The Leavebuster system is Unfair.

I think the system is too strict. I was playing a ranked game which I knew we would lose, because it was like 3 to 28. I was 2 kills 1 death, the best on our team. We were going to lose, and then that stupid attempting to reconnect sign came up. My internet failed for like 5 minutes, and when I finally fixed the internet I got back and played. We lost, and then then I was put in a lower priority queue. I got so mad. uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Cm on, I left a ranked game for 5 mins THAT WE WERE GONNA LOSE ANYWAY. sigh, rito pls.

Sorry, I will once again come to the defense of the system.

It's not fair to other players to have to play with someone whose connection isn't consistent. If you have that kind of connection, and you know it, then don't play. If you DON'T know it, then it probably hasn't happened before, and I can't imagine that a first-time offense gets you moved to low-priority queues.

I DO have connection issues OCCASIONALLY. But when I know I have them, I certainly don't play ranked. And that's it. No punishments.

First of all your assuming he knew.

Secondly, everyone knows Riots netcode is kind of shitty. It randomly gives random people issues that have nothing to do with the persons internet.

Getting lag sometimes is one thing, but I've never played a game that has such a penchant for out of the blue "Attempting to reconnect". I've had that, sit there forever it wont connect, exit out and try to relog, get 5-6 "game has crashed" messages before it actually works and lets me in. Leavebuster through no fault of my own.

Not saying the system overall isnt warrented, just that it should be tweaked somehow to accomodate people actually trying to get back in

Being in a lower queue due to Leaver Buster and being "silenced" for the duration (and your team being silenced as well...) straight up encourages afk behavior. Maximally counterintuitive.
