Changes: LeaverBuster

Revision as of 08:07, 18 December 2018

Leaver Buster is an automated punishment system implemented to discourage players from leaving matchmade League of Legends matches.

After receiving a certain number of leaves, which varies depending on the total number of games played and the distance in time between each leave, the player account is initially warned and then suspended for increasingly long periods of time, eventually escalating to a permanent ban.

Leaving champion selection

Queue timeout:
- 1st offense - Player is unable to join the matchmaking queue for 6 minutes.
- 2nd and following offenses - Player is unable to join the matchmaking queue for 15 minutes.
- 5 offenses or more - Player is unable to join the matchmaking queue for 20 minutes.
Additionally, if in ranked queue:
- 1st offense - Player loses 3 League Points.
- 2nd and following offenses - Player loses 10 League Points.

This counter is shared in both ranked and normal queue, and resets after 8 hours without leaving during champion select. However, queue timeout offenses do not reset.

Leaving an ongoing match

The Leaver Buster system will automatically kick players who remain idle for 5 minutes. If a game doesn't end (for example for server issues, or because every player left the match), no penalties are given out.

Punishment (All matches): No XP granted for the abandoned game.
Punishment (Normal match): A leave is added to the player's history.
Punishment (Ranked match): A loss is added to the player's history. (Even if the player's team wins)
