Leavebuster

I have been playing LoL for several years. While I'm not the perfect player I am the type of player Riot should want in their community. I don't verbally abuse the other players in my games, I play a lot and tell people I know about the game, and I have spent money on the game on multiple occasions. Occasionally I do disconnect due to internet issues, most of the time I am able to reconnect immediately with little effect on the game. Sometimes I can not, while I don't have the stats it is a very small % of the games I play. Today I logged on planning to spend money to buy the new Beemo skin, instead I found that I have 5 ten minute bans. There is no way my play history is deserving of this. Most of the time I log on Riot is giving me key fragments rewarding me for honors given from my non-premade teammates. Based on the other people in my games and their behavior it does make me mad that I'm being punished, because most of those players are not and they unlike myself are a detriment to building a healthy gaming community.

I'd love to say I'm not going to play anymore, but I don't have a game I like to move on to. I can however promise that I won't spend anymore money "Beemo isn't worth it". I encourage others who are positive members of the community to do the same until Riot can build a better system of policing the game.

LeaverBuster is a separate from the behavior system. You won't lose honor for it. At worst you might not get honor credit for the games you dc.

As far as being able to reconnect, the system does detect even relatively short dc issues, and it does build up over time. And even if it's only a minute or two, that's more than enough time to lose a teamfight, a couple towers in a strong push, or baron/dragon.

TBH, LeaverBuster is far more lenient than it was when I first started playing. Back then, the penalies were time bans, not longer queue times.

to be leavebustered you need to afk more than 5% so you have some error margin there

and the leavebuster is separated from bans it doesnt get proc ed by reports its automatic and doesnt do any harm to your account besides the time you lose :p giving how many people AFK in ranked i think its good as it is if your internet is unstable then dont play .If you dont have at least 50min of free time then dont play aswell having a few disconnections is fine as long as its less than 5% of the games you do
