Leaver Buster

Dear Riot, Last night I had to afk, due to reasons I may not release, and logged on this morning to discover that I had leaver buster. I haven't actually had leaver buster for a really long time now, about 5 months. I logged on this morning and tried to get into queue and the leaver buster is 20 minutes. How come my leaver buster hasn't been reduced? I haven't left a game in a very long time, and I don't have very much time to go through the leaver buster. Can someone explain why the time hasnt been reduced in 5 months? Does it ever reduce?

I'm not sure about the technical side of Leave Buster, but it seems to only happen when you leave your games often. I would think it decay after 5 months. So I assume you probably left more games earlier than that!

Yes it does. I received a notification from riot on my client, saying that because I haven't left any games recently, my profile status has improved. Basically riot said my low priority was reduced to 5 minutes again. But my total play time is not that high, maybe you were playing for a long time and you went afk often in the past so you are still recovering. This actually happens to a friend of mine who went afk a lot in the past but now he 's been clean for months but still gets 20 minute low priority if he goes afk, so it seems like a logical explanation.
