Ever since patch 5.1 I've been having ridiculously high ping, low FPS, and disconnects with the firewall bug. It has only gotten worse on patch 5.2. The servers need more matienence, LeaverBuster needs to be disabled, and ranked needs to be disabled. I'm not going to tolerate another penalty for issues with YOUR servers. I disconnected from my game as of right now, and am currently unable to log back in.

Remlap12231 votesThat's kinda what happened. I had to completely quit out, and relogin and everything. I'd be a lot less pissed about this, but I recently got the low priority queue LeaverBuster penalty from this (which is bullshit, it's actually just a timed penalty before they actually queue you in a game), and I'm sure a ban is coming next. It infuriates me. It's either ridiculous imbalance, or server shit. Riot just cannot keep their shit together, and it's causing me to lose my hair.

You don't get penalized for DC / AFK in Vs. Bots. Players are also less likely to report you.
