Leaver Buster

I feel like the leaverbuster system could be made better. Much of the time, leaverbuster punishes people with freak incidents, or internet problems (life happens guys) I know how many people say, test your ping in a custom game and stuff, but sometimes, internet errors are specific to PvP, because there are more keystroke inputs than in let's say PvE. Additionally, sometimes, your game might randomly crash, and you have to restart your computer. then when you log back on to finish the game with your team, you get a leaver buster penalty.

I think that if a person disconnects within the first 3 or 5 minutes of a game the game should be disbanded if no kills occurred (basically first 3 minion waves lol). Or it should work on a strike system. Toxic players get reported anyways, so yeah. Oh, and give players the opportunity to surrender once a guy disconnects. that would be helpful, as some people are not interested in playing a 5v4. The LP loss for DCed players is fine, and I respect that. Just the leaverbuster is a bit too harsh of a penalty I feel like for random freak incidents going on in real life, and people having internet problems.

There is built in leniency for occasional issues. If you are getting punished those things are happening too often and you need to take steps to reduce them and not just hope they don't happen again. Punishments aren't for individual leaves, but leaving games at an unacceptable rate.

I totally agree that games should be disbanded if someone doesn't connect after 5 or so minutes, but it should still be a strike against the person who caused it.
