Leave Buster Suggestion
**Without going through all the flaws of Leave Buster I'd like to make a suggestion. The way Leave Buster is set up to my understanding is that if you don't get any experience in a certain amount of time the system flags you as AFK.
While this is a simple system to flag people who get mad and AFK or people just who rage quit and leave the game, it also affects players who have -**
-Client Problems -Emergencies -Internet Problems -Riot Server Problems -Computer Problems -etc
**To me that seems like a problem. While I understand that you have to get flagged a couple times frequently in order for your account to get a suspension, things do happen such as.. A new patch comes out and every time you go to play a game you get server issues or client patch issues that affect your performance and game play and force someone to try to reconnect or figure out the problem which always isn't a quick fix. Also adding in the fact that some people get bug splats, an emergency comes up or something just happens that is out of your control.
I've mention this a few times but I don't think I ever made a thread about it so this is my suggestion. For the players don't play a lot or are lucky enough to not get emergencies or have top of the line computers & connections that never mess up this will have no affect on you.
The New Leave Buster System-
When a player on your team is idle for 5 minutes + or what ever Leave Buster is currently set to (not gaining experience) a player will be tagged at the end of the game. After the game is over, a pop up message will come up to players on your team letting them know the player on their team was idle for more then the length period of time allowed for not gaining experience/being idle.
If your team decides to flag you than you will get the same as if you were flagged by Leave buster the old way. If you say no the player will not be flagged at all and it will not count against the player.
This would be a more fair system in the sense that now your team is in control if you get flagged or not by leave buster if you are idle more than 5 minutes or whatever Leave Buster is set to as opposed to an automated system that does not let you explain why you where idle for that time or accounts for the fact you got back in game and helped your team win.
I also think it would also help with toxicity.. I can be toxic sometimes but I'm human. Knowing that if I get a problem to where I am idle for more than the time allowed, My fate would rest in my team mates hands and being toxic would hurt any chance of me not getting flagged.
It's something to think about because I see people besides myself complaining about leave buster affecting them even when it wasn't intentional which is what Leave Buster was intended for (Intentional AFKs and Leavers) and the Leave Buster system the way it is now, does not account for client problems beyond a persons control nor does it take into account if the player makes it back in game and helps their team win.
It is also technically a reward for a player not to be toxic if he wants his team to take pity on him and not flag him for afking/leaving a game.
*Note: As far as I know this system couldn't be abused by trolls because you would already have to get tagged by the idle timer before your team could vote to flag you , This just gives an option for allowances by your team which it affects if they still win and being AFk or Leaving didn't affect them. * **
