LeaverBuster and I am SICK of it

We all hate LeaverBuster.

I hate LeaverBuster. So, I was in a game and somehow my buttons were stuck and it literally took me the whole game to fix it. Guess what? They slapped me with a 20 minute wait in between games.

That's seriously unfair.

"Someone's internet goes out"

Leaver Buster for 20 minutes.

"Someone intentionally disconnects-" No Leaver Buster for them.

"Someone's buttons are stuck-disconnects-"

Leaver Buster for 20 minutes.

It's getting ridiculous. Especially for Co-Op vs AI.

I know it's different for Normals/Ranked but seriously? Bots?

Either revamp it or you'll definitely lose half of your community.

You only get 20 minutes if you are a chronic leaver. The reasons for your leaving doesn't matter to the players of the games it's ruining. If you have consistent internet or PC issues you need to fix them before queueing up for a matchmade game.

Yeah, but some of the times, it's NOT my fault. League crashes and then we still get penalized for it.

If the issue is on Riot's end then LeaverBuster will recognize that and there will be no penalties. If the issue is on the players end, then that player is responsible.

You are responsible for your technical problems. if you have technical problems that often you should fix your computer before playing league.

I love LeaveBuster. It penalizes the people that annoy me most, afkers and never affects people who don't leave games. :)

Stop leaving the games.

Also, you don't make up half of the community.

If the game is crashing on you, you need to tell Riot about it using a support ticket. They want to know about and fix things like that.

The best way to understand this is pretty simple: Your fault or not, you are regularly harming other players game experience. When you know for a fact that there is a good chance your computer will fail in a game, yet you start one, you know the risk.

I've never been affected by LeaverBuster. The only time I've come close is when I was playing League after the hurricane hit Hawaii and my connection and power were fairly dodgy. I acknowledge that I shouldn't have really been playing.

Riot needs to get their shit together. For the third time today i get leaver buster for 30 min. because their Beta is so laggy during champ select I can not 1) lock in my character, or 2) Pick my ban.

Riot, you need to fix this quick as its a growing issue. Having spent actual money on the game, i don't appreciate being penalized for something that is YOUR fault. I can't sit around all day and wait to play. Leaverbuster needs to be done away with. You have post-game reporting for a reason.
