Leaver Buster

Why did I get a Leaver buster when I was just AFK for 2 minute because of a Bugsplat? I was playing and I was doing good in game and I was AFK for 2 minutes and I got 5 leaver buster that makes me wait 10 minutes. Thats not really fair, players in rank AFK all the time and we cant do anything about it, I'm not even sure if Riot even punishes those who AFK in ranked or normals if we report them. Nobody even reported in me in that game because the minute I got back my team was losing and I helped them catch up and won the game then I get to the match overview and got 5 leaver buster for being AFK for 2 minutes.[slayer-jinx-unamused] Is that even fair?

Leaver Buster is broken. U can basically pick any ranged champ, put pink ward on gromp and stay on the other side while your champ will endlesly attack gromp while gromp will reset all the time. Or you can just pick teemo and buy sinfire thing and stay stealth in wolves.

You didn't AFK only for 2 minutes. Leaver Buster only takes action if you've been more than 5 minutes either DC or AFK. Also, you've been AFK on more games and this one caused the punishment because leaves rank up.

Leaverbuster is a completely automated system. It sends out a punishment once it has detected that you have been afk/dc/etc for X amount of time within Y games.

The exact numbers are unknown, but it's a robot making the decision, it's not human error. It's likely you've afk'ed or dc'ed some other times for the system to trigger now.

AFK punishments are not for a single game. That punishment was the result of your entire history of leaving.

I think if people reported you for being afk that would also affect things (not 100 percent sure tho)

I'm looking at how many games you AFKed in the past.

seeing that your leaver buster penalty is @ 10 mins, you must be leaving games and increasing your penalty. else your punishment tier would drop.

so be truthful to yourself and stop AFKing / leaving games. Its not an acceptable, and other people are punished with leaver buster as well.

Next punishment is 20 mins for 5 games.
