Riot, Leavebuster has punished me with the obligatory wait time because YOUR game crashed.

I wanted to play a single normal game as Wukong, but you know what happened? The game crashed. And it SAID it crashed. So, I decided that it was no big deal, as I would only be behind a few levels that of the person I was laning against. Then, the game crashed again after loading to ninety nine percent. It says the game had CRASHED. I tried to get in AGAIN, and it crashed at NINETY NINE PERCENT. I finally got in after trying four different times, and I couldn't do anything before we lost. Afterwards I was informed that I would have to wait the ten minutes four times before I could be put into normal match again. Might I remind you, that the game explicitly states that the game itself, had CRASHED. That is not my fault Riot, that is YOURS. Why am I being punished for something that I have no control over, nor is my fault at all? Please just fix this... I can't do this for much longer if this repeats.

it's very sad that nothing will ever be done about this, I and many other friends have this happen all too often; It's a very shitty way to enjoy league when you are punished for riots glitchy game client.

Riot's new leaver buster is way too unforgiving. Mean while the tribunal is down and people can rage and ruin way more games then anyone afk'ing

The new LeaverBuster doesn't trigger on one leave, or two leaves, or even three. It only triggers after several games where a person has left. And past that, it takes even more to bump you from five to ten minutes.

I don't know if we're hearing the whole story here from you. I personally have had game crashes and emergency/unexpected leaves and have never once had a time penalty. Either you have really bad internet causing you to crash and disconnect regularly (in which case it is your fault) or you AFK in games.

If you think it's a legitimate bug, send a support ticket.
