Discussion about LeaverBuster and its MAJOR flaws

So, I've been put in the low priority queue after 1 left game which is Riot's fault, and they've even admitted to it. But my issue isn't with that it's with how LeaverBuster works and how random it is. I got a firewall error and it was un-avoidable, I understand why I was put in the low priority queue but I have friends that have gotten firewall errors and then been fine to play another game straight after or people who've left countless games and don't even get a warning. I'm not a repeat offender either and have had a clean record since s1. Also I've heard from people they've been banned for leaving a couple games due to their internet connection and then come back and left 10+ games and had no issues what so ever. In the past even I was able to leave games without even getting a warning even though I disconnected on my own volition. I wouldn't generally get mad at this but at the start of a season I'm locked from playing ranked properly for minimum 100 minutes. I did really well in my placements and went 8-2 only went up one division s5-s4 but it's gotten me grinding for gold and to be locked from playing right now is really aggravating.

Tldr: LeaverBuster system is completely random in its handouts of punishments and their severity.

Don't EVER reconnect after you get disconnected. If you fail to reconnect or get dced again, it counts as another leave.

Well I tried reconnecting 20-30 times. GG.

Wow Riot, way to punish the people who are trying not to let down their team because you can't make a program that doesn't crash constantly.

Meanwhile, that kid who ragequits because a level 2 tower dive went south gets the lowest possible punishment.

This is not true. Either the game is flagged as a leave or not.
