I know that feels unfair, but it's not really a ban -- it's just a temporary (and minor) punishment for abandoning a game. Sure, you happened to come back and you happened to win, but you did put your team at a severe disadvantage during that time.

You also need to have a bit of a history of leaving games to trigger LeaverBuster, so I'm guessing this sort of thing has happened before?

Congrats on the ranked win though!

Why did you rank if you didn't have the time?

Sounds fair to me.

Given how you intentionally left a game and cause and intentionally caused problems for 4 other people who are trying to compete and climb the ladder, I think it's very fair. I hope you don't make this into a habit.

Why would you start a ranked game when dinner is being made? You fully deserve the LPQ. Everyone hates AFKs on their team. Just because this time you came back and won, doesn't mean it wasn't a bogus thing to do, and that it doesn't matter.

If you were really banned, it wouldn't be unfair. You shouldn't play a ranked game when you have plans. You leaving your 4 teammates who are trying to move up in ranking gets crippled because you decided to leave. So if anything you leaving your team was unfair, but your punishment is fair should be more severe.
