[2019] Normal game leave buster ?

Originally posted by AfroJack #RAW: Why you don't introduce a normal game leave buster guys ? I'm sick of seeing people leaving when we are ahead or even after a lost round, then I and the rest of the team must fight 4 vs 5 and most probably lose the game because some kid think he's too good for us. I know there is leave buster in unranked games but why you don't introduce it to normal as well ? Not all of us want to play a long unranked game, maybe some short normals are enough, but not with all the leavers. It's not fair, maybe you'll fix it.

Thank you for your input! I apologize for your inconvenience with players leaving matches. The issue with players leaving is the system is not able to detect the intent of why that player disconnected. The player may have lost power or their PC crashed. There are people who also purposely disconnect the match because they are tilted or are not enjoying the game. There is no way for the system to tell the difference between the scenarios.
The team is aware of the increase of reports of players abandoning matches and is closely monitoring reports from the community.
