LeaverBuster_Unfair/Unreasonable?

Introducing the new LeaverBuster system!

Recently I have encountered the relatively new 'leaver buster' system. Most agree that this system has positively affected the penalty of 'afkers' and general 'ragers' that leave games as it eliminates the need for the Tribunal to run through cases and it ensures that game-leaves are punished. However, I don't think it is entirely clarified as to how this system works. If someone leaves once in twenty or so games (like myself) for Real Life Emergencies, are they always penalized? If so, I find it rather unfair for the system to do so; most disconnections and other reasons for leaving aren't because in-game issues, and on the occasion that they are, rarely do they not reconnect at some point prior to the outcome. I think adjustments are in need for this system because it has major flaws regarding people who do not make this game **their life **and put it before things more important; especially in low-elo and normal games where obviously the worst that the loss of a player could do it make the game less-fun, but that's life. If a 'Rioter' could clarify on how this system really works I would appreciate it and if there are any further plans to change it. Feel free to comment on my thoughts.

I agree this needs to be changed but in a different way. I get chat restrictions DURING CHAT RESTRICTIONS for getting reported for failing to communicate with team. Above that chat restrictions are just stupid in general. All it should really be is not allow all chat because stopping you from working with your team to win is just ridic, esp for 20 MORE GAMES WTH.

I think leavebuster could change. it obviously cannot tell the different between when someone leaves and comes back, someone leaving indefinitely, and someone leaving because of other problems (eg emergencies, server problems) Granted i might be biased, but ive only been hit by Leave Buster once and that was when my computer decided to crap on me. nothing happen aside from that text about not leaving, but after that nothing happen. I think it does know when people have those one few slip ups, but after that i think it takes it as a serious consequence which i think is good. because it would seem like you are leaving too many games for no reason. And if you are queuing up for games despite having servers problem that are hitting you hard, or you are having to leave for emergencies way too often it would just be wise to not play this game for the time being!

I completely aggree, also I think leaverbuster should be changed to wear if your client freezes, or dc's in the middle of champion select, you shouldn't be penalized for that. I've had plenty of instances where I've had to wait because I had to restart my client due to it not responding (granted 5 minutes isn't much time, but say it happens 2 times in one day, that's 25 total minutes you'd have to wait) and also how if you do have to wait due to these kinds of issues, you're banners were stripped. the honor system is almost obsolete these days because almost everyone has had instances where their client froze, they had to dodge queue, ect. and then they lose the banners, which were honestly pretty cool. Imo the tribunal needs to be brought back.
