Leaverbuster :/

Okay, recently I've had troubles with leaverbuster and it's slightly frustrating. In the game that just recently finished, I left (and note this was about 7 minutes into the game) to go and get my dog from outside because he got out of the front door when my mother came in. I was gone for literally 4 minutes and the game had finished at least a minute before I got back. Therefore, after 3 minutes, I managed to be gone long enough for the leaverbuster to catch me.

This confuses me because The game was about 15 minutes long and now I am forced to wait 50 whole minutes, despite it being a 15 minute game, in order to play 5 games. Most of which I might not even enjoy because the amount of toxic players I see are overwhelming....

Feel free to call me out or whatever... But it's still frustrating. Does anyone else have this problem? I feel like you should only get leaverbusted if your team reports you for it. I mean, what's the whole point of the AFK section on report this player if that person already got leaverbusted?

Bad timing wrecked your game. and besides...there's other things you can do while you wait for league.

Like, play with your dog...or do some housework/something else. (average person can do a sink of dishes and vacuum in the space of 50 minutes or watch an anime episode with time to make a bowl of popcorn)

don't glue yourself to the computer waiting for a timer when you can do soo much more productive things. (like study mobafire guides for later usage, because eventually you'll return...with better ideas on how to ult the enemy team into oblivion.)

Sorry bout yer luck chummer, but hopefully you got some good ideas in the downtime.

Yeah honestly i guess thats the way the cookie crumbles. My leaverbuster timer went up to 20:00 because ive crashed for long periods of time + things just come up so i completely know where your coming from. Thing is Riot cant tell if its really that or your a troll or some salty player who afk's out of rage. Unfortunately its the few assholes who ruin it for all of us so leaver buster is just REALLY strict. But reporting someone can get them banned/suspended and if they are reported for afk it basically does nothing. Reporting is only acted upon if its verbal abuse/trolling or hacks. Anything afk related just sends you to Leaverbuster.
