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.

Couldn't you just disable this part of leaver buster instead of making people wait till patch 4.21? Or just hot fix it in perhaps?

That works. But then Riot will actually make money off League and people will actually play the game more often. They obviously don't want that.

Bug in your system. Lets leave it up.

You know their is a bug. And you are going to force people to use your terrible ticket system to get out of punishment when they have served..... You got to be kidding. Tickets can take over a week to get a response!!!!!! Plus they refuse to actually look at any info you provide they use templates that say provide x, when you already have done that.

I am not even being punished and i find this extreme.

We're not leaving the bug up, we're working on the fix and getting it into the game ASAP.

its kinda unfair to have the community in an infinite loop while you guys sort hing out tho... to be fair a hotfix should be provided or have the system downed until it is fixed

This. Bugs in the 4.20 mac client caused me to DC from 4 different games resulting in 20 minute queue times which were then amplified to 40-60 minutes queue times because of this bug.

I've been in the low priority queue for over an hour on three separate occasions in the past 24 hours without getting into game. I assume that it must be bugged. I've seen that sometimes the queue is meant to last around 30 minutes, but over an hour seems excessive and like the queue will just never pop.

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.

same here but its all good to me cuz i got exams ill probably look for more fixes after exams

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!

Drakzul2 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.

ThundaGød 2G 2 votes

dude same it keeps on reseting and i dont know what to do

HUMDIDDLY12 votes

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.

Bikini Killer2 votes

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.

themachamp22 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:

http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/miscellaneous/EZbHLGZY-introducing-the-new-leaverbuster-system

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.

FPS Dust2 votes

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.

Caramel Cutie2 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?

kibliss2 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.

BigDischarge2 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

Bloodwidow1 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

Apparently nothing since they're beyond-rich and so far gone with their "God Complex" that they can afford not to care.

P.S sory for my bad english :)

ZenStyde1 votes

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.
