so idk if anyone else is having this problem with the new leaver buster but first of all i got low priority queue after leaving 1 game which is kinda silly secondly the low priority queue is bugged i think. you wait out the duration and then it just restarts and you never get to join the game this happened to me twice and im on my 3rd round atm

In rare cases, some types of older hardware are seeing a bug where they get repeated timers instead of going through to matchmaking. A fix is already in for patch 4.21.

For the time being, a few things that might help are to close other programs when you are playing League (so that only League is running). If you write a Player Support ticket someone can help run through tech support options with you.

Still waiting to for you to actually start following through, you completely ditched that thread right after you said you would answer our questions...Have some pride and dignity and actually do something for us instead of just make flashy Big Riot Post Plays.

I honestly would rather read you say "WE FUCKING FUCKED IT UP SORRY GUYS!" for once than saying "yeah its a super rare incident, here are some random stats that you can't verify to show that no one gets these problems, optimize you East Coast Plebs ^.^", you know Lyte, at a certain point, well it is way past it, people stop believing anything you say because you don't own up for the many things that is blatantly on your end and constantly always insisting that it is always the players and customers fault really isn't an amazing paradigm to keep said players and customers to continue playing and supporting this game. It is like talking to a child that broke your window and it says "nuh uh, you did it!" then said child keeps breaking more windows and you tell them to stop and then they say "you ain't the boss of me!", but in this case, the child somehow manages to evict his parents out of the house or calls child support services and gets the parents arrested for telling him not to play with a baseball bat near all of their windows.

Don't worry Lyte, I expect you to turn tail and not respond to any of our posts once they actually are reasonably well put together enough to put stress on your PHD credentials, the only "fun" and easy posts to answer are the ones when people get banned and then you smyte them.

PS: Does my internet connection looks like it needs to be checked to show how pissed I am? Also I DID send it a ticket to support a while ago to help me understand why do I get games where I can't connect to them at all and get past 100% loaded at the loading screen, it has been almost six days, I have yet to get a human non copy and paste message yet out of the two I got, one to tell me to send diagnostics and then another to tell me I got my ticket transferred but bumped to the bottom of the queue for bumping it.

Same here, timer counts down and resets. I doubt anyone will do anything though..... Guess im not gonna be playing lol for a while. It really is unfair. I get punished, (which I guess is fair) then I cant even have a chance to redeem myself.

STILL OCCURRING even after 4.21

This is getting out of hand it seems as if everytime i manage to get myself out of the 5game low priority it puts me in for a stupid reason like dcing.

As of today it has occurred to me 3 times in the past week when i know for a fact i havnt even played that much or dc'd for that matter. Atm im in my 6th loop of 20 minute waiting. What the serious. fluck.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I waited out a 20 minutes queue 8 times already. Just ban me for a few days rather than institute this asinine "low priority queue" thing white it clearly doesn't work. Bring it back once you've fixed all the bugs that MANY USERS (not just one or two) are experiencing.

themachamp212/15/2014, 10:52:18 PM2 votes

We will probably have to wait till the player behavior team stops patting themselves on the back for this to get fixed.

On a side note:

I like how they give credits at the end thanking themselves and a few others for finding bugs and helping to test the system. Yet, they completely missed a game breaking bug where you can get stuck in an infinite loop lmfao.

Nice that people don't want to play with people experiencing these low priority bugs as well. Truly improving the experience of players with this leaverbuster system. /sarcasm.

kibliss12/17/2014, 12:01:03 AM2 votes

I just finished 2 games. Every time I win a victory I get the low priority queue. FUCK YOU RIOT. I gotta wait 5 minutes after every game. A hotfix is needed. This better not affect my Leaverbuster level. I swear if i had enough money and was rich I would sue for my money back just to prove a point. I can't even l log out while the 5 minute timer is going without coming back to it resetting; something has to give with this stupid Leaverbuster crap. Leaverbuster has been and probably always will be crap while it exists. And imho I think that it is unfair for Leaverbuster to exist for accounts that actually pay money. How the hell can RIOT have a system in place anyways that does this when people pay money. Get rid of Leaverbuster all together. IT IS SHIT.

Caramel Cutie12/16/2014, 11:46:43 PM2 votes

ATM I can only play custom games, why can't riot just remove this while they fix it i can't play after leaving 2 games in my past 20 games i have played?

BigDischarge12/17/2014, 3:00:31 AM2 votes

Yea... I got 5 matches on 5min queue for power going out then trying to rejoin after power cameback and having message saying ur league has crashed about 10 times. It worked fine for the 5 matches but the wait periods havent gone away still have to wait 5min before every game. Quite anoying to play with friends and having to make them wait all the time. Fix this.... really pointless update tbh

alpha steve11/24/2014, 10:42:09 PM2 votes

Try playing team builder, I'm not sure if it works, but there isn't the timer when I try it.

Poru Senpai11/27/2014, 9:58:21 PM2 votes

So for disconnecting from 1 game I have to wait till the next patch to play? Isn't there a way to just temporarily disable this until you fix the actual bug. I mean a company as big as you can't even deal with small problems like that? come on now...

Sincerly,

-P

I restarted my comp to fix lag, got back in game withing 5 mins and finished the game! Which we won by the way ;) haha but plzz fix this... ive been in que for over 2 hours!

Drakzul12/11/2014, 9:38:19 PM2 votes

I love how this problem still exists AFTER 4.21 when Lyte assures us they were going to fix the issue and not just keep it in the game to make the game unplayable for any one person who gets disconnected from a game.

leave buster low priority queue still have this problem. sht' r*ot new client

Bloodwidow12/12/2014, 12:31:42 AM1 votes

that's true for me and my friends to but what League of legends could do is make it so you can wait for the queue but be able to like look at the store and your own stuff while waiting in the queue instead of it just controlling your thing for the whole time

Lumaba12/13/2014, 5:38:18 AM1 votes

Guys for me teambuilder works. All other queues apart from custom just keep repeating the waiting time.... This is insane ! Wtf is riot doing ??

oh boy riot ok in fairness my amd dual gpu apu went through some nonsense in alt tabbing from lol to desktop in my last match and failed to load the images from the aram match at all i could hear things and see the cursor so instead of getting a disconnect and getting a leaver level i resolved to instead lay blind stupid i know though i legitimately got a kill from just looking at how my cursor changed states and clicking like a mad htter and guess what leaver buster got triggered like i broke some sacred rule thou must not try to play blind flog lee sin then too im guilty i immediately got a 20 min 5 match low queue off this match why im asking why it was 1 match and i didnt disconnect or afl as i was moving aout all through so riot why is this please adress thissummoner 13 [slayer-jinx-unamused] [zombie-brand-mindblown]

P.S sory for my bad english :)

Because of the Trying to Reconnect, every time after the low priority cooldown, IT DOESEN'T QUEUE UP. I REPEATED IT 6 TIMES IN 1 DAY AND STILL HAVEN'T QUEUE'D FOR AT LEAST 1 TIME. Please bring back the old client, it has lesser bugs than the new one, also less lag at home page and ingame.
