LeaverBuster system needs a rework!!

Sometimes I play with a friend who is on LeaverBuster. When you start up the queue, it gives you a message saying you are in a low priority queue, with the option to Leave Queue. If you click this button, the queue cancels and the time RESETS. But if you don't click it, you have to wait the entire time without being able to do anything else. You can't talk to anyone, check your champion list, access the store, etc. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN FIXED YET?? item 3070 The sad part is, LeaverBuster usually puts people at 20 minute bans for 5 games. That's a lot of time where you can't do anything in the client. It is really frustrating when the queue is almost done and someone cancels it.

I have personally never had LeaverBuster bans, but once in a while I have to deal with a friend who does.

I think the LeaverBuster timers should be more like the champion selection dodge timers, where there's an option to hide it and let it run in the background. I really don't get how Riot hasn't fixed this yet.

Maybe .... just maybe ..... it's like that because it's a ... punishment. He ruined the games for a lot of people,and that's what he get for that. Btw. you still have the option to not play with your friend [slayer-jinx-catface] (the punishment shall annoy people. That's how a punishments work)

I do agree that it would be better if you could actually do stuff on the client during the wait time, but I also understand why it's like that. It's a punishment that's meant to stick with people, and I feel that Riot really wants to get the message across that leaving is unacceptable with the punishment being like this. If people don't like it, then it's definitely an incentive to not get that punishment again.

Also, Leaverbuster only gives the 20 minute wait time to repeat offenders. Those who receive the 20 minute wait time have been punished by Leaverbuster before but continue to leave games frequently enough to get punished by it again.

if you end up with 20min that means you leave A LOT!!!

my opinion: they should raise the limit to at least 45min. because in 20min i just watch a lets play or something. 45min is way bigger
