Thank you for this message leaver buster it truly made me a little happier after winning my promos :)

Although I may have disconnected from games before, it was not my fault--->There were issues with my connection, my client crashed or I had trouble loading in (old mac load in time was problematic :P THANKS FOR FOCUSING ON IT!).

I have never:

Rage quit Stopped playing in the middle of a game Disconnected to make our team lose Bullied somebody into quitting/rage quitting Got up during a game to do something

Has anyone else gotten a message like this? Does this mean I will be put in higher priority queues? Does this do anything to your account? Will this make it easier for me to get into the PBE?

I have not been able to play long enough to get that. Similar things have happened to me, and I have never AFKed on purpose But good for you, you got an improved status. This clearly indicates that your claims are legit and you deserve it.

As for the PBE, I don't really know how they look at that specifically, but I hope you get it

OBVIOUSLY YOU DID DISCONNECT!!!! Lol, I know where you're coming from though. I got a leaver buster for a few game crashes I had one day. I wasn't upset about it, but I was slightly disappointed since I really didn't want to DC.

It just means you're less likely to get a Leaver Buster penalty. There's no high priority matchmaking, just the standard and "low priority" penalized.

I've been in pretty much the same situation; my old laptop would overheat and shut down every now and then and I got a 5 (I think) min queue. A month or two after getting a new computer (since lol = crack apparently) I got this message.

Psychologically this kind of "unexpected reward" for improving behavior is just as effective as (or actually, even more effective than) punishment. (e.g. http://www.intropsych.com/ch05_conditioning/intermittent_reinforcement.html )

Thats actually scary that if it happened to me a bit more, I could be at a greater risk :(

Well, Yesterday I had to deal with a constant 800 ms while playing Zed :| You know how difficult it was to land a single goddamn shuriken?! The only funny thing is that my enemy mid laner couldn't kill me even though at some points, Zed just wouldn't fucking move and just sat there, waiting to be killed.
