What are the penalties for leaving the game or surrendering?

I have seen 2 of my friends lose honor ribbons by leaving multiple games during champion select. Their honor values on their profile stayed intact so it was not the same as a ban or "autoreport" as you mentioned. The only notable difference was that they lost their ribbons.

Another penalization of sorts is the wait time to re-enter the team select queue. If you leave champion select before the timer ticks down to 10 seconds, there is a 5 minute wait before you can search for another team to play with. If you leave with under 10 seconds to go or after you have locked in your champion, the wait will be increased to 15 minutes.

All leaves are automatically handled by the LeaverBuster. Leaver Buster is an automated system that Riot implemented to discourage players from leaving League of Legends matches.

Leaving the game during champion selection:

You will receive a punishment (if it wasn't a custom match). On the first offense, you will be unable to join the matchmaking queue for 6 minutes. For the second and following offenses, you will be unable to join the matchmaking queue for 15 minutes.

In addition to the above time penalties, if the game was a ranked match, you will lose 3 League Points for the first offense and 10LP for the second time before the timer reset.

This timer resets after 8 hours without leaving during champion select and is shared between normal and ranked games.

Leaving the game before the match is over:

A player can leave the game before the match is over. In addition to that, the Leaver Buster system will automatically kick players who remain idle for 5 minutes.

When you leave a game, you will gain no XP/IP for the abandoned game. The match will show up as a leave in your profile and a loss is added to your statistics, even if your team wins.

If a game doesn't end (for example for server issues, or because every player left the match), no penalties are given out.

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 gets first warned and then suspended for increasingly long periods of time, resulting in a permanent ban for re-iterated offenses.

If the majority of the team votes to surrender and the game ends that way, then it's a fair ending of the match. Of course, you will have lost the match and lose LP if it's a ranked game, but it's not considered a leave. You will receive IP and XP for the match.

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

Leaving the game during champion selection:

Punishment (normal match): 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.3 points In addition to the above time penalties if the game was a ranked match, the player loses 3 League Points, for the first offense and 10LP for the second time before the timer reset. This counter resets after 8 hours without leaving during champion select. This counter is shared between normal and ranked.

Leaving the game before the match is over: The Leaver Buster system will automatically kick players who remain idle for 5 minutes. Punishment (All): No XP/IP granted for the abandoned game Punishment (Normal Match): A leave is added to the player's profile. Punishment (Ranked Match): A loss is added to the player's profile. (Even if the players team wins)

If a game doesn't end (for example for server issues, or because every player left the match), no penalties are given out.

I think there are 2 obvious facts about teamplay

1) every teammate can have problem the reason can be different hardware/software/light/personal issues

2) if 1 or 2 players do not wanna or cannot play You will lose anyway

The truth is that server cannot know reasons of bad behavior of player.

I think ability to block player is more then enough. I read the nickname and whenever I want I add it blocklist. I can do that during champ selection, after game end.

So we have 2 possibilities here: afk or bad player 1) during champion selection 2) during game

so 1) we should able to quit champ selection without punishment. (remember if You quit with no reason teammates can block You) 2) surrender system after 10 minutes - 4 players required to vote yes after 15 minutes - 3 players required to vote yes

Nothing will help You if your teammate is afk or playing bad. The truth that You can open score at 10 minutes and see You have chances to win or not (if score 15 0 - no way).

If You surrendered without reason Your teammates or enemies can block You and You will never able to play with them.
