Wow.. good job Riot! I left one game for like 10 minutes cause of my electricity and now i have to wait 20 minutes for 5 games... Beautiful! Here you lost one player, i'm leaving this, too much toxic players and this is the end for me. Goodbye! Make your game better! Or at least try to...

Nobody gets a 20 minute leaverbuster after their first, or even second or third, abandoned game. Just how many "electrical problems" have you been having?

And dodges/ragequits on top of that

Dodges do not factor into leaverbuster whatsoever. You can dodge all day everyday and will only get queue bans (waiting 15min before being able to queue, but being able to use the client unlike leaverbuster.)

Really? I didn't know that. I thought if you dodged enough you'd get like 20 games where you have to wait 20 minutes before queueing? Or is that leaver buster? I don't really know the difference

Dodging, as in leaving in champ select, only ever gets you one queue's penalty, independent of Leaverbuster, plus some LP loss if you do it in ranked. As far as I know.

Leaverbuster penalties, as in five games of low-priority queue, only happen when you go AFK during an actual match.

No, that's leaverbuster. Leaverbuster only happens when you leave games AFTER they start. Leaving in champ select will only ever get you a queue ban and losing LP (-3 or -10) in ranked queues.

In leaverbuster, you have to wait X minutes WHILE IN QUEUE to actually get in a game. If you're queue banned from dodging, when you click to start a game it will say you're unable to join a game for X minutes and you can close that popup and go do something else. When you're in leaverbuster you can't close the popup and you can't leave your computer because you will enter the queue only after you've waited for your leaverbuster minutes.

You'll know you're in leaverbuster if there's a triangle (!) mark when you queue up and a red background to it. If you try to exit, it will say you'll have to restart the leaverbuster punishment if you close it.
