LeaverBuster Feedback

So, before I get into this, I will go ahead and tell you I have been pretty salty in the past, and I am actively working on improving. Alright, so here it goes. I have gotten a Ranked ban not ONCE, but TWICE now. I think it is a pretty dumb and poorly designed area of the Leaver Buster system. I have been suspended a total of 3 times, and I have definitely learned from it. The thing is, I am forced to play and WIN 9 Normal Draft Mode games, which is just blatantly stupid in the eyes of most players, including myself. If we have already been suspended for 2 whole weeks, why do we need to be banned from Ranked for another couple weeks? Most players attend school, and don't have time to play 9 games during the week, let alone win them. Winning the games is out of our control, and I'm sure most Rioters know that Normal Draft Mode is bloated with trolls and insanely toxic players, to the point where even I can't believe they are not permanently banned. It's sort of like the situation where we also are ineligible for end of season rewards, no matter what. That's another situation where we've already been punished, and it seems as if we should be punished again. Maybe you guys could create a reward system based on not being suspended and/or chat restricted for a certain number of months, like 2 months, 6 months, 12 months with a clean record. I think we should still be rewarded for being good at the game even if we have been punished by LeaverBuster, and many people agree. Foxdrop made a whole video about this. If the end of season reward were for being non toxic, then it would make sense. It's like if you're getting a reward for straight A's, but you didn't have perfect attendance so you didn't get the reward. Back to the ranked thing, it would be much better if we had to PLAY like 5, win or lose. It is completely out of our control when it comes to winning. I hope you will consider this, and that maybe you could even try to change this and remove this ranked ban from all accounts with it.

Ranked restrictions are not leaverbuster they are just another form of punishment for chat infractions like chat restrictions and bans.

Leaverbuster punishes with low priority queue which is an extra wait time before games.

Also they are aware that you are only going to win about half your games. So if they made ranked restrictions just games played instead of wins then they would just double the amount required. Except then you would have no incentive to try and the fastest way to get through them would be surrender at 20 games.

Since last season ranked rewards have been for both behavior and skill.
