Just a question. I'd prefer a definitive answer ("10-20 in a row") and not something ambiguous like "you shouldn't leave"; It's kind of evident you shouldn't, but sometimes it's difficult to avoid, either out of frustration or because the disabled person in your household had chest pains.

Supreme Senpai692 votesI've left 5-6 games within a ten game span and didn't get punished (I got leaverbuster, but duh.) For some reason I kept bugsplatting, and Riot Support just refused to help me. Took around 7 minutes to come back into the game. Issue randomly went away too, hrm. Point is that 5-6 games in the same day won't get you punished.
I saw a video of somebody with a 0% winrate across like... 400 games, actually. He hadn't gotten banned at all despite trolling with TK and Anivia and Trundle to kill his allies every game. I think they only punish when it's SUPER obvious. Like, if you leave and are 5 levels below everyone? Probably punished. If you leave and come back and are the same level? Probably good.
I know you want a definitive answer but one doesn't exist. Riot is VERY secretive with that and for good reason. If they say "100 games," suddenly everybody is going to AFK 99 games and know they are fine.
Baaasically... as long as it's not a habit you're fine, trust me, I've had to leave a LOT of games due to various issues and I've never been punished across several years.
nm10101 votesAs far as I can tell as long as you play through the leaverbuster you will just continue to receive leaverbusters and not bans. This is ~6 leaverbusters deep over the course of a year on my "I might have to go soon" account.
