2 days ago i received a leaver buster penalty right after a bot game. No warnings or nothing at all. All I did was left a bot game like 2 weeks ago, 1 and only that 1 bot game due to internet issues. How dumb that it is for you people fancy auto leaver buster working for? And now I still got 4 games in low priority left. this function is just so stupid by misjudging. it was only 1 game and it was a bot game 2 weeks ago, seriously? I'm a diamond player and all i want was a daily bonus win on that game cuz bot saves time. and you guys actually need to work on something serious than these useless stuff. I have all champs but also with like 4k Essence and a whole lot of champ shards that I can't not use them at all but wasting money. How about you working on things like these that make more sense so I can get rid of it?

I would agree with this normally - leaving a bot game really doesn't "ruin the game" for anyone . . . TBH any half decent player could probably even 2 v 5 the bots.

The problem is, if they dont have it, people are just going to abuse it and afk bot games on multiple accounts at once just to farm free IP.

LeaverBuster only issues penalties if it finds a trend of left games. One game will not net you a penalty.

So basically you're upset that Leaverbuster applies to co-op vs. ai games as well. Sorry but even in co-op vs. ai leaving is still putting your teammates at a disadvantage numbers wise, so no it's not unfair. If you're having internet issues then it's your responsibility to get those issues fixed. From the Leaverbuster FAQ:

ARE RANKED, NORMAL, AND CO-OP GAMES TREATED DIFFERENTLY? Ranked is treated much more severely than normal when it comes to leavers. Games in which a player is considered a leaver always count as losses for them, even if their team is victorious.

I LEFT A CUSTOM/TUTORIAL GAME AND I GOT A WARNING THAT MY ACCOUNT MAY BE PUNISHED? I THOUGHT CUSTOM GAMES DIDN'T COUNT? They don't. This message will appear every time you leave a game, but custom and tutorial games will not increase your risk of low priority queue. LeaverBuster only applies to games you have to queue up for, such as normal games, Ranked, Co-Op Vs AI, etc.

IT'S NOT MY FAULT. MY INTERNET/YOUR SERVERS DISCONNECTED ME. I HAD A REAL-LIFE EMERGENCY. I HAD TO GET OFF THE COMPUTER. THE GAME CRASHED. UNBAN ME! We understand that players may be forced to leave from time to time so the system has been designed to keep these situations in mind. After leaving a few games, you will be placed into a low priority queue; as long as you can complete 5 matchmade games without leaving, you will be returned to the normal queue. However, if you continue to leave games, you will remain in the low priority queue.
