There need to be more Variables in Leaver Buster

First of all, I am not condoning people leaving the game, but second of all, the system is much to harsh to people it shouldn't be.

Now I know that there are people that rage quit in league, I'm not one of those and I'm not saying that they should not be punished. But honestly a pc crashes in a game with 4 friends all of them on skype saying "No biggy, we're winning anyway. Just join when you can." Where the player who wasn't even reported by anyone because their team won and the team with the leaver said "Don't report", and yet the system puts them into a ten minute low priority que, that right there is not in any way justified, and is only hurting that they would rather move onto the next game and have fun and instead are stuck waiting for ten minutes. It makes no sense that you can get Leaver Busted when you were in for over 2/3 of the game, on top of that you won, and finally playing with a group of people that feel your pain and just want to go again. There should a way for the people of the game to counter the decision by telling Riot that there was no malicious intent and that they don't want that person to be penalized over it.

In a ranked game sure that's a different story, but a 5 man blind pick team? that's way to harsh.

I want to suggest to Riot that we the members, and friends of people that leave games have a say in the matter of punishing someone.

Honestly, I think any premade 5s team should be responsible for disciplining the fifth player themselves, Not Riot. Ranked or otherwise. I mean... what if it was a group of five parents of small children who all got together so they could play in an environment with people who understand they might have to go to take care of a kid. Seems silly ot punish for that.

I also think that bot games should be exempt since the bot games account for leavers on their own.

The issue isn't with the occasional leave but a repeated pattern of leaving/dcing that can't be tolerated. If it's 1 or even 10x in say 100 games you're fine but if it's that 10x in 10 games there's a problem. The system already ahs built in leniency as it is so if you're getting hit by it then you need to fix what's causing the issue.

The issue with that is you're not just affecting yourselves but the other team as well since most people don't like 5v4's etc. In any case Riot's made their stance clear on this and they're not going to bend because then people will use the well it's my friends or someone will try and offer gifts in exchange for not being reported etc. There's also the issue that you might simply forget to report the person and they may skate through games that way affecting others.
