Leaverbuster might need some work...

So, what I'm getting is this: I leave League for nearly 8 months, and then come back. One laggy game later, I have to sit through twenty minutes of Leaverbuster penalty. Oh, come on, please at least RESET the Leaverbuster if we haven't played or gotten any penalties in, say, a month. That's long enough for waiting out Leaverbuster to be struck out as an option, but short enough to not make people rage when their good record is ruined by a single lag spike. I'm getting very frustrated by Leaverbuster penalties, and while -- yes, it is a good thing! -- it's getting very annoying for the gamers who absolutely HAVE to go, or get lag spikes and are ejected from the game. Thank you.

Not playing isn't a good way to show that a habit of leaving games has changed. If it was, people could just rotate accounts to never face a penalty.

To not face leaverbuster penalties, don't leave games.

Penalties do not decrease through time, but through reformed behavior. You can't just avoid your penalty by not playing.

They used to do time-based penalties. People would just move to smurfs and keep leaving games on alt accounts they didn't care about. The game-based penalties are to ensure players feel the penalties if they want to keep using their main account(s).

As far as taking a break and coming back, they keep the penalty levels from before to make sure players prove they've learned and improve their behavior.

If you don't play for a while your account is going to be in the same standing it was as you left. Just cause you leave your house for a week don't mean it's gonna clean itself lol.

its easy to get past them. you get into que and watch 1 episode of your favorite show/ anime and boom its over for that time. plus if your like me and have 5 smurfs it would be easy to dodge it
