LeaverBuster System Idea

I'd like to start by saying I apologize if this is already a post somewhere else, or if someone came up with this idea before me, but I think I have an idea for a leaverbuster system that effectively roots out people who deserve to get said leaverbuster. It's also quite simple.

In my ideal leaverbuster system, at the end of the game when the player is going to get put in lower priority queue, the system should ask each player on their team to vote on whether or not that leaver ruined the experience for them. Because isn't that why they get lower priority queues? Some would say that's not fair, because what if you have a friend or friends on the team who vote in your favor, but you still ruined it for someone else. That's why I propose that the offender will get leaverbuster if only ONE person on the team has issue with them leaving. Only one person has to not enjoy the game because of the leaver, and bam, they get the deserved leaverbuster. But when I'm in a group of five friends, who A. didn't care that I d/c'd or had to go, or B.were annoyed but don't think I deserve leaverbuster for it because it wasn't that big of a deal for them or C.i came back, helped a lot, and we won the game, it saddens me that I still get punished when I didn't REALLY ruin anyone's experience.

I make this post, because I have a great connection, but I have parental controls that restrict the time I spend on my account (even at the age of 17). I keep track of that time, so I don't have to leave games early, but every so often there's a glitch in the system, and when I'm supposed to have 50 minutes left, I instead have 15. I get forcefully logged out, and can't get back into game. Yes, I could just get another computer, but when this is a shared mac mini, and I don't have any disposable income, that becomes a much larger issue.

Thank you to anyone who read, and I hope that this, or perhaps even a system similar to this gets implemented. I wish you all a great day!

Overall a pretty good idea; I would suggest one tweak though: rather than the "one vote and you're punished," instead have it ignore the players who premade with you. This would keep you from getting screwed over by one player on your team that gets salty because they don't understand or care what reason you might have for leaving and just hates that you left (we've all met that player). On the other hand, if you premade with two friends who both would vote in your favour, but the other two team members both had their experience ruined by you leaving, it would only take into account those two votes.

Although I COMPLETELY agree with you, I feel like riot wouldn't go for something that is that forgiving. Frankly I'm not even sure that they would go for my idea. I just figured humans would understand easier why you don't deserve leaverbuster as opposed to a bot programmed to give it to you.

No thanks. Id rather not have some guy who should have been punished before but didn't in my game because someone believed a sob story.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I said that if even one player says yes, they should get leaverbuster then they get it. Meaning if they bothered you, you're included as a player who could vote yes. Am I not understanding what you mean?

I'm talking about a guy afking in a game and then tells w/e story(true or not) and convinces everyone to vote no. Then someone in a future game gets matched with him. But because everyone believed his story he never got punished for leaving so he keeps doing it.

What your asking for basically exists, its just done through an allowable leave rate. You don't get punished for leaving once, you get punishing for leaving games at an unacceptable rate.

Oh ok, I see what you're saying and see how that could become a problem. I suppose the reason I still believe it would be a good idea, is because in league's community, people get reported all the time for way less offensive things. Taking cs for example. Oftentimes when I get kicked off I ask my friends what's going on in the game through Skype on my phone, and they say that someone is asking everyone to report me for leaving. That's why I don't believe too many people would get through the system with a sob story; because most people don't wanna hear it.
