Leaver Buster Queue reset

Kenjirio·May 5, 2015·2 votes·2,268 views

Hey guys, So i'm a pretty new player at league, and I've noticed the Leaver Buster program that I find a good idea, well except for one part.

Maybe I haven't been leaving enough games, but from what I've noticed, the queue wait time stacks. This is a good intimidation to players who often rage and try to quit the game because things do go as they want, but it is also bad for people who have a bad internet connection (like me) and disconnects often.

Though i'm not particularly complaining about that part, I just want to suggest that there be a queue wait reset back to 5 mins after someone plays a certain amount of games, or they take off 5 mins for every X amount of games they play until it reaches 5 again. I haven't been in the queue for almost a month, but today i got a 10 minute one and i find that a bit unfair when i've completed alot of games successfully and get punished so much by just disconnecting by one not of my own fault.

Also, not sure if leaving a game is separate from disconnecting, but if it isn't it would be nice to separate them, but give the same punishment; so leaving the game queue wait stacks doesn't have relation to disconnect queue wait stacks but if the person has a higher leave queue stack than disconnect, they have to use the leave queue wait stack. If the disconnect is higher, then they use the disconnect. Not sure how viable that part is, but I was thinking of it in a way to prevent people from exploiting the leave of game for only a 5 min wait time and resets after they play a number of games. So basically after for example if they play 5 matches, they get a free leave (sorta, 5 mins isn't that long).

I hope you guys understand where i'm coming from, since i'm pretty bad at explaining things and tend to 'go around the bush'.

Also, there might be a system such as this already in place, but i'm not sure, maybe i didn't complete enough games.

Well for one in the leaver buster the program it tries to differentiate between someone quitting or someone disconnecting. Also as Lyte said on the boards sometime back (this got him quite a bit of flame), you shouldnt play Lol unless you know you have a good internet connection. Yes it may be a free to play game, but that is the point they only have so much money to out into servers and bandwith and the like. So it is partially on the player to secure a good internet provider and connection speed for themselves. I mean it could come down to just getting a better wireless LAN card, or adapter. Or it come down to... u cant get good internet in your area. But really what your suggesting, IMO, makes no sense at all, and if you dont even finish most of your games, maybe you shouldnt be playing LoL... not trying to be offensive, but as someone who has been playing since end of season 1, lvl 30 since beginning of season 2, i cant describe how hard it is to play a game when someone afk's or dc's.

It doesn't care why you disconnect actually. There si literally NO ATTEMPT WHATSOEVER made to differentiate. The only case they even consider occasionally is when THEIR server is having major issues. Basically if loss forgiven is on, you MAY not be counted as a 'leaver'.

But this stance of 'if you're not in the absolute perfect situation where nothing could possibly interrupt your VIDEO GAME, don't play lol' is why I quit the game. I AM in the perfect situation to play, but I think it's promoting a horrible mindset and an unhealthy level of obsession with the game.

But, that's irrelevent to the discussion... your first part WAS misinformation. Leaverbuster doesn't give a shit, and neither does Riot. They've gotten big enough now that their PB team doesn't give a shit about their players anymore so they'd rather people quit than try to play in non-ideal circumstances. Kinda sad, but that's the reality.

I do finish most of my games, but there is around a 30-50% chance of me disconnecting for a little while during it, though I normally don't disconnect, sometimes my internet just completely goes for no reason at all when i was getting a 90 ping (which is good for me) and I can't do anything about it. There is only 1 ISP here and they just mistreat us :/ Also if i disconnected from almost all my games i don't think i would have just a 10 minuite queue lol. But I try to avoid playing when I notice that the internet is slowing down anyway.

Its not my router, I just got a Asus N something i can't remember atm, but its a dual band and i'm normally on the 5ghz one.

But that aside, that isn't the point of the post, It is a suggestion that players don't have to experience a 1 hour wait time before playing a game because they disconnected once and the time was stacked before even if they played 20 games straight.

Also, how exactly does Leave Buster determine a disconnect from a leave? Because it is doing a pretty bad job at it so far, at least for me.
