I recently got a 5 game lower priority que for leaving 1 ranked game and no previous games left at least over the past week, normally this wouldn't bug me but then i reilized it was 20 minutes of waiting for 1 game, so is that hour and 40 miniutes of waiting total a fair punishment? (My leaving had 0 affect on the game outcome, we had no chance of a comeback)
Chickenlitte3 votesYes you do deserve it. Ranked is for people who want to take the game seriously and by leaving you affected 9 people who may have gained/loss lp that they shouldn't have.
ArrowPvP1 votesIt was 20 minutes in with the enemy lead of 27 to 5, we had 1 turret that had 8 turrets and 2 inhibs, reallyt didint affec the game at all
Truly Prideful1 votesSo just stay 5 more minutes until the game ends and not get the penalty for it. If it was that out of reach then it was more than likely going to end soon.
ArrowPvP1 votesI wouldve done that, but I had to get off at the last second due to my siter needing to use the pc.
Aerothal2 votesi just reread this. you havent left a game for "at least over the past week"?!? WTF is wrong with you? I have played since season 2 and left maybe 3 or 4 games total, each for something out of my hand like ISP outage, Power outage a tornado warning, etc. There is no justification in just leaving! I wish the system would punish scumbags like you harsher. 5 games...that's ridiculously low!
ArrowPvP1 votesWell I havent left a game since around the first couple of weeks in jan, and i already got a punishment for that a while ago

I think it's important to recognize that you didn't receive this LPQ for a single game. It takes rather more than a week for the system to ignore prior leaves.
ArrowPvP1 votesThe last game i left before today resulted in the same punishment i have now, and that was around the middle of jan
Jubbinaut1 votesSo just a hair more than a month ago. That's at least on the timescale we're talking about, here.
I used to advise people who were banned by the old Leaverbuster that, to drop their leaver level, they needed to avoid leaving or afking for at least 8 months to hit the next lower tier. With the new Leaverbuster, that may be excessive (at least while you're still only getting LPQs), but I think it should still serve as a solid baseline.
Bresn1 votesIkr.
Aerothal1 voteshope you learned not to leave! This system is awesome! There is always a hope of comeback, even in the most dire situation. you weren't willing to wait for the outcome of the game, now you have to wait to get in! that's great!
THANK YOU, RIOT!!!
