elduris1 votesJumping into queue is a commitment. You promise your teammates that you will set aside 30-45 minutes of your life to play a game with them from beginning to end. If you break that commitment for any reason there are consequences. It's your responsibility to ensure that you have all of your affairs in order when you start a game. That is not limited to just personal affairs, but also ensuring that your equipment is not faulty.
You won't be punished for just one leave, things happen sometimes and there's nothing you can do to prevent it. But if it's happening regularly, you should work on getting your affairs in order first before starting a game.

so i cant take a piss if its a 50min game really? like i cant take 5 min to go to the bathroom without getting leave buster or what happens if i get called by my mum to do something and i come back 5 min later and bam leave buster. if you press play you say you are going to play but you never say you are going to play for 50 straight min with out interruption some of us dont sit here for 11 games in a row.

Do those things before/after games.

If those things are happening enough to get you to a leaverbuster punishment then you need to be putting more effort into predicting them. You ruin games and waste people's time by failing to do so.

no matter how much effort you put in it does not mean it will never happen and after the first time they put you on 5min and you could play 30 games without leaving for 5min but the 31st you do it bam 10min im not asking for leave buster to be removed but to be enhanced its not even close to perfect system not all of us are 15 year old kids with nothing to do but play games we have lives and just want to sit down for a game or two without getting leave buster if we need to get something for our kids and it takes a min like being gone 5 min at the start is not going to throw the game if it did then the team was bound to lose anyway.

If you can't predict them enough to not get punished then I'm not really sure what to tell you. This game has time commitment requirements. You can improve your status with leaverbuster by completing games but 30 is not enough. 1 in 30 a high rate of leaving.
You are right, not everyone is 15. Most people have other things in their lives. So they don't want the time they do have to spend playing a game ruined by someone who fails to manage their time.
If you have things that are going to call you away from the game you should not be queuing. If you can't be reasonably sure that you will be able to finish a game it is selfish to queue.

you are acting like im leaving the game completely all i ask is that i could be gone for 5min is that so much to ask like really 5min out of 40 is not game changing i understand that you must play the game when you que but really you are like no you can never leave your seat i mean no wounder so many people troll games because people like you are way to serious about a normal game to the point where i cant leave to go piss without getting punished. Really do you think that i can tell from the moment i wake up the exact time i need to go pee?

I take my time time seriously not so much the game. 5 minutes absolutely is game changing. It makes the game significantly harder on everyone.
You don't need to pinpoint the time you need to pee when you wake up. You need to judge if you have to pee in the next hour or so. Go pee before every game if you have to. However minor the impact of leaving for a few minutes to pee is, it is completely avoidable with only seconds of consideration.
I'm not the guy raging at someone for afking. I just let leaverbuster do its thing. As far as im concerned AFKs are mostly taken care of. If leaving is rare for a person nothing will happen, if its not then they will be punished.
elduris1 votesAs I said, you are making a commitment. Regardless of how much time it takes for the game to finish, you are committing that time to playing the game from beginning to end. There is no pause button.
Of course, you are free to get up and stop playing whenever you want. But your actions will have consequences. If you find that you get interrupted frequently during certain times of the day, it is your responsibility to find a time that works best for you. Otherwise, I would suggest sticking to custom games so that you don't get punished by leaverbuster.

but leavebuster will punish you even if its not your fault such as a bug splat from riots game and you get in as soon as possible it will still punish you is that fair that you are trying to play the game but it takes a min to get back in the system still counts you afk some people have ping problems to and disconnects from a game once in a while but if you dont get back in with in like 1 min you get punished if you cant see thats not fair then youre blind.
elduris1 votesAs many others in this thread have said, there is leniency for occasional leaves due to bug splats (and forced repatches afterward to ensure it doesnt happen again). If you have technical issues frequently enough to get banned by leaverbuster, you need to work on getting your issues taken care of before queuing again. Might I suggest posting in the Help and Support Board?
AJStarhiker1 votesAnd there's some leniency to account for occassional leaves such as a bugsplash or an RL emergency. If you use up the leniency through poor planning, then yes, it is fair.
