So the client froze on me at the start of a match making me restart my computer so of course leaverbuster puts me in Low Q for 20 mins for 5 games. How do you even have time to wait for that such a waste of time. It's like they just want you to stop playing at that point. Venting #LookingForAFriend

I made this while waiting in the first 20min Q finished and Won the game in under 20mins...

you wouldn't be at the 20 minute mark unless this happens over and over

what bad luck!

Did you client froze many, many times before you got 5 minutes LPQ. Did it froze a few more times when you got 10 minutes LPQ after. Then did it froze even more times before you finally arrived at 20 minutes LPQ?

Its almost as big a waste of time as getting through champ select, load screen, and then having an ally disconnect so you have to start all over or play a complete waste of time match with an uneven amount of players. Thats why they make you wait. Its a form of deterrance. Its supposed to make you want to make sure everything is in line before you start a match, so that you dont disconnect. (I know I know, out of your hands and all that)

Well, you should not consistently leave/afk games. ;)

20 min LPQ is not given for the first case....

I just started this game a week ago...I already extremely hate this 20min wait time. I played another game called War Thunder and also has a 9 min crew lock to where you can't go in the next match if leave. To me, 9 min was doable....but 20min on this game errrmm no..just no. Things happen while playing, something comes up and have to go or lose connection suddenly etc...crap happens. The game is extremely fun, but I don't plan to continue playing just to wait for 20min for a match. I hate to leave matches and like a good comeback. There should also be a reset back to 5min rather than staying at 20min. In 1 day, i played around 7 matches, next day i played 3 matches and then suddenly had to leave somewhere...later I disconnected on another match that same day and bam..20min wait instead of 5min...ridiculous amount of waiting time. I literally have to spend nearly 4 to 6 hrs to get rid of that with just 5 matches :/

In a way I understand it's to stop players from game hopping or afk or leaving since it hurts the team badly, but I'm not willing to wait 20min. I much rather play another game. If they can knock it down to 10min max, for me that's doable.
