Can We Possibly Update Leaver Buster

ScottieSeashells··1 votes·347 views

In those once in a blue moon daily ranked games where the pre game lobby didn't go so hot and now 3 of your 4 team mates are trying to troll each other instead of win, and are insulting each other using profanity every time they talk, you just want to leave. Why do we get punished for leaving those games for not wanting to deal with that garbage for 20 full minutes? Is there some way to not be penalized for those kinds of games?

Or do we just deal with it and hope everyone surrenders at 20?

you dont wait 20 mins for dodging queue every now and then... you get 20 mins dodge penalty for for doing it at a high frequency

so it works as intended

It's not "once in a blue moon" if you are getting 20 minute timers

I just did a "once in a blue moon" leave last night and got hit with the 20 minute penalty. I did have a few leaves(a few were my fault, most were things out of my control) before that I worked off the penalty but I have played a CRAP TON of games with no leaves, so this system definitely isn't "fair".

But it's not designed to be "fair". It's designed to make sure people don't leave. It doesn't care if someone has a bad connection, an emergency comes up, some connection error on Rito's end is the problem, or if the leaver just had a bad game and rage quit. It's not fair, but I must admit it is EFFECTIVE.

The system isn't meant to be fair. The system only cares that making your team 4 v 5 is unfair.

Yes, that's exactly what I said. For years Leaverbuster has been designed to enforce that once you commit to a game, NOTHING takes precedence over that game.

Internet goes out? Hack into your neighbors wifi and finish the game.

Relative get sick or in an accident? Finish the game then go check up on them later.

Boss calls for a work emergency? You can't work now! You have to finish this game!

House on fire? You better finish this game! Even if it means the firefighters have to dig your charred corpse from the burnt down remains of your house the next morning.

Leaverbuster is not fair, and in some cases it's downright cruel. But it WORKS, and the LPQ is also more effective than some of the other minor punishments dished out from LB. Like I said before, it's not fair but it is EFFECTIVE and sometimes it's more important to be effective than fair.
