I'm glad League and eSports in general has gotten visibly less tolerant to toxicity and afking, but there ARE exceptions!

I was in a ranked match and we were playing pretty well and suddenly a fuse blew. To compound this, i haven't optimized my pc in a while and my boot time is long af.

all in all, it took me roughly 7-10 minutes to get back into the game.

Now, idk how leaverbuster weights its penalties, but I'm assuming its by damage done to your team/towers while you were away because of course, the other team capitalized on me not being there. So, even though I was gone for only 8 minutes and then came back fighting hard to keep my team in it,they were a CRUCIAL 8 minutes, but there was literally nothing I could do to get into the game any faster.

My team was upset, but understood and wasn't overly toxic about it, but I still got leaverbustered and put in lower queues for 5 games. Amumu

I know it's an automated system so i'm hoping rito makes exceptions when life actually gets in the way.

they do make exceptions, which is why the first few times when you AFK, only a warning comes up.

This would have to be your 4th or 5th AFK in your recent games for you to get penalized.

So ask yourself how many times you AFKed in game. Btw, clicking around the fountain counts as AFK.
