Leaverbuster screwing alot of people over (Needs changes)

Thats Frosty··1 votes·679 views

So just reading through the boards for a bit, I noticed alot of the same issue, leaverbuster suspending accounts due to dcing. Now this is an issue you guys are fully aware of and posted up in the Help & Support section (You even stickied it) but have made no attempts at fixing leaverbuster to address the situation. If I player dcs, but reconnects and finishes the game (Plays for at least 10 minutes after reconnecting) YOU SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED. Your player base should not be getting shafted because of an issue on your end. Getting suspended because you dc from a ranked game, cant reconnect, reconnect 10 minutes later, make an effort to play the game out, and STILL GET BANNED? this is not acceptable

The fact of the matter is that you're forgetting the important part. That leave that caused you to get banned, it wasn't your first leave. It was the last one that broke the camel's back, so to speak. You are given a set amount of leniency and you used it up. If you're queuing up after knowing you're having issues staying connected to your games, then you deserve to be punished for it. Regardless of whether or not you reconnect, your absence has already given the enemy an advantage. (Whether they capitalize upon that advantage doesn't matter.)

I would also ask that you provide a link to prove that this "problematic issue" had been posted and officially recognized the issue. It is common knowledge that if you DC, leaverbuster is going to do its job and it's going to do it more effectively when it comes to ranked games.

I just want to say, this is my absolute favorite metaphor for Leaverbuster. The banned player tends to be extremely focused on that last straw, and where it came from. Everyone else - from Riot to the people listening to him complain - tends to be more focused on all the bales the poor camel was already carrying.

It's just... it's such a perfect metaphor. That's all I wanted to say.

They even state

Riot is aware of an issue some players are having when attempting to log in to the PVP.net client. This bug appears to be related to a Microsoft issue with SSL 3.0 enabled in Internet Options (shared with Internet Explorer). Please note that if you are unable to connect, this may affect you even if you do not use Internet Explorer as your default browser.

This happened to me mid game. So its obviously my fault that riots having conflicting problems with TLS 1.0? it's a cypher made back in 1999. Btw, the last time I had any connection problems was a week ago during a game. So before you come into a thread acting like some bigshot, check the facts.

I still don't see how this is affecting you if it's only affecting those attempting to login, not those who are already logged in to the client. You still haven't proven that the focus of your disconnect is RIot's fault and not your own. It sucks that You've been banned, but it's pretty damned hard to get banned by leaverbuster unless you keep ignoring your D/Cing problems and don't resolve it. The fact that you've been D/C'ing in ranked means you've burned up the built in leniency of Leaverbuster two times faster than someone in normal queues.

Let me check the facts that you provided for me.

Oh that's right, you provided none. I'm only working with what you provided for me, which was just a rant about how you've been banned for d/cing from the game. Claiming that Leaverbuster is broken, when it's functioning properly. So taking with what I've learned and others have shared for at least a year or so lurking the old Player Behavior and Tribunal Ban Inquiries Forums, it is very apparent that it's still not Riot's fault that you've earned the attention of an automated system dedicated to punishing those who continue to cause negative game experiences regardless of it being intentional or not.

So let me ask you, is TLS 1.0 the reason you disconnected from your ranked game?

No, its the reason I couldnt relog. I disconnected to reset my connection and then couldnt log in for 10 minutes. Simplified enough?
