AFK or Leaverbuster bans seems to be unfair to some people of lower ages

The problem is players around 6-18 years old still lives with their family, and sometimes they gotta leave game or AFK because of some family manners. I know some players even told me play only if you have atleast 1 hour of free time. But sometimes things just pops up and you don't know it. I'm only 14 years old and i live with my family, sometimes when i started playing league my parents make me do stuff. I know, why don't finish your chores first then play. But the task that my parents give out are ridiculous and when I joined a match or about to play a game or mid game they just tell me to do stuff out of no where. This isn't really fair to us if we keeping getting banned for something that others around us is doing it. I asked my friends at school too and they said it happens to them too and they always get leaverbuster and had to wait 5.10,20 minutes every queue they joined.

Sounds like you need to come to an agreement with your parents, not have Riot fix your problems. Have a mature discussion with them about it. Explain that by joining a game, you're making a commitment to 9 other players that you're going to be there for the duration of the game, and that that could require upwards of an hour of your time to fulfill that commitment.

Depending on how your parents are, you might need to approach it differently, but a few ideas include

  • Negotiate a set time or times of the day where they'll allow you to play uninterrupted.
  • Negotiate a policy with them that you won't play until you pre-assigned chores are done. Then, if there's something else they need you to do but you're in a game, you agree to get up and do it immediately after you finish that game.
  • Set up an agreement that when you want to play, you'll let them know ahead of time. If there are any chores they want you to do soon, that is their opportunity to tell you, and then you agree to complete those before starting This then follows with the strategy above where if they have nothing for you immediately, there's an understanding that if something comes up during the game, you'll get to it immediately after the game is over

These are just some ideas. Maybe you can come up with an offer of your own. And I can't promise any of these will work, but it's worth a try.

LOL no. I'd rather you suffer then have 9 out of the 10 players suffer.

Perhaps you should talk to your parents before you play then. Explain to them the situation, and ask if there is anything that needs to be done before you start playing so you'll have an hour to play uninterrupted. And once you finish that game, go check with them before you just into the next one.
