Why Leavebuster is flawed, with points
Now I'm posting this in gameplay simply because this is more of a gameplay in general discussion rather then a bug or glitch.
We all know that the Leave Buster was designed to punish people for leaving in game. (Goes the game "Leave" Buster). During team selection people get punished by getting a time wait that goes from 5-10-20. So what's the difference you ask? Well when someone dodges a game they are punished by ONE game automatically, you don't get to report that person and you just get thrown in que again. In a Leave Buster Point of view, you are punished to wait for your NEXT five games BEFORE you are even thrown into a que waiting.
Now normally this all would seem fair to someone who would have to wait twenty minutes to surrender a game. It's happen to everyone at leave ONCE in their league career. However Riot developed a system called the "Remake" that enabled users to simply type /remake after 3mins of when someone who DIDN'T CONNECT.
The difference there is someone just didn't connect/loaded into the game. Could be due to a Firewall issue/Bugsplat<-(hate those with a passion/ Or perhaps a LATE dodge which is damn near impossible to due at that point.
With the remake system you are no longer really pushed for having to restart a game. You don't lose any LP but the user who dodged still gets hit with a leave buster. What makes it more harsh is the simple fact that you could of had literally a bug splat and proof behind it and on your FIRST offense get a leave buster penalty.
I have proven this and even tried an experiment on this using a brand new account just to TEST the theory. I was hit with a leave buster penalty on my first leave. So what am I getting at here?
Even if it's beyond your control, for the people who get patch issues and a actual BUG SPLAT, they are treated no different from a person who is actually leaving a game. The remake system itself was enough to really for people who didn't have to waste time.
And I can say I'm one of those people who were hit with this issue, I've sent tickets and logs to the riot crew even enjoyed a couple chats with them on twitter. But my concern is on one response they said the leave buster was out of their control...
And on one live stream I've had the issue happened and people basically went "GG". And I've never had as much issues with my client until we really hit the 9. phases of it since last month.
But I want everyone's feed back on this.
