Ok so I just q up for a game and it's going fine right until my computer crashes I try as hard as I can to turn on my computer and it won't turn on so I have to wait about 5 minutes which is a lot of game time and I come back to the game after 10 minutes l think that we should change the leaver buster to only punish the people that had intent on leaving, like if I purposely leave the game and wait the five seconds then yea I deserve it but if my computer crashes then is it really fair that I get a leaver buster? Pls fix this plsplspls

How is the client going to know that you set down the game intentionally versus disconnected? No one ever just hits "Exit Game," and if they knew the Leaverbuster was going to give them a freebie if the client shuts down, they'll just Ctrl-Alt-Delete it.

Leaverbuster is there to catch not only intentional leavers, but those with frequent connection/technical issues as well. This is completely intended by Riot as leaving is leaving, regardless of the reason. It doesn't matter whether you left intentionally or not, you still left your team in a 4v5 situation for an extended amount of time, which ruins the game.

Now, notice how I said "frequent connection/technical issues." Leaverbuster is actually quite lenient at first, and you won't be punished for just one or two leaves. You get punished when you show a pattern of leaving an unacceptable amount of games. If all of your recent leaves have been due to technical issues like your computer crashing, then it's up to you to figure out what's causing it and find a solution before you queue up for anymore games.
