Leaver Buster

I really enjoyed playing this game with my boyfriend ,whom I live with, until my recent leaver ban. I have only left two games- one because my internet cut out in my area and the other because the game crashed on the loading screen. For both of these, my boyfriend was also booted of of the game. He has also left a few games voluntarily. After my first leave because of the internet I received a level one leaver penalty. I e-mailed Riot about it via this site and was told nothing could be done about it. The next day I queued for a game with my boyfriend, the game crashed on the loading screen for both of us. We both then relogged, and finished the game. Afterwards I received a notice from Leaver Buster stating that my account was banned for a day, yet my boyfriend has received nothing. No level one penalty or anything. I once again e-mailed Riot and was told nothing could be done about it and that an automated system was the one that sent out the bans and penalties. The game is fun, but under no circumstance would I waste money on a game that would ban me for it crashing, or on a game that does not distribute these bans evenly if that is how they choose to operate their systems. I am more than likely deleting this game and I cannot imagine myself ever playing another Riot game if you do not change your banning system.

I disagree - if anything the Leaver Buster should be more stringent. Nothing is more demoralizing than when someone has a poor connection, leaves, afk's, etc. This game is such (for the most part) that 4v5 is far to great of an obstacle to over come.

This happened to me also. I agree 100% with the OP. This Leaver Buster has to be trashed.

Like honestly that's fucking life though. Why make a big fucking deal of AFKs and leavers? The odds are it will even up. It will happen to you and to your opponent equally. What about the beautiful 4v5 wins or 3v5 amazing conquests? Seriously, there is so much fucking babying in league for the longest time it's disgusting.

The LeaverBuster is a geared towards thinking in my understanding, if you are new and leave a lot of games whether on purpose or not (it ruins the experience for your teammates whether or not it was your fault it crashed).

Your boyfriend is most likely a higher level (30) with lots of games played, so the system is more Leann-ant because he has a longer track record and a better one. You are level 10 with a much smaller track record according to leaver buster so it looks upon you much as a rage quiter or such.

The point is, your fault or not, your crashing is causing your teammates to suffer because of it, so you are punished. Check the forums etc. for help on how to prevent crashing if possible.

Is your computer a potato that causes League to crash? Or is it just a buggy client?

I have a brand new mac book. Great internet service. The game crashed while in the summoner loading screen. Not only did I wait. But I got back to my team in 15 min. We inevitably loss but the fact of the matter is I came back. I didn't leave my team to hang dry. it was the LoL servers connection. I don't feel I should be punished for this. but of course now I am banned for LoLs servers crash. I sincerely think you consider taking a look into this banning system riot. Now I'm banned till tomorrow. Granted its not a long band. but I have the day off and was looking forward to playing all day. You've ruined that. I sincerely think you should consider looking into changing the banning system. Im such a frequent player and rarely does it happen.
