FYI --- It is better to AFK and never come back than Disconnecting and Reconnecting to the same game

I thought I would share with you the results of an experiment. In order to test out Leaverbuster, all true AFK's were compared to those who disconnect, but reconnect later in order to see which would warrant a suspension first.

Much to my surprise, the account with the higher "leaver level" was the account wherein one disconnects but reconnects either immediately or within minutes. I can only hazard a guess as to why this is --- each individual disconnect counts towards your leaver level. This means that disconnecting and reconnecting to a game is apparently worse than just straight up AFKing.

On top of that, the account that actually tries to come back to a game it had disconnected from was struck with a larger suspension than the straight AFK account.

Anyway, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up in order to protect you from getting fucked out of the blue by a flawed system like this one.
