Is this really a fair punishment?

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)

Yes 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.

i 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!

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.

hope 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!!!
