Leaverbuster Leaves Permanent Marks on Players' Accounts

Gstevenston··2 votes·1,281 views

So just recently I had queued up for a ranked game, went to the bathroom while it loaded, then came back and began scrolling through a meme website. Not realizing the game had started I ended up causing my team to Remake. After realizing what I'd done I tried to start another game only to have 5 20 Minute low-priority queues on my account. This is likely because a long time ago when I first started playing league (Over a year ago) I would often leave games. This past behavior led to longer and longer queues up to 20 minutes. I haven't afked or left a game in months upon months, let alone get a leaverbuster. Now, I have no problem with being punished for afking 1 game, but I do strongly disagree with the fact that these old mistakes (leaving games) carry through indefinitely and I think that the leaverbuster system should be changed so that the duration of these low-priority queues get reduced after not leaving games for a long time.

Well deserved. Wish they would start banning people like you who don't care about the other players. If you care this much then just stay out of the game altogether and solve two problems. If you que up you pay attention or get what you deserve. I love it and for you to come here and whine about shit that you are 100% wrong for makes it even better.

Wasn't whining about the punishment itself, in fact as you can see in the post i stated that the punishment was necessary. I in no way support not punishing me because it was an "accident", I'm not one of those bitches, just the fact that I got 100 minutes of additional queue time due to my mistake.

You wouldn't have posted if you weren't whining. Your post title is whiny.

Not especially, the post title states what I wanted to discuss: What appeared to me as permanent markings on my account for month-old misconduct. What makes you think I'm whining if I agree with being punished?

Get some English comprehension education then re-write your post title because it is written as a whiny statement.

The title "Leaverbuster leaves permanent marks on players' accounts?" Is not complaining in any way, as I have said I was confused and surprised by what seemed to be a brand on my account that resulted in long-term punishments. To reiterate, I agree with being punished for my actions, however, one afk does not seem deserving of such punishments, especially after a long period of reformation.

It does I think? I received a message a couple of months ago congratulating me on not leaving any games recently and being reformed. Haven't tested it because I don't want to, but I suspect I'm back at the beginning of the LeaverBuster punishment bracket.

That isn't entirely true. A few months ago I had to leave a game due to a power outage. After about 30 or so games I got a message saying my standing with leave buster improved.

To get a 20 minute Low priority means you show a history of not connecting, leaving games early, or being AFK in games. The system already has an allowance for Emergancies and the odd connection issue.

If you want this to go away, I would work on the issues that are causing you to get leaver busted in the first place. Ie, fix connection, make sure you have plenty of time to finish the game before starting one and so on.

This is odd, because I do not leave games often, and as I mentioned in the post, I had not left any games for quite a while. This was the first offense in many months and it surprised me with the numerous lengthy queue times that were placed on my account, which is why I made the post.

If you're level 30

You get 20 minute busters

On average it takes 3 months to reset leaver buster penalty(more of the time its longer) no real knowing how long. In addition had you not played for the time after you were docked for leaving games, then your account has made 0 progress in reforming to a point where they check you off for good behavior.
