Will I get banned if someone emails that I left a game?

My jungler was intentionally feeding my lane then blaming me, then the enemy top laner was also harassing me in all chat. Everyone on our team also gave up because they all died so I just alt f4d. I came back about 4 minutes later to them ending and garen said he is clipping and emailing to get me a 14 day. The only thing I can imagine that might get me a bit of a more severe punishment is that I declared i was leaving before I did. In normal situations I would get a leaverbuster but I was not gone long enough for that to happen. I wasn't toxic though I did tell garen that olaf is inting. Will garens email likely get me a 14 day suspension? Or will it be more something along the lines of leaverbusters? Im very anxious about it and afraid that I will log in tomorrow to see my account banned.

Yes, intentionally leaving a game is punished the same as any other trolling behavior. Given that you've now admitted to that on a public board connected to your League account, I would not be surprised if that occurred.

Stop griefing your teammates and you have nothing to be anxious about.

If you get manually reviewed (via support ticket report), there is a chance you'll get punished on the same track as intentionally feeding (14-day ban on first offense). We have seen more than a few people posted on this board who got banned for afk but tried to avoid LeaveBuster by sitting at base and spam spells and such. A manual review would be you declared your intention to purposely afk and did afk...

I'll be extremely mad if a teammates leave. But 14 day suspension is a bit much if it's a one-time thing.

If you didn't admit to it in-game and if posting it publicly on a forum doesn't count against you, then no assuming you didn't say any trigger words in chat.

You can leave several games in a row and nothing will be done about it. Worrying about it enough to make it public on League's forums that you intentionally left a game though is going to be your downfall if something does happen.

Do you often leave games? If its a one time thing then its excusable. Doing it repeatedly will eventually lead to strict punishment. If you typed something before leaving which was toxic or negative then there's a good chance of it being an escalated punishment. Simply leaving a match doesn't do much, unless you've been doing this for a while and got a wake-up call. Infact, Riot does throw you a warning to which you have to type 'I Agree'. That should signal you to avoid doing this!

No, OP. They don't ban anyone over leaving.
