How to get rid of low priority queue?

I have the 20 minute long low priority queue, and i played 6 games so far. I did not leave any of the games, but yet still have the LPQ for my 7th match. I always thought it goes away after 5 games. Is this some sort of glitch?

You have to play 5 match made games and not afk in any of them (even bot games count) so it goes away

Each game you afk the game doesn't count

From the Leaverbuster FAQ:

HOW LONG WILL I REMAIN IN THE LOW PRIORITY QUEUE? You will be placed in the low priority queue for 5 games. If you continuously leave, the low priority queue timers increase from 5 minutes per game to 10 minutes per game and then capping out at 20 minutes per game.

IT'S NOT MY FAULT. MY INTERNET/YOUR SERVERS DISCONNECTED ME. I HAD A REAL-LIFE EMERGENCY. I HAD TO GET OFF THE COMPUTER. THE GAME CRASHED. UNBAN ME! We understand that players may be forced to leave from time to time so the system has been designed to keep these situations in mind. After leaving a few games, you will be placed into a low priority queue; as long as you can complete 5 matchmade games without leaving, you will be returned to the normal queue. However, if you continue to leave games, you will remain in the low priority queue.

If you've done all this and still find yourself in LPQ then try filing a Support Ticket and see if they can help you out there.
