Really, Riot? Really?

I realize you ban people for some dumb things, but this is a new level of ridiculous.

I got "the game has crashed" instead of the loading screen when starting a ranked game. When I tried to reconnect, my client started downloading a patch instead of reconnecting me, and for some reason I can't fathom, that patch sat at 33% for ten minutes.

I finally managed to reconnect, tried to catch up, but ended up losing. I got d/c'ed from the server again after the game, and when I tried to reconnect, I got a "you have been banned by leaverbuster" message.

So...I'm banned because you disconnected me and then insisted I download a patch before reconnecting, and your patcher was incredibly slow today..? I sat there for 10 minutes watching "33% Calculating Differences", crossing my fingers and praying I could reconnect while your patcher "calculated differences"...and that's a bannable offense?

GG Riot...just GG

If you don't make a habit out of leaving games, you won't be banned. I afk in emergencies, I expect to be reported. When I DC because riot servers are trash or my internet is trash, I expect to be reported. I've never been worried about being banned because I don't leave games very often.

It's not as if this was your first time leaving a game or you ONLY leave games when riot servers fuck you, because as frustrating as that is... it doesn't happen alot. And usually, they are aware of when it happens (I think).

Riot don't ban anyone, it is people like you and me that go to Tribunal Review and vote, depending of the case, for a ban or not. Don't accuse Riot for things they doesn't even control.

Oh my God it's doing it to me again. Got d/c'ed from loading screen in ranked, trying to reconnect, "calculating differences". Incoming second BS ban!
