Remember when back in the day when a server had the slightest of issues, Rito would give everyone like a 4 win/10 win IP boost if things got really bad. Pepperidge Farm remembers. Now we get a 4 win IP boost for securing our accounts and for being good for a whole year. Well at least the servers are stable...item 3070 item 3070

Back in days there weren't as many players and they didn't have to manage much. If you are a student, i bet you always complain about how much homework you get..imagine i gave you 10x more. Because the thing is, the server is heck a lot bigger than it used to be and if they gave you boosts every time something went wrong you would always have double ip. And that is something you can't avoid in programming. likelyhood of error increases as your code gets bigger. And i think "being a good player" is way better than just giving it to people that don't even deserve it.

Read these parts from the LeaverBuster, and i find myself agreeing with them. Simply don't afk or leave. If it is an emergency or you simply have to, then go for it. Nothing will happen UNLESS you quit multiple times in small time frame. And i have a lot of games where my teammates leave or other enemy leaves and both cases..that game is not fun anymore. Other stuff..i don't know, because besides the giveaway they had in the past, we both have no evidence to debate on this issue lol

Riot: Outside your control or not, if you leave the game you're leaving your team at a disadvantage. Having a constant amount of leavers means other people in your team get annoyed, and quite often people quit due to the annoyance it causes.

Riot: This system was implemented after months of requests from the community to combat leavers - and this is the response.

I don't play ranked much or draft pick because i hate pick order..i have lost numerous times because i end up being support..so i didn't know that it was more serious there. But according to FAQ from riot. LeaverBuster may change, and i'm sure they will fix things up. I wouldn't expect something new to be released and be perfect right of the bat.

They have more than enough money to make more servers, but they don't want to. That's how you control your consumers- their amount of time with your product.

If you play and play and play without interruption, you'll get tired of it. So, in order to prevent that, they disrupt service either intentionally or do not fully prevent further interruptions.

That way, you're upset about not being able to play, and feel that you have to validate that feeling by playing. Playing afterward is like keeping a promise, you feel obligated and required and bound to it.

The best way to keep your customers is to get them addicted and to just barely give them enough.

Riot realized this a long time ago and will never give us all what we want. They'll give us what they think we want, what their superiors say we want, and what they want.

Occasionally those three might overlap with what we as a community desire.

But the age of this community being wholesome ended with its popularity. Like everything, it's corrupt and no longer a safe place.

Later.

That's what you get for saying "Who cares about EUW" for the entire Season 3 and 4!

EU servers seem to be fine, so Riot fucked up with the NA maintenance apparently
