People complaining about the Leaverbuster notification.........

I'm getting tired of seeing people complain about a simple notification that actually seems to be working with the amount of posts on the boards about it. Lyte made this post in one of those threads saying this:

"Just to clarify a few points, the first time you leave on an account you will get the "I Agree" notification.

This is a one-time thing per account, and happens regardless of it being a low level game, high level game, a DC or intentional leave. However, this one-time notification has nothing to do with a punishment or the status of your account. It's literally just a notification that leaving/AFKing in League is bad.

If you chronically leave/AFK in games following the notification, it is possible to receive penalties. The notification is just for us to ensure that players know the potential penalties before they chronically leave dozens of matches. After the one-time notification, we do tune the system so that most players who have the rare DC or emergency won't ever see a penalty--only players who leave strings of matches in a frequent pattern will see low priority queue."

In which he proceeded to get downvotes and people started replying saying things such as, "It shouldn't be repeated more than one time" and "How many leaves does it take to get this message" and more questions and statements that were answered in Lyte's post in which they proceeded to get upvotes..............it REALLY goes to show how many people actually read the message Lyte posted and just joined the downvote/upvote train and how much this voting system really works. He said in his post that this happens the FIRST time you ever leave a match and it you only get the message ONCE. He mentions in this post that after you get this message that the system is tuned to not put you in the low priority queue if you just have the rare DC or emergency and only will get put in the queue if you consistently leave matches. I have not once ever seen a person that has posted on here complaining about a simple message that warns you about DC'ing come back and complain about being in low priority queue.

The message is there for people who may not be active forum goers that read everything Riot posts on the boards regarding things such as the new Leaverbuster system. The other more obvious reason is as a scare tactic which is obviously working with how many people are complaining about getting this message. I don't know about you but I would rather have a player get that message and actually give some thought about going in on his next match because his internet might be shaky or any reason rather than that person not giving 2 shits and going in on his next match anyways. The other majority of the community is complaining about having to type in "I agree" rather than click a button. HOW LAZY ARE YOU? xD xD xD Is it that big of a deal?

My 2 cents,

and since I just proved the downvote/upvote train actually exists, will people start reading posts and thinking before using that button? k, thanks. Oh and I bolded parts of Lyte's message for those of you who still seem to not be able to read through a post, your welcome.

Thanks for the PSA sir, I agree.

I agree with what you're saying but I also disagree. My major issues are that someone with crappy internet/buggy client is able to accidentally end up with a lot of leaves without their control, therefor being placed in low priority. My other issue is that, while it may sound like it's a thing saying "Leavivng is bad, you can be punished", I seriously have an issue with the wording, because it comes across at least to me as "Do you agree to never, under any circumstance, leave the game? As in, if your house is on fire and you're being robbed, do you agree to NOT LEAVE A GAME?" The way it comes across is that you are being forced to agree on something completely out of your control.
