Riot, please remove the five minute Leaverbuster auto-kick
I am referring to the Leaverbuster auto-kick which happens when the game thinks you have been idle for five minutes.
Why? Well, I am sure everyone has experienced that moment when your game crashes or DCs, and Leaverbuster incorrectly thinks that you are still connected and simply idling. After multiple attempts to reconnect, your game finally goes through! ...but then you get booted by Leaverbuster because of this five minute timer.
I don't understand the reasoning behind this idle kick. Besides Leaverbuster reading players incorrectly, it makes no sense to make an AFK player to AFK even longer by closing their game and forcing them to reload.** It doesn't punish the player, it only punishes their team even more by increasing the duration of their absence.**
Secondly, when situations like a false idle happen, it inevitably affects people who have slower computers/internet connections more than others-- before I upgraded to my current computer, it would take maybe two minutes to load the game. When you take into account multiple attempts to reconnect during server or client-side internet issues, this time can easily reach five minutes. And all the while, Leaverbuster thinks you are just idling.
Please do away with this feature, Riot. Even when it's working properly, it still doesn't make sense.
