Leaverbuster a little harsh?

So last night I had the misfortune of having the power shut off in the middle of the night and had to leave a game. So i walked away and went to bed. Today I find that Leaver buster got me and I had to type "I Agree" to not leave games. This is the only game that has legitimately been a leave that wasn't on Riot's fault (bugsplats, failure to connect, load in with nothing but the map). I'm not here to so much bash leaver buster, but this is my first one and I got tagged and thats the problem. I don't leave games I start and I got hit.

SO my question, Is leaverbuster to harsh or did I just get a bad draw? No punishment or anything given, just the quick response for 1 leave.

If you do not leave often leaver buster won't mess with you, it is intended for constant leavers, that is my understanding.

If you don't leave games consistently then its not a problem. The system doesn't try to find the cause of the DC but it's trying to find people that DC constantly.

It doesn't flag you for not loading you have a time limit to get back into the game. If you go past that time limit the problem is assumed to be on your end and you are flagged. If it is constant you will get flagged more until you fix your connection. It is a measure to make the game fair for others. A 5 minute DC is not my idea of a good game, you are under level when you return and under cs, and more than likely your tower has taken damage making the game harder on everyone. Unless leaver forgiveness is active for a problem on Riot's side, that is the way it should be.

I didn't even leave my game and I got it.

[edit] Thought you were the op my bad... If that happened tooth then you need to submit a ticket. If there is a bug Riot will want to fix it, and they can go over your record to see if you did or didn't dc and find out if Leaver buster did or did not flag you.

No, bug splat doesn't mean it is Riot, I know this because it happens to me when it is my issue. Normally I drop my connection and it happens to me.

With that many things running it may just be that they are taking up too much bandwidth from LoL at that time.

I figured this wasn't a QQ thread, it looked like you wanted some help in terms of leaver buster, I never took you wrong.
