LeaverBuster is not based on one leave. Especially not for a 20 minute queue time.

If you have a 20 minute LeaverBuster, it is because you previously had a 5 minute LeaverBuster and didn't learn your lesson.

Don't queue up unless you can sit at your computer for an hour to an hour and a half without leaving from the time you start queue. If you leave to go to the bathroom or get a snack during loading, you risk AFKing and getting penalties like this.

Also, you're describing a remake it appears, which are treated like whole game/large portion of game afks for your penalties, because you just made people waste an entire queue time and loading time, plus 3 minutes in game, just to have to start all over.

He must've gone through the 5 minute and the 10 minute levels. It was definitely a pattern of multiple leaves/afks.

This hasn't been emphasized enough.

Imagine missing the first three minutes of a game! If you're top or mid, your lane opponent has been farming freely for 90 seconds at that point, probably hitting level ~3 and having a chance to back and buy. If you're adc or support, your lane partner has been SCREWED for the past 90 seconds. If you're the jungler, you get no leash now and you've basically invited the enemy jungler to invade you with abandon.

Being AFK and leaving a game is the same thing. Leaverbuster treats ranked games more severely.. Also only 1 or 2 AFK/Leaves can count if you don't have a lot of games played in a short period of time.

It goes by % games afk/left compared to games played in a certain period of time.

1 LEAVE in 10 games is 10% 1 LEAVE in 100 games is 1%

Leave/afk less or play more :D

Personally- I have over 4000 games played and have 2 leaves in the history of the game (7+ years). Both were from internet outage or power loss. That being said I understand if something happens and someone has to AFK for a short period of time...

It also is based on patterns so theoretically a 1.5% leave rate for a few days may not get punished while a 1% leave rate over months may. Not actual numbers, just an exaggerated example
