Penalty For Crashing

hisori

I've been blue screened twice and hit offline once in the past day and still get a two-hour ban eachtime, both things are out of my control and I still get banned, even when I come back and play. **** this ****.

This is because I had to leave in a spike rush game. Not even a full unrated game and I get a whole 60 minute ban from playing?? How is this worse than league bans?

This game just keeps getting worse if being AFK for one game of SPIKE RUSH gets you 60 minutes ban.

Darkmario66 While I agree that quit-outs due to BSOD's or connection errors should not be punished, quitting ANY MATCH or AFKing for any reason (for prolonged periods, e.g. a whole round) SHOULD be punished by this 60-minute ban. It's so annoying, no matter if it's unrated or spike rush, when players on either team AFK or quit. If you start a match, play through it. Being AFk for some time is understandble (bathroom, grabbing a bite, etc.) but AFKers for more than 2 rounds are, sadly, common.

They really need to work on that

Why is there a cool down after reconnecting to a match after a connection error? Little unjust.

Hello,

I just start a game, it was on character screen, I pick class. Game kicks me cause something about internet connection.
I still had connection with the internet. So I restart game and try to play game: 1 HOUR COOLDOWN.

Fix this? What is going on. Im mad

Protokk

I have no clue have you tried to do an internet speed test?

An hour long for something that was entirely out of my control. Nice.

I was not present on my pc when the choosing character screen was on. I didn't choose a character and come to find out I get an hour suspension from the game. Why? I agree I was making people wait 1 minute. However I don't think I should be suspended for an hour. That's just stupid. Just make it auto pick an agent or something. I think like a 5 minute ban is fine, not an hour like wtf. Thanks to that suspension it allowed me to spend part of my valuable hour on a complaint about a trash thing in the game.

I agree. This game seems not to tolerate busy people, to play it, you have to forget the real world and focus on the game!

Sergio nothing was mentions of the real world he said his game crashed or his internet went down both of them are out of his control

[unknown] that's so dumb i doubt his WiFi went off because of the weather you don't even know why it went off he also said he blue screened and that's 100% out of his control don't assume his WiFi went off because of the weather

I dont understand your Problem. When you have a bad Internet on this Place, dont play. Simply.
When you only have a DC, you can reconnect, nothing happen. Talking about "not under my Control" is absolutly stupid.

So, you can tell - Oh, I made an accident, but it wasn't my fault, it was the weather that caused it. If there is 20cm of snow you don't drive.

If you were punished, it was because you had been away long enough and the other players can't help that you don't care that you want to play with a bad connection anyway.

I have no pity, sorry.

I understand the need to penalize players who intentionally leave games. However, I feel it is unfair to penalize players who legitimately lose connection to the game. I have lost connection to the game a couple of times and got penalized for it. Yea its not hard to wait for the hour penalty but its still really annoying, especially when I am trying to play with friends.

You have no way to tell if it was a rage quit or connection issue etc. Like someone said earlier. You can re-connect back to the game and you will be fine. You don't or wait way too long then you get the penalty. If it seems to happen every now and then, then maybe you shouldn't be playing until you fix your connection. Or accept the punishment.

people have to leave for less than 5 minutes and are getting 1 hour suspensions like internet going down or literally going to the toilet the ban shouldn't even go higher than 20 minutes especially when its unrated when ranked comes out it would be more understandable
