You should not recieve a leaver buster penalty for lost connection or computer crashes

its insane how I can play my leaver buster games that I didn't deserve in the first place get to the last fucking one and have my computer shut off in the first 30 secs of a game which I am sure riot can detect was a crash not a user clicking leave game and get 5 more 20 min bans. its ridiculous that this shit happens. I know riot servers can detect the difference and it should not be that players with a computer or internet problem get instantaneously and wrongfully punished while trolls toxic players and feeders can ruin game after game after game and get off scott free.

And how are you going to prove you didn't just pull the plug on your router?

I'd like to point out how rarely this happens. Just because Riot declines to inform you doesn't mean they're unpunished.

And Leavebuster doesn't kick in after one incident. I've been forced to leave a game before (emergencies happen), and I haven't been punished in any way greater than Riot going "Hey. Don't do that. Ai't?", so you must have a pattern of leaving games. In which case, you're either lying, or, if your computer IS crashing, stupid, because, if you know your computer's having issues, you should stop playing until it gets fixed, because you're harming the other 4 players on your team.

It doesn't matter what the circumstance is, the purpose of the Leaver Buster system to remind the player that leaving a game (for any reason) is not okay. As long as it doesn't happen regularly you don't have to worry about it. But your computer is still your responsibility and constant crashes and power outages play a part in ruining the experience of other players that were waiting to queue up for a match. If you are constantly having an issue with your computer then the problem should be addressed.

Don't blame Riot for your computer issues. And the LB is an automated system that has nothing to do with Trolls and Toxic players so I am not sure what the point of bringing that up was.
