LEAVEBUSTER AGAIN; ARE YOU SERIOUS? @REDS I WANT ANSWERS

Riot this is seriously fking bullshit. I start a game, start a convo w/ a guy in lobby, game never loads, thought it was just taking longer than normal as this happens sometimes. Checked ping was consistently 60-70 which is normal ping for me.

Game then says server never connected, I try to reconnect, get kicked to game lobby. This has NEVER happened until these recent patches, I was literally playing another MMO while waiting to load into League so it's not my connection. What the fuck is this seriously?

Why am I punished with 5 20 minute queue's because your guys patch fuck up the connection? I'm seriously beyond pissed this is the 2nd time this happened.

I'm seriously thinking about quitting this is just fucking stupid I want a Red answer

Leaverbuster happens when you affect the game of others by not connecting. To arrive at a 20-minute penalty that means this is at least your 3rd leaverbuster penalty in a short period of time. I understand why you'd be frustrated. The penalty serves not only to punish players for leaving but also raise awareness that loading/connection problems affect other people and should be addressed before playing more games.

I was literally playing another MMO while waiting to load into League so it's not my connection.

Being alt-tabbed, or having focus on another application while loading can certainly cause issues loading.

Checked ping was consistently 60-70 which is normal ping for me.

Ping, while an identifier of network performance there are others that may be more telling. Packet loss is what you are probably interested in. Are you on WIFI?

This has NEVER happened until these recent patches

Have you tried running the hextech repair tool? It can help identify issues.

So, while you were connecting to a game, you were taxing the connection with an MMO?

Well... you only have tour past AFKing behavior to blame for this.

Well in those 20 minutes you can play that MMO. I don't know what's the problem here. Win win for everyone.
