I really like Deadlock, but after having the game bug out multiple times and unable to rejoin ANY match where the game has bugged for some reason. This last time, the whole game went crazy when I died, I could see through stuff, and my death timer got to 1 second and then just stayed there. After awhile, I had no choice but the kill Deadlock to rejoin, then it did an update before it let me join... weird but ok.
Once joined back in (maybe 90 seconds after leaving and updating). Like usual, I could see the rejoin button, but it just made a ding noise, and nothing happened, no errors, just nothing. I kept clicking it. After googling, I tried to walk to the test area, which loaded, then I came back to starter area, but it said I would leave the match if I did this. Then I got a red message box in the top right saying, "the match could be abandoned for a lose, but no penalty.". I didn't trust it and was stuck in the test area, as it just kept saying I would abandon match if I left test area.
I left it like this for like 30m, sure the match was over, still couldn't rejoin match, still can't leave test area. So now its been almost an hour, I just left the test area. Everything was normal, I was able to queue a regular Deadlock match... wow. After I finished that match, I tried to re-queue... guess what, I am banned for 24 hours and now in low priority match making. This is crazy, over the 2 weeks I been playing, I received a 15m ban, then a 2h ban, then a 6h ban, and now a 24h ban. The worst part is, I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY LEFT A MATCH. The first 3 times it was me just clicking queue, it fails to load, and I can never join the match. The last time, I was in a game, the game went haywire, and I tried to rejoin, fear that if I stayed in the game unable to respawn that I would be marked afk or something and get banned. No matter what I do, the game just decides to ban me.
Progressive banning is really hardcore punishment for a game that apparently from the other forum posts and my own experiences, seems to have a lot of issues not letting players join, or crashing and not letting them rejoin games. I could see low priority queue's or something... but banning when the game itself is to blame (at least for 100% of my bans). Come on Valve man.
