LeaverBuster - A Bit Harsh?

CancerMage·May 20, 2016·1 votes·626 views

So, let me start with this: I have no issue with the leaverbuster system as a whole. It seems a viable way to stop people from leaving.

However, I recently had a string of really bad games, and I'll admit, I left a few. However, it's been, what, 6 months since I last got a leaverbuster? Since then I've been playing without leaving consistently for months, and yet when I get the low priority queue, it's 20 minutes long. I feel like that's kind of stupid, since I've gone months without doing much to garner its wrath. Maybe I'm just some stupid Bronze player talking out of his ass, but I just wanted to share my opinion.

Your status with leaverbuster does improve with games played without leaving, but it takes a lot. Think like 100 games per leaverbuster punishment you have received.

I mean, I've been playing about 3 games per day for about 3 months. That's approximately 270 games, though it's probably more like 240. Still, you'd think the sentence would be reduced after all that.
