LoL Leave buster

I feel as if the game should have some way of giving a reason for leaving a game so as to reduce leave buster! I just recently played a game where I actually cut my arm at the start.. I go to get a plaster and come back to find my team early surrendered though I told them what I was doing.. so I got leavebuster. I was also wondering if any others have had any siimilar scenarios and if there are any solutions at all. I feel as if this should be stopped.. I was away for probably just over 2 minutes so it doesnt seem fair to me that I now have to wait 20 minutes 5 times so 100 minutes in total.. because my team does not listen.

Not my problem.

Your reasons as to why you are not there are absolutely not my concern. All I care about is whether you are there and participating or not. If you are not then you will be reported/flagged by leaver buster. It's actually a great system and clearly working as intended.

when you miss the first minutes you'll prob end up losing your role anyway.

and you won't get any Leaver Buster for going afk now and then, you'll have to go afk more than 1 time to actually get one.

The AFK timer kicks in at 5 minutes, I believe.

That said, I feel like if this were implemented EVERYONE who AFK'd would just say they had a valid reason every time, and Riot would have no way of checking.

You do not get leaverbustered for one game. You do not get leaverbustered for one game.

The system is specifically designed so that people who leave infrequently for valid reasons, such as injury, you will not be punished. You either leave frequently, have a pattern of leaving constantly that is not improving, and/or afk/intentionally left games for no reason.
