My friends and I (full pre-made team) entered a normal game. When we noticed our jungler (Skarner) forgot smite, we were invaded and killed promptly. We decided it would be a huge headache so we requested that the enemy pushed us while we waited in base. We were sitting in base, (not afk) waiting for them. At the post-game screen, we all got leaverbuster warnings? What gives?
Warnings do nothing at all. Just that someone reported you and it just is giving you a heads up that its not cool.
It will take a lot of warnings before punish actually happens (Never listen to the threads here about people getting permabanned fast, it takes 3 bans(x days, 2 weeks, perma) to perma and your very first ban is next to impossible to get if you are an average alright player)
Just listen to what it said and try not to do it again. It sounds like they probably used negative attitude on you since afk report ive never heard of giving you a warning. If this is the only time you ever did it, just ignore it. If this is a reoccuring thing, just think twice about it since the automated system is merciless, its hard to get in trouble for a good player, but if you are already going downhill, it will drop you quick.
If my assumption is correct you never actually left the base or attacked an enemy player. If that is so then the system noticed that you weren't playing the game according to the rules and was possibly being a troll, something it intended to try to prevent.

You don't need to worry about it. Riot knows that emergencies come up, and so leaverbuster won't actually punish you unless you start leaving games pretty often.
If you leave 1 game in every 75-100 or so, you'll be fine, the less you leave, the less likely you'll ever get punished by leaverbuster.
Leaverbuster registers by frequency.
I'm fairly certain warnings have no affect on anything like rewards behavior-related. They're just automated systems to let you know to change behavior, which if it was just a forgotten smite then it's not a big deal.
Leaverbuster does watch you for a while and I can say that from experience.
First time I got "busted" was during the Bilgewater event where the new HUD was crashing tons of peoples games.
After that, it'd get me after about 3 games missed, and those games werent even close to each other.
I got "busted" twice after the Bilgewater event for only a couple missed games when I had never gotten punished before Bilgewater for the same amount of missed games.
Recently, I got a little popup saying "thanks for not leaving games" pretty much and that my account was back to normal status, meaning Leaverbuster has stopped stalking me for now.
As long as you don't leave any games you're fine. If you afk or leave more games, eventually Leaverbuster is going to take action.
If you open mid you're not supposed to sit in base for more than a couple of minutes. Either walk around the jg or build glass and let the enemies kill you
only affect it should have is it'll take one less warning of leaver buster before you get punished. just be a good player and don't afk :).
Its cool though, sense you were in a full premade. ^_^. Its dumb you got reported for leaverbuster though??? Full premade lol. who reported xD
