First of all I love league of legends and respect Riot and most of their punishments. But 20 minutes is absurd! I realize I should be punished for leaving. The only reason I leave games is because of connection issues and I have a life (believe it or not) outside of this game. Once again I respect the punishment of 5-10 minutes for 5 games. But 20 minutes is too much my dude. I hope league continues to grow and doesn't nerf twitch. Thank you.
The thing is, everyone who plays League has a life outside of this game. And the other four players on your teams suffer when you leave games, whether it is due to a connection issue that you cannot control, or because you chose to disconnect. If you know you have connection issues, then you know what the risk is when you queue up to play a match. It may seem a bit harsh to say it this way, but if you knowingly make that choice, then it's up to you to face the consequences of that choice, which is a LPQ penalty that escalates if you continue to leave matches.
And as far as having a life.... well, to be frank, if you don't have time to finish a match, don't queue up for one. Or if you do queue up for matches, but abandon them because you decide to go do other things, don't complain if you face the consequences for leaving the matches.
It's pretty rare that you will find players who actually like it when they have a d/c on their team, or when they have to play 4v5, or 2v3. It makes the matches infinitely harder, and in some cases completely unwinnable. If you spend much time on the Boards, you will see a fair amount of squabbling between players as far as what exactly is considered "negative" or "toxic" or what constitutes this rule violation or that one, but what you will almost always see people agreeing on is leavers/afks. About the only people I ever see not agreeing about it are the ones who are under the 20 minute LPQ, like yourself. In game, you can have a team that is screaming at each other, but let one person quit or disconnect and all the others will pipe up with "rprt x9 plz thx." It's the fastest way to make a team work together. Too bad it involves putting the team at such an amazing disadvantage, and has the potential to tilt some players into oblivion.
Alright, after reading your comments I see my wrong doing. I just wanted to share my opinion on the 20 minute ban. I can see why people who get the ban from rage quiting or other childish reasons. I hope you guys can at least look through my perspective of being frustrated when you laterally HAVE to do something during a match just to come back to a 20 minute ban. Thank you guys for your response.
Why?
The leavebuster punishment is there to encourage you to make sure you can sit through an entire game without interruptions.
If you recognize you frequently have connection issues or real life interruptions, you need to solve that problem yourself. Because your team sure can't.
If you have so many issues you get to 20 minutes, you might need to stop and evaluate if you should actually play League any more.
I have punishment 10 min that sucks,cuz this is a lot of my time.Riot Fix it pls.(PLEASE NERF MF)
It should be more, because you've wasted 4 other players time for at least 20 minutes, multiple times. That can add up to multiple hours of time waste because of you, and only you, and you think you should be punished what, 10 mins??
This punishement sucks, beside all the Lag and the ugly ping, my pc has a problem, it sometimes reboot itself while im using my pc, i didn't ment to Be AFK or something, it's unfair :( even though i reconnect as fast as possible but i find that they've already lunched the punishement. :( at least reduce it's time to 5-10 at most :( Please.
Well they do it for people who leave queue's to troll and such so.... idk.....get better internet/ play on days when you have free time :|
