Can we extend the low priority queue punishment.

I'm sick and tired of people leaving games, the low priority queue is supposed to be punishing and I have a feeling that a measly 5 mins min and 20 mins max is too meager of a punishment for those leavers that ruin a game for everyone else. I think that the punishment should be extended so that people will actually fear the consequences of their low priority queue. To make the punishment effective, I believe that the minimum wait time should be 20 minutes and for every additional leave after this within a 2 week period of the previous ban will add an additional 20 minutes and 5 extra games to wait out, furthermore the sentence will never stop accumulating and will only reset to 20 mins for 5 games after 2 weeks of the last leave. Now I know some of you will think this sentence absurd but the truth is that people should be extremely discouraged from leaving games and this would be more effective. And for those who will defend by saying "people lag out, the servers suck, I had to leave the game, etc." I just wanna say that you should be aware that a lol game is unpauseable and should be planned for (hell you should even check the weather prior to the game so you know if you may disconnect from it) if you lag every game then maybe you shouldn't play lol as your computer/Internet can't handle the stress. If you have that occasional lag from your home or server then you should still try to play the game at least. On a further note, these penalties should not apply in the case where the losing team would receive a loss prevented, but these occasions are rare anyways.

TL;DR People need to suffer if they are gonna make other suffer.

No, they need a ranked limit. Low priority queues shouldn't even be a thing. If you dodge a game you know will be toxic you get punished by having to wait which is absurd. On the other hand, if you leave a match and ruin 30-45 minutes for 9 other people, having to AFK for 20 minutes isn't even a severe punishment but simply a mild annoyance.

If you leave a game in progress you should have to do X bot/normal games before being able to do a normal/ranked game again. Just to prove you can actually do a match without leaving in an environment where it isn't the end of the world if you fail the test.

"People need to suffer if they are gonna make other suffer".

Just so wrong I'm not like that & Riot NOT it's like that.

Kids will be kids I'm talking abut 20-under.

Adults are more patience with the low priority queues, the kids would become bored & be less likely interested in a game if they have to wait even longer. I Would say 45 mins if you leave an 5vs5 summoners rift match or time could be extended on top of the duration of the game that was play with the quitter. 20mins + how long did the game last?

how about no? people may leave a game duo to PC problems or Internet problems or Power line problems things that they cant control or they cant know when they would strike

AND you want people to wait like 1 hour for a game? wtf is wrong with you

While I understand your frustration, I don't think there needs to be a longer punishment. There have been instances, in ranked especially, when people are toxic from the start in champ select. If people are gonna flame at eachother before the game even starts I don't want to deal with that and lose 15-20 LP. I'd take the 5 min ban and 3 LP loss. But that's just me.

Its already terrifying to take out the trash in the middle of a game, and pray that you don't comeback disconnected That 20 minute leaver buster for 5 games is a DAMN good motivator for me. I feel like the only tuning this could use is to base it off say, the persons overall effect on the game, and how long they were gone. You're 123566326/2/12 and you left at your second death and never came back? that's 5 30 minutes for youuuu. 0/15/364 and you left 36 times for 12 seconds total? That's 3 10 minutes or something like that. I'm typing this at 2:45 am so cut me some slack here, Ill look forward to looking at this in the morning!

Lower Priority queue should just be removed it makes you not wanting to even play anymore
