Can you explain the benefits of rejoining a game after being flagged by leave buster? I just recently got a firewall error which I have never got before because my firewall is turned off and I couldn't get back in the game for like 10 minutes. Once I got in the game I had two choices..

Try to farm and catch back up and help my team win
Stay afk and wait till the game is over since I am already flagged by leave buster, will count as a leave and more than likely get reported anyways.

I've seen this alot were people figure since they are getting flagged and reported anyways, what's the point of even not afking the rest of the game. I really don't see any benefit of continuing to play a game that you are already punished for no matter how hard you try to come back and help your team.

Leaver buster is a one time thing that comes up and it means literally NOTHING. It isn't even worth getting upset about, it just comes up once to let you know leaving isn't acceptable but it's so fcking dumb that lyte came up with that system because it literally doesn't do anything, it's like a "Oh btw" announcement.

So you are Either saying..

Frequent leave buster flags won't suspend you or
Suspensions are only giving by multiple reports after leave a game which Riot would have to check leave buster to see if it's valid anyways?

My point is, why should I waste time trying to help my team win if my fate is sealed after already being flagged & or reported.

Multiple flags get you suspended. I know from experience, I just want to know what the point of even trying is.

Last time I got suspended on my smurf I got a server error, I couldn't get back on for like 8 minutes. I finally logged on , went to my lane and went 22-3-7 that game and we won. After the game I got a disconnect and when I tried to log back on I was suspended. Rather I had prior dcs or leaves in the past that built up to that , it was that game that put the nail in the coffin and triggered the suspension. So why even bother trying to win a game after getting flagged is my question. Seems like to me that promotes toxicity if you are still going to punish someone for getting into the game and carrying your team to a victory.

"Say something, I'm giving up on you."

its true. don't bother if you haven't been able to connect for 5+ mins. its going to suck trying to come back from that and leaverbuster has already flagged you anyway.
