Rito You Suck

Y0sh··1 votes·480 views

Okay, so the other day I was playing league at one of my friends houses. His internet isn't the greatest and crapped out on us mid game. I also had a previous issue a few months ago with my PC shutting down because of a faulty battery. I obviously got reported and that's fine I understand the point of reports for people afking (I do it as well). So I get leaverbustered for 20 minutes. For the next five games I have to wait almost 2 HOURS for reasons that are not my fault, but also my client skipped my queue pop when I was with my friends to make me wait ANOTHER 20 minutes to play a game of league of legends.

I'm sorry but leaverbuster is an incredibly inefficient way to punish people that leave games. Specifically when it's a connection issue or faulty machinery as in my case. I don't know what an alternative would be but this is bullshit. And this needs to be fixed ASAP because I've invested a lot of my time and money into this game, and now LOL is taking me to pleasure town without consent. Riot needs to start worrying about the average player rather than the .05% that's in challenger. Thanks for punishing a loyal LOL player since season 2.

That wait time is basically to say "you have a problem and here's some time to spend fixing it". Connection issues are a problem to everyone on your team, not just you, so it's kind of your responsibility to look into the problem and fix it.

I understand your point, however, his broadband bandwidth isn't capable of sustaining multiple PCs playing a connection based game. I could understand a flat hour and 40 minutes because I can do something in the meantime.

If it can't sustain it then don't play.

That's a very blunt and immature way of looking at it. When you invest into this game as much time as I have that's not necessarily an option. As well as I was at one of my friends houses with 4 of my other friends playing this game, we were there to play League with each other, drink some beers and have a good time. I do not have connection issues when I'm in my apartment because I'm connected directly to my router. So this was an entirely isolated instance.

It's hardly immature. If you can't keep a solid internet connection, and therefore not ruin games for your team members, you shouldn't be playing at that time, or in your case with everyone on a weak connection.

Sure, it doesn't perfectly apply to your situation since your entire team has the same connection, but it's a blanket policy from Riot. Whenever you try to cover everything there will always be situations that don't match the norm and are punished anyway. It's an unfortunate but necessary evil.

That's all I'm saying, that it's wrong... It's hardly fair to punish people for bad internet. We all got bills to pay and punishing someone who has to have meh Internet to make ends meet shouldn't be punishable.

Yes, it is hardly fair to punish people for bad internet. You should stop punishing 4 other players with your bad internet.

You should read the previous comments and understand it's not my internet. Thanks for trolling, have a nice day
