Leaver Busters

Me and my sister were playing a Summoner's Rift Blind Pick and in the last 3 minutes we had to leave.It was on a Sunday which most people know AMC's The Walking Dead plays on at 9 PM and my family enjoys watching it every weekend so in the last 3 minutes we had to leave because our parents wanted to watch the show.Me and my sister usually do not leave games unless our parents need us too or there is an emergency.

Moreover my sister had a 19 minute leaver buster for 5 games and that is ridiculous because it already takes forever to get in and get out of a game and i feel is not respectful of the players who support Riot and do not try to leave the game.I feel League of Legends does not have an efficient way to punish AFK players.Moreover in StoneWall008's video he stresses some of the same issues.I feel Riot games really does not give a crap about there players and really does not care about its supporters.Also the reason Stonewall's video has to do with this issue is because he points out some of the other faults in there system compared to Dota.

Also all i want them to do is tweak the system so that people with connection issues or family disturbances do not get punished ridiculously for something that was not there fault.I have ideas for this like:having a box were you can explain why you left and an employee can wager if your reason makes sense or not or a punishment were you have to write out in a box a written apology to every player.That punishment would be good because it would stiil take a lot of time but not as ridiculous as Riots Leaver Busters are.

I really enjoy Riots games and hope they will fix this issue.Please comment below if you feel the same.Check out Stonewall's video above [slayer-jinx-unamused]

I'm afraid I don't agree with you :( Leaving a game ruins it for 9 other people (8 in this case).
You shouldn't start a game if there's a chance it could stretch into a time when you know you'll need to leave, especially pvp.

I'm sorry, but you don't get punished by Leaverbuster for only 1 leave, you only get punished by it when you show a habit of leaving multiple games. Riot knows that sometimes shit happens that causes you to have to leave a match, which is why the designed Leaverbuster with some leniency. If your sister is punished by Leaverbuster, that means she used up that leniency and then some. Not to mention that having the 20 minute wait shows that she has been punished by Leaverbuster before, as that is not given out for the first punishment.

If you are leaving because your parents need you, I suggest trying to work something out with them so that you can play a game without being interrupted by them.
