LeaverBuster's too Harsh

Wild Wes·10/27/2015, 10:27:25 PM·1 votes·1,129 views

I recently left a game (because my computer shuts off at 9:00) and because of that I got this thing called the LeaverBuster. I see how in a PvP ranked match this can seem fair (even though I was doing a easy bot battle), but you're not able to do ANYTHING while you wait! Honestly, this would be a great time to redo my Masteries. And the thing is, on weekdays I get home from school at 5:00. That leaves me about 4 games to play. So why make me wait SO much longer? On average, it takes about 10-20 minutes to actually spawn into the game. So what happens when game goes on to be an hour long and it took 10 minutes to start the game? And to repeat what I said before, my computer shuts off at 9:00, not I have to be off at 9:00. My computer shuts off at 9:00 right on the dot! So if a game goes until 9:03 what am I supposed to do? Honestly, I think you should at least let players able to do other stuff while waiting.

Child, you think this is harsh?

Previous Leaverbuster was handing out 7 days bans, not just measly "feel lika a challenger" 5-20 minute queues.

Your young it sounds like since I'm guessing your parents have set this alarm clock for your computer Here's the deal, even though you might not see this yet, it's your responsibility to know that you shouldn't start a game after 7:45ish. If your computer shuts down at 9, even in a co-op vs AI game, whenever you leave, your making other people's game ruined and taking a much longer time to finish(in the case of a bot game) So, do yourself the favor and just understand not to push your game time to that limit

I would say that you don't start a normal game after 8 o' clock or an ARAM after 8:30. That way you can ensure you are done by 9.

BIG Question WHY does you computer shutdown @ 9pm in the first place. My Advice buy a new 1.

Your situation sucks, don't play if you know it will close.

Don't start any games later than 7:30 PM.

Bottom line, it's not up to LeaverBuster to determine why a particular person is leaving; the system sees a leave and calculates it as such, and the expectation is that LPQ is an incentive to encourage people to fix or change whatever is causing the conflict.

As simple as that, but my guess he is too young to know about computers

Computer shuts off at 9:00pm. DO NOT queue after 8:00pm as the game can go long. 20 minute leaver penalty means you've more than just this one game.
