Only playing ARAM. I launch a game, accept it, set up my runes and tab-out or do something else until the game starts (not waiting 1 minute watching at an empty sreen sorry). Someone dodges, I don't accept the next game, I leave the queue. Happens 6 times in a row, and I get a leaverbuster. Kek, punished for someone else's decision that doesn't understand the concept of "ARAM".
Modi2 votesI don't accept the next game,
So, you rejected a game that was matched? Once the game it's matched (you get the accept/reject screen) leaves is in effect.
I have say through many "accept loops", where I click accept over, and over, and over, because someone didn't click accept. That is far more annoying and disruptive than your "waiting 1 minute watching at an empty sreen".
I have also had to step away in the middle of ARAM champ select only to have someone dodge, the next match timer to run out, and to get Leaver Buster.
You don't whine about it. You suck it up.
Kurt Hyzan1 votesI'm not supposed to stay in front of my computer during a loading time. There shouldn't be such cases where people dodge 6 times in a row. I shouldn't be punished for doing what I'm used to do in any other game : something else during loading times. People dodged, I didn't. I didn't reject the game, the "Accept" screen simply expired because I was away.
CharDeeMcDenniz3 votes"I essentailly went afk and the afk system flagged me! wtf RIOT!"
Kurt Hyzan1 votes"I went AFK" ? No I didn't go afk. People aren't supposed to dodge, if they dodge I'm not supposed to be punished instead of them.
Imperial Pandaa2 votesThey can get their punishment for dodging and then you can get one for not accepting the new game pop.
They aren't mutually exclusive.

this is the literal definition of away-from-keyboard

You have no way of knowing how long loading will take. You must be prepared to play immediately after clicking "accept".

No, but you don't control others' actions. You control your own.
I shouldn't be punished for doing what I'm used to do in any other game : something else during loading times.
See point above regarding being ready. What you do during other games does not apply. That being said, the game wasn't on the loading screen yet, or this would not have been an issue. You want to do something during the loading screen? Wait until you actually are on the loading screen.
People dodged, I didn't. I didn't reject the game, the "Accept" screen simply expired because I was away.
Not accepting is an implicit rejection. That is how it is handled.
When you sign up to play a game, you are expected to be there for the full game, which starts at the accept screen and ends when one team's Nexus explodes.
AJStarhiker2 votesThis sounds more like a dodge penalty than LeaverBuster. Did it give you a number of games or a timer? Also, if the game allows you to do things in the client while the timer runs, it's a dodge penalty.
Those are the lightest penalty. They only affect you after dodging, and reset the following day. Ranked dodges also have a small LP loss and an instant 'loss' on the game if in Promotions.

Edit: dodging champ select has the ranked penalties. I don't think failing to accept games has them.
Kurt Hyzan1 votesProbably this yes. I had to wait 5 minutes in order to start a game, but wasn't "locked" as you said

Please use a different word next time, as I've edited out the one you chose to use.

AnAggravatedPimp1 votesYou can't get leaverbustered for not clicking accept. IIRC if you don't click accept the game stops searching for matches so you had to afk during queue, not champ select, 6 seperate times for your story to make sense. And then it still wouldn't make sense because you can't get leaverbustered for not clicking accept
