So i recently got into lower priority queue because i dced during a game... i feel that this is really unfair.Why would you have to wait 10 mins to start queue then be met up with stupid instalockers This is so stupid. just recently i waited 10 mins then riot decided to lag me out and i couldnt select a champ, therefore resulting in my waiting 10 more mins. riot if you want people to play your game then get rid of this punishment. its ruining league

No it's not. By playing league you agree to be there and work with your team, it's in the ToS AND the summoner's code. BY AFKing or DC'ing you do neither.

The system has a less than 1% false positive rate, so for one, you must have DC'd a lot. I DC in around 5% of my games and haven't gotten low priority yet. In the update post about it Riot also EXPLICITLY stated you will NEVER get put in low prioity for one game, ever.

Good try, though. If you wanna talk fair, leaving a game is way more unfair to your teammates than the punishment is to you.

Oh no, 10 minutes of yours where you have to do something else. That's so much more than the 30 minutes you just wasted for all the other players that were in that game. So unfair...to them.

If you ask me there needs to be even harsher punishments for AFKs. One person leaving a game for whatever reason ruins the experience of the 9 other people playing the game. Fix your connection or just stop playing because I don't want to play a 40 minute game just to get a guaranteed loss for not carrying with a man down.

What i think is that rito shuld just continue with the temporary bans for like a day but if someone leaves a game for the last 5-10 minutes of a game they shouldn't be penalized. Better Nerf UrgotUrgot

I started playing LoL recently, and I did PvP games as soon as I hit level 3. So I was on for a really long time. I quit mid-game because I just didn't feel like playing anymore. As a result I learned you weren't allowed to quit mid-game. Alright this is fine with me I'll try not to do it again. Yet the next day I sincerely had a blackout when there was 10 minutes left in the game. I got punished and I was really ticked off. That was yesterday the day of the black out. I just got disconnected from my game today 5 min ago which why is why I'm writing this. My internet connection is currently perfect 5 bars. So I checked the server status everything was on. My amiable team is going on without me and so I sit here trying again and again to get back on my game. To be honest I don't really want to play this game anymore if I'm going to be wrongfully punished.

It is unfair, I have to wait 20 minutes to get into a game cause riot servers said I have no internet when I do how is that my fault I know that if annoys other players but I spent 14 mins tryin g to get in to the game and than when I go in I tried to catch up, and we would have won if riot was like nope you have no internet again. Now I have to sit for 5 games and wait 20 mins when I could be playing, this is infant in my eyes as I didn't have any control of it

Leaver Buster is bullshit, it does nothing with real afkers but pisses off people with technical difficulties.
