How to fix a leaverbuster?

Warmanreaper·Jul 21, 2016·1 votes·483 views

So last night i went afk ( i was support thresh) Already had my adc fed they were ok with me going afk , i go afk for about 4 minutes while I let me dogs out and got some food , I came back , we played for a good 10-15min and lost cause they got baron , I was greeted with 20min leaverbuster for an unknown amount of games... it doesn't tell me when i'll leave the low priority queue , i made a ticket about this and nobody responded, ( they ignore my tickets pretty much i have about 3 of them currently waiting.) So now im stuck with waiting 20 minutes before each game...

you don't AFK in games. thats all.

Clicking around the fountain is also AFKing.

It was for 4 MINUTES , 2. THEY WERE OK WITH IT , 3. PEOPLE HAVE A LIFE , And ontop of that I already did my role for the game I got the adc fed.

ignoring this one game, how many games did you AFK / rage quit to build up the leaver buster to the maximum limit?

I leave for emergencies here and there and I've never gotten past 5 minutes and had it decay to 0 twice.

Stop giving excuses when you are punished for your consistent behavior.

At least you can take the dog out now during your leaver buster wait time.

Way to be a prick on things you don't understand. Leave my post, troll.

Kei143Jul 21, 20161 votes

then how do you justify getting yourself to the highest punishment scale?

I've had to leave games before, I've been on 5 minute leaver busters, but how do I not get escalated to 10 minutes and 20 minutes? I've even got it to decay back to 0. TWICE

Cos I don't do it consistently?

Unlike someone here .. whos gotten themselves so faaaarrrrr into the ditch and is now complaining they are in that ditch that they dug themselves.

Man up to your actions, and accept the punishment.

It was for 4 MINUTES

A lot can happen in 4 minutes in this game. Even if you have a fed ADC, a 4v5 situation is still really unfavorable and can easily turn a game around. A lot of ultimates can be used, come off cooldown, used again, come off cooldown again, and then used a 3rd time within 4 minutes.

THEY WERE OK WITH IT

It doesn't matter if they were okay with it. Leaverbuster is an automatic system that operates and hands out punishments without the need of reports. You will be flagged as AFK is you are standing idle for too long, even if you don't physically disconnect from the game, and if you get flagged in too many games, then you will receive a punishment.

PEOPLE HAVE A LIFE

Yes, people do have a life, and Riot understands that as well. That is why they built some leniency into the Leaverbuster system. You don't get punished for just a few leaves, you get punished when you show a habit of leaving/going AFK in multiple games. The fact that you have the 20 min LPQ shows that you have left/gone AFK in a lot of games in the past and that you have a history with the Leaverbuster system, as that is not given out as a first punishment.

You're so full of shit dude , "Yes, people do have a life, and Riot understands that as well. That is why they built some leniency into the Leaverbuster system.

This has been proved wrong 99% of all leaverbusters... its never after a few , 1 afk = leaverbuster , happens to me , my friends , even some of my family that play.

No it hasn't been proved wrong. Take an account that has never gone AFK or left a game ever and AFK in 1 game with that account. It will not receive a Leaverbuster punishment.

It may seem like you get a punishment for 1 AFK for you, but that's because you have a history with the system. You have left a lot of games in the past and used up the leniency that Leaverbuster has, so you are pretty much on thin ice. This means a single AFK could very well trigger another punishment for you, but you need to realize that it's not just that single AFK that is solely causing the punishment. It's that AFK on top of all the games you left/went AFK in in the past that is causing you to be punished.

So this is the only game you ever left then. The punishment comes after a game because a single game is the final straw. You do not get punished for leaving 1 game. The first time you leave a game on an account you are met with the warning that has you type "I agree". So it takes a bare minimum of 2 leaves to get punished but I don't think I have ever heard of someone being punished for less than 3.

I've had connection issues that cause me to drop/never connect to/ show up 5 minutes late on occasion, and have never had an issue with getting leaverbusted except once when i had just joined 4 years ago and dc'ed from about 6 games in a row. If you're getting nailed on leaverbuster, you're most certainly AFKing more often than is reasonably excusable.

SmokedAlmondsJul 21, 20161 votes

Every leaverbuster punishment is for 5 games.

You aren't really that clear on what your issue is other than it isn't telling you the number of games for some reason. Or do you also think you shouldn't have gotten the leaverbuster punishment?

WarmanreaperJul 21, 20161 votes

you were right about the number of games, and I do believe i shouldn't of gotten it , I would be ok with 5 minutes or 10 minutes but 20 minutes... 5 games of 20 minutes.. that's a waste of 100 minutes in just sitting around doing nothing.

wow, you got a timer like that? wtf are you doing...eating dinner while your team gets pwn't?

SmokedAlmondsJul 21, 20161 votes

The timer is based on how many times you have been punished for leaving, not the severity of a single leave. Leaving is pretty binary anyway. Being gone for a short time can and usually does completely derail a whole game. You didn't get this severe punishment because of that leave, you got it because you are considered a chronic leaver. Leaving for even a few minutes is not ok.

EunsonJul 21, 20161 votes

So you went AFK. Got reported for being AFK. And you're confused why you were punished for being AFK? Lol wtf.

DrCyanideJul 21, 20162 votes

No, he's confused as to how many games he'll have a 20 minute wait.

No need to be aggressive. The more tickets you open, the longer the response time, as each ticket/response will bump your request to the bottom of the queue. Regarding how many LPQ matches you have left, a notification will appear after each match informing you of how many LPQ's you have left. As far as I'm aware, it starts at 5 and escalates from there.

Warmanreaper, AFK=assist enemy team.

no matter how fed your team is, 4v5 isn't fair whether you're the team with # advantage or not.

If your house is on fire, you play through the inferno. terrorist attack? you dodge the bullets, not the queue.

KFC delivery? Riot can go love themselves...and you can enjoy 20 minutes of leaverbuster no prob with a bucket of KFC.

...I think I need to have some dinner.
