@Riot/A board warden about bans

invisiblecat1··1 votes·236 views

About 3 years ago, in a bot game I had latency issues with Verizon and was constantly disconnecting mid game (although I kept trying to reconnect), and afterwards I got banned (for one day I believe) Hypothetically, if I were to get banned right now, for anything, would the ban be 2 days or one day? Thanks

Punishments for leaves, afks, disconnects, and the like are generally handled by LeaverBuster. You shouldn't get an actual suspension from that system unless you are constantly leaving many games. Generally all you will get is a "low priority queue" - which will just require you to wait between 5 and 20 minutes before finding a game for your next 5 games after the punishment is placed.

Any idea on how long ago the leaver buster system was implemented, as I know I did not get banned for toxicity as no chat log was attached?

Years ago.

Not nearly specific enough, as this ban was from "years ago"

I don't have an exact date, but I know the system has been around a long time and has evolved over time - so it's possible that your punishment back then was by LeaverBuster. But the system as it works now should not be issuing bans - those would be manually done and only for repeat or extreme offenders.

At least 2014. I think it was in early 2014.
