Penalize players based on player's reports, not LeaverBuster.

EverTokki··2 votes·423 views

Personally, I've been having bad internet. Not that I can't get connected every game, but many of the games. (The firewall error keeps popping up while I do not have any firewalls/anti virus programs). Still, LeaverBuster penalises me for it, even if it is a coop vs ai match and our team wins. I know I am a burden for my team once I'm afk, but I can't connect to game while most of my custom games connect well.

You guys say to check your connection by custom games. I connect to them fine. I get in normal/coop vs ai queue. I don't get into game. I get penalised, no matter how good our team does. I know I've done no good, but I believe that an automated system that penalises you hard every time you afk no matter what the reason is, is not the ideal way to deal with afk'ers nor people who have bad internet.

You guys should create a report button like the one you have on the report screen that you can report afk'ers separately (separate from the report button because tribunal's been long gone) so that the team can decide rather if the person gets a penalty or not, because human eyes and thoughts are still accurate than automated robots.

no thanks, Id rather not have afk punishments left up to people believing someones sob story.

Leaverbuster is just as much about stopping people who disconnect frequently as it is to stop people from rage quitting. If you are getting leaverbuster punishments you need to be changing something before you queue again, not just hopping your connection issue goes away.

There is really no reason to have people judging this, leaving is very binary and accuracy has never been an issue of leaverbuster.

I'm not saying the person who had to be afk needs to reason to the team in such a way like "hey guys i got real bad internet and i might dc, so pls don't report me" (well sadly that is very likely to happen). However rather than right-up penalising whoever who has a bad connection once or twice a month, someone who just rage quits needs to have a difference. I also agree that if someone's dc'ing quite a number of games, yes they need to be punished as severe as rage-quitters, since it's no difference.

If you want to hear me qq'ing, you can. I don't really have any control over the ISP I'm getting, nor any way to better my internet. That's a really lame excuse, I know, but my internet works fine in some times of the month and worse in other. I get penalties because I believe LeaverBuster resets every month, however I disconnect a game once now and then. It's totally random, so I don't know when it's gonna not connect me to the game nor I can go into a custom game every time because it's time-consuming. I just wanted to get the fact out that for light 'not connected' players, there needs to be a way for them to avoid harsh punishment.

Sorry if my writing's all over the place; I'm just frustrated because it's exam week and I haven't played League in for so long so I've tried to play but can't connect to a freaking game. :/

Binary? There are things that are completely unavoidable to everyone. One time my dorm building had a fire alarm go off and I had to leave for 8 minutes from an ARAM game while queued with 4 of my friends. My friends all knew what the problem was and I came back and ended up carrying my team for the win. What do I get for going 12-11-22 in a game with a party full of friends? 20 minute low priority for 10 games. That is unacceptable if you ask anyone with half a brain. I'm with EverTokki. You should have to be reported by a couple of your teammates before leaver buster kicks in.

Yes things happen to everyone, but you don't get leaverbuster punishments for 1 leave. There is built in leniency expecting everyone to have occasional issues. If you are getting punished by leaverbuster those "rare occurances" are not too frequent and you need to be changing something before you continue to queue. Maybe you need to talk to your ISP, maybe you need to change ISP, reformat etc. Maybe you are just planning poorly and need to pay more attention to how much time you have to play when you are thinking of queuing up.

You didn't get a 20 minute leaverbuster because your fire alarm went off and you missed 8 minutes, you got a 20 minute leaverbuster because you frequently leave. That one incident was just the final straw.

It doesn't require reports because afk punishments are about more than the single incidents but rather how likely you are to leave in the future.

well, it may be unfortunate, but what you are doing is one of the things leaverbuster exists to prevent. You are just queuing up knowing you have crapping internet hopping that you don't disconnect.
