ended up losing something like 20-25 LP for something that was unavoidable on my end, and where I am on the ladder that's a HUGE deal. I want to know what the issue is with this and if I can get my points back or record cleared here or something. TYVM.

Leaverbuster doesn't care who's fault the problem is. If you aren't in the game, it's your fault. The only exception is if Riots servers are have problems so seriosuly they have to temporaily turn it off and hand out "loss forgiven"s.

You can't say that when you literally say this in your next sentence;

it's your fault.

I don't disagree with what you're saying but the hypocrisy lmao. Just wanted to plop that into the post

Maybe I need to clarify.

It is NOT my opinion that it's your fault. It's Leaverbuster's. It was designed to be unfair and in some cases cruel. It does let you get by a couple of times without harsh punishments for rare instances where things are beyond your control but for the most part as far as it's concerned, if you leave the game, it's your fault.

It doesn't care if a drunk driver takes out a power substation near you and knocks out your power(actually happened when I was kid though this was way before League)

It doesn't care if your Internet craps out.

It doesn't care if the client fucks up(and I've had this happen to me too and yes I've also been punished by Leaverbuster for this)

It doesn't care if grandma or grandpa gets a heart attack and you have to rush to the hospital.

It doesn't care if your house catches on fire and you have to GTFO.

As far as LB is concerned, if you leave the game then the problem is on you. The only exception is when things on Riot's end are so bad they have to turn it off and/or activate "Loss forgivens" due to extreme serve problems.

Leverbuster is DESIGNED to be a bit unfair. This is so that if people know that they can get punished for things that they can't control like power outages, family emergencies, etc then they'll be far less like to just leave games over more petty things like being behind, especially if they had a power outage during a game last week and already got a message about warning games.
