Is there a problem with Leaverbuster? * /r/leagueoflegends

Saw a few people posting in Report a Bug with questions related to LeaverBuster notifications, Lyte posted a bit ago explaining why.

#Lyte: "There were some firewall and networking issues recently and we decided to turn LeaverBuster off to ensure that players were not mistakenly sent to low priority queue. When the server issues were fixed, we turned LeaverBuster back on, but the penalties weren't firing. As a result of this, we're seeing that some players who left/AFK'd in games after the firewall and networking issues resolved did not receive their penalty until this week. Sorry about the confusion! All low priority queue penalties should be granted immediately after leaving/AFK games now, instead of after a delay."

Doesn't matter, until you start weeding out trash players I will continue to leave after 20 if my team hasn't surrendered.

You know what's really frustrating about this?

The firewall issue isn't actually fixed. It took me 40 minutes to successfully login tonight.
