AFK or Low Priority Queue time

Space Ritual·4/14/2015, 12:15:42 AM·1 votes·628 views

I just played a ranked game, and someone said they wanted to trade, but decided to troll me and not actually exchange champions. Now, I am not excited about playing AP Garen jungle, so I decided that I would let them push mid, and get a new game. I have had issues in the past of my computer crashing, and accumulated quite a bit of 'credit' with the leavebuster. I have been pretty good about not triggering it, but from this game, I have received the maximum punishment for the low priority queue. Does this reset? Why doesn't it reset sooner? And why is there such a catch all mechanic for leaverbuster, but not for trolling and hacking? I don't necessarily consider this a bug, but there is no area for me to say something is completely unfair.

I get trolled about 25% of my games. Whether it be people who bought accounts, or are simply first timing a champion in my games and non-stop feeding. The fact that I keep running into people who intentionally ruin my games, doesn't seem very fair, and I trust the system to eventually catch most of them, or reform them in some way. I on the other hand, have just been given an awesome troll punch to the face, and instead of me being able to report them and get them punished, I am slapped with an hour and 40 minutes of waiting today. The icing on the cake is that I was just demoted as well. Are there going to be improvements to the reporting and honor system, or am I forced to bow down and swallow whatever you happen to choose to give me? If you like, I could keep a log for each game, and document the amount of actual even games I get, I could quite easily do so.

Incase you think I am just wasting your time, and this is a useless complaint from a customer you don't care about, let me quickly go to the League subreddit and spend 4 seconds looking for a bug.

Found one. I'll put it as the link.

...I decided that I would let them push mid

Valid thing for LeaverBuster to hit you for. You're not really helping the situation when you deliberately sit in base and throw.

Does [the low priority queue penalty] reset?

Assuming that by "reset" you mean "go back to giving you 5x5 minutes or a warning instead of 20 minutes", yes.

Why doesn't it reset sooner?

Because apparently you're leaving/idling at a rate higher than what Riot considers acceptable.

And why is there such a catch all mechanic for leaverbuster, but not for trolling and hacking?

Leaving/idling is a totally binary thing that is very easy to detect.

"Trolling" is so vague that it's not really possible to mechanically catch anything but the most blatant cases. (Riot does actually have a system that flags really blatant intentional feeders for review.)

They try to block exploits and detect people who are "hacking" in various ways, but it's a constant game of cat and mouse.

I get trolled about 25% of my games.

I looked at some of your recent Ranked losses, and I'm really not seeing any "just walk into the enemy turret 20 times" kind of scores on your teammates. People who lose lane are not "trolling" you.
