AFK Punishment Concern

> First off, let's talk about the AFK Punishment system. If you leave quite much recently, you'll get put in Leavebuster. For me, I got in Leavebuster the first time, yes. But then, I got an emergency situation, and had to leave, so I left. Then Riot put me in Leavebuster the second time, which have to wait for 10 mins. BUT, i have not been AFK recently, besides the latest one. And Riot still punished. Think. You sometimes have to leave immediately in the middle of the game, and of course you couldn't predict the time the game would end to COMPLETE a game, and it becomes AFK. In that situation, the solution Riot gave of predicting the duration you play would NOT be possible. Then you would feel really mad and annoyed how Riot made such a careless system. At least pass it on, if the game resulting in a Victory of your team, some kind of mercy. Because if YOU, RIOT, KEEP DOING LIKE THIS I WILL HAVE NO REASON OF HATRED FOR THE GAME. AT LEAST BE SMART, LOGICAL, AND NOT LET YOUR PLAYERS DOWN, or your game would have some trouble. If you readers don't care or disagree, you may, but when you meet the same case, you would probably regret. Sorry for wasting your time of reading this, but I'm seriously mad of League for punishing so hard for an innocent player. Hopefully this game would be developed in the future. Thank you.

There is leniency built into Leaverbuster, so that emergencies are not punished, but when someone uses up their leniency for non-emergencies that is on them.

Also, you may have a different view of "recently" as it applies to AFKs than Riot does. If you leave 1 out of every 100 games, the penalties will continue to stack up to the maximum of 20 minutes LPQ. You have to AFK less if you want to stay at 10 minute LPQ, or much less if you want the LPQ to decrease to 5 minutes. Then, if you continue going AFK less, eventually you will have leniency again for emergencies.
