Ok I understand punishment and I'm not running or denying. But this is just silly. My last game power went off and I manged to return into game and we win. I apologized to my tram, they were cool. This automatic restriction is ridiculous. Ofc now I got to wait some time to get in Q for a few games.

I had problems in past with power and internet so this is not first time I get this. I'm honor 5 player this and last season. Don't flame or argue with my team.

My problem is that I returned into game, won a game, apologized to my team and after game I get leavebuster penality... just why

Quite surprisingly, I agree. If you come back and win you shouldn't get a loss. Otherwise you are disincentivized to come back.

What happen if you returned to the game and still lose the game? Do you take the lost and not get LB penalty? Or do you just take the lost and get LB penalty?

If the criteria to returning to the game and not get LB'd is winning the game, that is would be absurd because you get to afk for more than 5 minutes forcing your team to hard carry 4v5 not knowing if you will be back or not and you get no penalty for it. Is this fair to the team?

If simply returning to the game, apologize to the team and not get LB'd win or lose, that would be abused all to hell. A troll can just afk for 10-15 minutes to make sure his team lose, reconnect, pretend to apologize to team and get no LB penalty? Is that fair?

Yes it is, and i hate it! I can understand punishing people for leaving etc, that why it's needed...

"Punishing" people because of connections issues or power going off like in your case is kinda borderline, but needed, otherwise it's gonna be abused.

And then... Giving low priority queue because of problems within the client (which is always why i get "punished" btw, i would never dodge or leave intentionally and pc/connections are fine too) is simply stupid, imho.

I'm not an expert, so i just hope they'll find a way to distinguish people who actually need the punishment and simple victims that happen to have bad luck for 2/3 games and then find themself in low priority queue...
