Have not AFKd in months, and now this.

One, single game in months, and my fucking sister got off work early and no one else is capable of driving her but me, of course. So I go and pick her up, come back to a losing game (what a fucking surprise, they had GP and Win Nhao), and I now have a queue for who knows how many games.

Thanks Rito. Way to say fuck off to anyone who has a life outside of gaming.

What do you want Riot to do? They must treat leavers the same regardless of the reason, because it is simply impossible for them to determine the real reason you left. If you play enough without leaving your leaver status will diminish. Sometimes I have my internet or power go out, but I take every possible precaution to avoid it, and I leave so infrequently that I've never been penalized.

I have no leaver status. I've been notified so many times that my account has improved, even though I haven't left a game or AFKd for 6-7 months. And then this.

So, yeah, even though I never leave games, I get a queue on the first time. ^^

I left a game a month ago, nothing happened.

If you have a low priority queue then you definitely are marked as a leaver. If you have questions about the system I suggest submitting a ticket, but they will not change your status or remove the penalty.

Oh I know they won't. They can't be bothered to manually moderate anything, as that's too spendy for Rito's starving wallet. Doesn't mean it isn't bullshit.

What do you want them to do, go to your house and interview witnesses to verify you left for the reasons you claim? Or do you want them to just not punish anyone for leaving as long as they give an excuse? I don't understand what you think they could or should do here.

Realize that, you know, gaming is not life, and League is not a sport, no matter how much they wish it was, and that sometimes people have to walk away from a game because reality is calling.

Putting someone in a low priority queue for going AFK for five minutes in one game is just absurd.

Use team viewer to control the game from your phone which I've done before so I don't get penalized when I afk all the time.
