Put in Leavebuster for Connecting to the Game...*sigh*

This is absolutely ridiculous. The game was frozen at the loading screen, so I restart the LoL Client to get in. I come back very behind and we lose. So what? It is a normal. I tried and did not harrass my team. We tried to work together but got overpowered by their Rengar. How in God's name does this earn a Leavebuster when I never LEFT?!

Downvotes are fine. But please don't give me any b******t in the comments. Thank you.

I order to be punished by LeaverBuster a few things need to happen.

  1. You need to leave a game and acknowledge the warning that says you understand the system.
  2. Show a history of leaving games.

You do not get leaverbusted for leaving a single game, nor does it punish people who have the occasional issue. Additionally, the system does not differentiate between technical issues you may be experiencing and quitting the game explicitly. As you stated, when you got into game your team was very behind. You not being there negatively affected the game experience of other players. It can be frustrating to be punished for technical issues, but it should serve as an indicator to resolve any issues you may be experiencing before attempting to play.

I used to have the same problem and being stuck on the loading screen, wondering if the game has crashed or it will load.

I learnt that if I am logged onto the forums (with my browser open) during champ select, it ensures that my game will load.

Weird, but it worked for me.
