PSA: Rito won't give you your LP back

the weeaboo·Mar 13, 2017·13 votes·976 views

Over the years I've had issues loading into and disconnecting from games time and time again. Often after a new patch I will not be able to load in, take the L, lose LP, and get 5 leaver buster queues. It's vicious considering I have no control over this (internet is fine, computer fine, etc. The best I can do is initiate a full repair which takes 20k files and an hour of time to complete. A shame really.

Point is I've reached out to Riot describing my issue and asking to get out of LP and Leaverbuster. Every time I get the same copy paste response that they can't alter the database to do either of these things. So either they actually aren't able to, or aren't willing to do it for individuals because it's time consuming. I'm interesting in what they're going to do to deal with the widespread issue.

Actually the only ! comment they had at the time was talking about Shaco being disabled. It took them at least 30 mins after it messed my game up to even put up a warning. Don't assume people aren't reading. =)

Pretty sure it was here since 9-10 am west coast time. And people are still spamming threads even after riots warning, so no they aren't reading. =)

Many of the complaint threads mention disconnecting from multiple games.

As in, they continued queuing for ranked games even after being disconnected previously as a result of server issues.

They aren't the brightest of bulbs.

Many of the "leavers" ran into server side issues.

As in, Riot continued enforcing low priority queue even after admitting Riot itself was responsible for the problem.

Riot apologists aren't the brightest of bulbs.

I'm pretty sure the ! comment was only talking about Shaco being disabled. I know because I checked the server status after I was stuck in the black loading screen.

I don't think this is anything worth arguing over.
