LeaverBuster & Rude Players

I have to say my opinion on this topic. First of all, I stopped playin' for two whole years and every time I come back to the game I regret it instantly. Players (and obviously Riot Team also) don't get it that game will always (for normal people at least) have low priority to the real life situations. The "punishment" for being AFK for some reasons that just CAN'T be ignored is too strict. Waiting for 20+ minutes just get in the game!? And if you get dis-banned wait for another 20 minutes!? Get banned for 24h!? And don't make me get started on the stress that I feel every time when I have to leave and all the players go: reportreportreportreportreport... It makes my head hurt! So I'm appealing on Riot to make themselves little bit more understanding and do something about this AFK ban or people are eventually gonna leave this game for good.

Oh, and it would be so nice if people who play League of Legends could stop being such an assholes all the time. You all might not think about hurting or annoying somebody with your words. I know girls are cry babies sometimes, but I cried after a game a bunch of times just because some other player said some really nasty things to me (no matter if the game was victory or defeat). So people, players, boys and girls, men and women, old and young - I AM BEGGING you to think twice before you curse someone or assault them (of course this doesn't refer to kind people). Please, just think about this things.

Good Games and Have Fun playing!

Leaver Buster is automated and not dependent on reports, so it doesn't matter if they say nothing and not report, if you leave games too frequently you will end up with low priority queues which will increase the more you leave.

While it's understandable that real life situations may sometimes pull you out of a game early, Riot still has to take a stance against it and punish it the same as intentional/negligent afk'ing; whether you rage quit or leave because of an emergency the effect on the match is the same, and you must do what you can to avoid leaving.

If you leave infrequently enough you can get a low or even no penalty for leaving. If the real life situation is so important that you must leave, a LPQ should be the least of your worries.

If you have to continuously leave then go away
