AFK buster when playing with only your friends??

When I play league I seldom play with strangers (on my team). I mostly play with the same group of five friends. They know I have connection errors sometimes but they play with me regardless. If sometimes I cannot connect to the game for ~5 mins I believe they are the only ones being affected in a negative manner but they still choose to play with me. However, we continuously have to wait 5+ mins before starting a game now due to by inactivity. I feel like I'm being punished for nothing. If my friends start a 5s norm game with me I think the fact that they play with me should void me from any leaver buster, it's like they'er getting punished too because they mostly play with me and have to wait. My internet goes up and down sometimes and I wouldn't do this to other strangers ruining their experience but it's pretty annoying when I'm playing with my friends yet I still get busted.

I'll be honest.. If I'm playing 5v5 normals and my lane opponent was gone for the first 5 minutes i pretty much autowon lane just because I'm there and you're not... that isn't fun at all and that depletes the point of playing normals for fun. It isn't just about you and your teammates it's also about your opponents having fun and that unfair advantage takes the fun out

You are also ruining the game for the 5 opponents.

5v4's in your favour are no fun at all.

This actually sounds fair so I'll give you a bump.

For solutions: Maybe if you play in a full group it just flags you as a "leaver" so everyone can see, but doesn't give you the prison island treatment like it would if you weren't in a full party. If there are downsides to that besides the coding that would have to go in to it, someone should bring it up.

Another thing is also if we play ranked 5s screwing around, I doubt the opposing team would be disappointed with a free win but I still get busted.

I think you should be able to opt of LeaverBuster if you are doing a full pre-made.

I got a warning about not leaving games, even though I didn't leave or AFK. Me and my friends have been practicing a strat on TT that leaves me underfarmed so we can have two solo lanes, while I work on Altar control and bouncing to lanes and assist. I'm worried about even playing now because I don't want to get my account banned just for this.

I can understand in a Solo Queue how you don't want people messing up the games but for a full pre-made it makes no sense. Considering that the person leaving those games will be under peer pressure to stop (or risk not being invited any more).

@OP The bottom line is you disconnecting. Rito is not going to make special exceptions for the minority. Figure out a way to stop the disconnecting, or suffer the consequences. The onus is on you, not Rito.
