Okay so let's say one of these things happen, power goes out, internet shuts down or goes out, computer closes lol client for no reason, insane amounts of lag. If any of those things happen while you're in a game you STILL have to wait through a leaverbuster which is complete stupidity. Riot games, YOU need to add tracking software into your client that detects the the source of why a player was disconnected from you're client. Because frankly me and a lot of other people are tired if waiting through leverbusters weather they be one time of 5 minutes. Or waiting 20 minutes for 5 games in a row. You're not punishing anyone but your selves from not letting people play your game. Please fix your garbage excuse for a leaverbuster system. Or give me(us) a VERY detailed explanation on why it would be either impossible or improbable to do this. Thanks

Oh no, a 5-10 minute "punishment". Whatever will you do.

Or simply make the system more forgiving like it used to be, allow 1 leave per some # of games before it kicks in

They need to just make it as a glorified dodge timer, beginning when the game ends, and resetting at midnight server time.

First time will be 30 minutes, and second time will be 2 hours, it will do its job and not piss off players into permanently quitting which ruins business because of less customers

The actual reason is very simple though: all Riot can tell is that you suddenly lost connection. They can tell if you hit the Quit button, but the can't tell if you shut down your computer, force quit the program, turned off your internet, or had a power outage, too much lag, or something else entirely.
