BAN for Idling in the Hideout

[J377YF1SH]

I had idled in the hideout for about 30 minutes while I fed my cats after playing a couple of matches in a row. When I attempted to queue for another match, I instantly crashed. When I came back, it asked if I would like to reconnect to the match that I had abandoned. I loaded in and instantly the match had the "Someone DCd <10 minutes in" sign in the top corner. The match hadn't even started yet, as everyone was standing around in the sewer. I don't care about the 24hr temp ban I now have to serve, nor the fact that it instantly put me into low prio queue because I've crashed so often since the winter update came out. I'm more upset about the fact that I literally had no chance to know this was coming. I suppose from now on I'll just turn the game off instead of waiting in the hideout at all? I tend not to do this since it takes so long to preload the map even on the lowest graphical settings.

I had the same thing happen to me last night. The only thing I can think is I left a game that a teammate abandoned the previous match after the "Leaving this match will not result in a Loss: This Match Will Not Be Scored". I paused the game during this waited for the afk teammates to come back and 1 of 2 returned. The only reason for me to banned was because I played badly at characters that I'm not good at in order to unlock the snowballs...

I mention all of these things because it says Low Priority Queue in Red and it says some other things in gray boxes to the left of it. I'm not sure if theyre relevant
