LeaverBuster Warning

Leaver Buster Warning

LeaverBuster is an automated system within League of Legends icon League of Legends implemented to discourage players from repeatedly leaving matches or idling during gameplay.[1] After leaving or idling after a certain amount of matches, 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 placed in a low priority queue for a certain amount of games. While the automated system can not suspend accounts, leaving or idling enough matches can result in permanent or temporary account suspensions.

LeaverBuster only applies to matchmade games (normal, ranked, Co-Op vs AI and game mode queues), while practice tool, tutorial and custom games will NOT trigger LeaverBuster despite a message being given. Ranked games are treated more severely by LeaverBuster than other game types.

After leaving or idling in several games, players will be placed in low priority queue for 5 games. While in low priority queue, players will have to wait an additional 5 minutes before being able to queue up for a match. Continuous leaving or idling will increase the AFK tier by 1.
