Question about LeaverBuster
Would my account be banned if I accidentally left a game because my power went out? This is the second time it happened and I also could not join back in time before the game it ended.

As others noted, it's possible to get a timer before you can play again, or just a low priority queue. For just 2 times, even that is a bit unlikely. If it keeps happening, you'll see longer and more severe penalties. Don't worry about suddenly getting banned or something...you'll see plenty of (figurative) darker red warning signs as you get closer to severe penalties.
If you keep playing and don't leave matches, the system will recognize this and it'll be like you never did it in the first place. We all lose connections occasionally.
Ban is not the punishment for leaving so no you wont be banned. If it happens enough you may get low priority que which is a wait timer you have to sit through before playing.
As the above poster said, for just 2 leaves you will maybe have low priority queue, but the more you get reported for it the more a ban is possible.
There is a buffer of leaves that it will ignore, but if you continue to have leaves your punishments will get worse and worse.
You CAN get perma-banned for continuous leaving, but you would need to be constantly leaving for it to hit you. You'll get multiple 2 week suspensions before a perma-ban is given.
