How long to Leaverbuster's Last?

I'm sort of a casual league player, so I've been playing for about two years. In the span of two years, I haven't left too many games, but every once in a while my wifi crashes or something like that. It's sort of unavoidable. Anyways, recently, my wifi went out for about 7 minutes, and I got leaverbustered for 5 games with a 20 minute wait. I feel like it hasn't ever reset in my lifetime of playing league, becuase the punishments keep increasing no matter how long in between the afk's. I'm just wondering if it takes a certain amount of games, or a certain amount of time before the leaver buster resets?

From the LeaverBuster FAQ Page:

HOW LONG WILL I REMAIN IN THE LOW PRIORITY QUEUE?

You will be placed in the low priority queue for 5 games. If you continuously leave, the low priority queue timers increase from 5 minutes per game to 10 minutes per game and then capping out at 20 minutes per game.

In order for LeaverBuster to reset, you need to play five games from match start to match end.

Sorry to hear about your WiFi troubles, and I hope this info helps.

Try to use ethernet, you can use power line adaptators to make it go by your electricity network, it might help.

I'm not too sure what you are asking here.... If you mean does it ever drop back down to a lower time LPQ, to my knowledge yes, it does. But only after you have shown a consistent amount of gameplay without leaving/afking. It's based on number of games, not time, and it's going to be a relatively high number once you've hit multiple 20 minute LPQs. Just play like you normally would, and do your best not to leave or afk in any matches, and it will go back down. It should drop from 20 minutes to 10 minutes, then down to 5 minutes.
