Thank you Riot for your unfair LeaverBuster system!

I just wanted to personally thank you Riot for punishing players because they have had poor internet connectivity. You recently punished me for "Leaving too many games" when I have ONE Leaver status in over the past 6 months. I have disconnected from games, but reconnected at the first available chance I had. Whether it was due to unstable internet or my computer crashing. I guess my point is I totally think it's awesome that you all punish players who not only did not willingly quit their games, but reconnected at the first chance they had. INSTEAD OF FOCUSING on players who rage, threaten their teammates and either afk entirely, if they do not leave outright. I have seen people with over 8 of their 10 most recent games with leaver status on all of them go completely unpunished for years. You really need to re-asses your priorities on how you punish players. This is crap.

"Whether it was due to unstable internet or my computer crashing" If you have either of those and you play more than one game in a row you deserve it. It may not be your fault but why should others suffer for problems that you are having? Easy example is Saturday morning I had a weird situation where my ping was shooting from 200 (normal for me) up to 7.3k and it wasn't consistent. I finished the game I was in and didn't play again until I was sure the connection issues were gone.

As pointed out already though it doesn't say "Player X disconnected because they crashed / had internet problems / had to walk the dog" it just says that you disconnected or quit.

I really don't care why you DC. If you DC 50 minutes in and we lose a 4v5 late game teamfight, I'm pissed off with you.

Problem with it though is each and every time I reconnected, and nor was it a duration of the whole match. Being punished when you come back each and every time is crap.

Which is more annoying, is the fact that the problem are from the servers of the riot itself ... because my connection is good and my internet is good ... but the programming of this game is terrible ... the game itself is very good .... but sincerenly stay 30 minutes to play unfairly and discouraging ... and today tried to fulfill this leavebuster I'm already 1 hour waiting and this bad system , comes out of nowhere for home screen .... message to riot ... You have everything to grow !!! Hire Russian progamators to do a decent job ...

This is bs i just got leaver buster today and i have to wait 20 minutes for a game. All i did wd dc because of my internet issues. Once i refreshed it it was working perfectly normal. Guess what happened after the game ended? I got a fucking leaver buster even when i recconected and finished the game. Riot plz figure out how to tell the players who dont intentionally leave and those who just rage quit. Honestly im not going to play until this is fixed. I conpletely agree with this guy
