Hey Acidalia,

I can understand that you didn't intend to leave the game.

Sometimes when you gotta go, you gotta go. And when you're in danger of spewing molten chocolate lava all over your chair I don't think anyone here at Riot would choose otherwise.

However with that said we've purposely designed the Leaverbuster system to not take intent into account. This is because leaving, regardless of the reason still has a negative impact on all other players in the game.

One thing to keep in mind however, is that it won't take action on your account until repeated leaves have been recorded. This is because sometimes life happens and we all need to leave unexpectedly. You mentioned you had left games prior so this is likely why the system was quick to take action on you for this one leave.

Also if you continue to leave games Leaverbuster will leave longer and longer punishments on you account. The GOOD news though is that your standing with Leaverbuster is not permanent. It will improve as you play matches without leaving and eventually return you to neutral status. This means that in the rare circumstance that "life calls" you'll likely be able to leave without facing a severe penalty quickly.

Sorry but DCs are VERY IMPORTANT in Bronze ranked queue. I mean, it's not like 99% of bronze players are crap.
