Bans for Leaving

I understand LeaverBuster and other mechanics and their intended purposes, but it is a little broken in two major ways:

  1. You can't see your ping before a match starts
  2. You can't queue dodge without punishment.

This is problematic in a few major ways:

  1. If you enter a game with 500+ ping, you are basically useless to your team, and almost can't help but to feed.
  2. If you go into solo blind pick and your team can't decide on a composition, the best option for EVERYONE involved is to dodge. It prevents your team from entering a game that they are going to lose.
  3. If two ADCs get insta-locked, your team is screwed. See point #2.

As a result, people are penalized for being HELPFUL to their team and the community in general. Now, there are some asshole dodgers, so I don't know how this problem can be properly resolved, but there is almost certainly a way that it can be done.

If you are concerned about your connection, test it in a custom game first

This doesn't work, I logged in, played a bot game to test connection, all good then played blind pick okay for few minutes then dc attempt to reconnect etc. Try to reconnect for 20 mins, opening and closing task manager, checking internet using browser which works then scream then sigh and get leaverbuster. Sucks both for me and the team.

Custom Games != Bot Games

You only need 1 friend to test a connection with.

Uhh, bot games are easily carriable. I can easily 1v5. I don't really touch customs that much.

Umm... Not the point. You said playing a Bot Game is not a good test for connection. I implied that AvantelWings' suggestion to use Custom Games as a ping test does not necessarily refer to Bot Games.

1 friend in a Custom Game can help you test ping.

That was the point. Whether or not Bot Games are "carriable" or easy to 1v5, is not relevant.
