You were not contributing = afk

since i didnt want to play since my adc was just flaming the entire game.

In cases like this, I'd recommend just muting the player and continue playing. You essentially ruined the game for the 5 players and the enemy team, and 4 players on your team. How would it feel to be in the top lane, and have someone stop playing and just give up because they were arguing resulting in a loss of LP? It would probably feel bad, and you'd want to person that game up to be penalized.

Of course you got a Leaver Buster penalty. You knew that this penalty system existed when you had to type 'I Agree' after leaving your first time, so it should come as no surprise. We do not reverse penalties that are not issues in error.

TLDR; In the future, just mute people you don't want to see chat from, proceed to gain LP.

Riot is capable of detecting this and considers it the same as going AFK.

You brought this on yourself.

Why am I stuck in Low Priority Queue and how can I get out of it?

Continuing to leave/afk games will increase the time that you remain in LPQ. To get out of it simply play 5 matchmade games without leaving/afking, it's really that simple.

Okay then, I'll just move around occasionally to avoid getting hit by Leaverbuster.

Yeah, sorry, no, that won't work as Leaverbuster is programmed to track useless movements and actions as well. This includes afk farming and moving around in base aimlessly.

You deserve it

You queued up for the game and you're not playing it because of a headache you could have avoided. You gave yourself a reason to get put in low priority

The Reds have actually stated that not playing but still being present is considered afk/leaving the game. Even if you didn't disconnect or actually go away from the keyboard, you were an afk/leaver.

i got leaver buster for going AFK, but it wasn't my fault. Literally i tried going a 5v5 aram match i when it randomly chose my champion i couldn't play and what appeared is a box say something with error report and to describe the events and i did then, so i tried reconnecting like 5 times and i get leaver buster next day WTF? please remove it

XDedamaneX8/12/2017, 7:29:50 PM1 votes

I mean, I get these a but because there is a storm and my wifi cuts out when I'm at the nexus then I get a penalty I'm just like whatever.

So my dog's hip went out and i went AFK for a few minutes, (like 5) but when I came back and the game finished, it placed me in a low priority queue for 10 miutes, for 5 games, can you please remove it?

Just found myself looking into this, because I think the game is legitinately not recognizing things properly. I afk'ed during 1 normal - draft summoner's rift, and was ready to pay the penalty of waiting 5 minutes during my next que. but to my surprise .. now the next 4 games ALL had a 5 minute penalty. Shouldn't the counter reset after the penalty of 5 minutes wait is done ? or is 5 games in low q is now the new standard ?
