Ban System

[JaBoedy]

Not asking for unban. I can wait one day.

However I am curious about how the ban system works. I have played 275 games of deadlock. I think during that time I got mad enough to leave 3 and took my penalty. Last night Spectrum had a planned outage that I was unaware of. It kicked me off the internet and I wake up this morning to a 1 day ban.

Is there no reset of consequence for good behavior over time? I may be misremembering here, but I think it's been over 50 games since I last left one out of anger, maybe even 100. The message became clear. This isn't league, don't leave games, we'll actually punish you. Fine, but legitimate things like this happen. And to some people they happen more often than others. What happens if I log back in tomorrow and the spring storms knock out my internet again?

Truly done leaving games on purpose, and the consequences for having internet trouble are 3-4x longer than any punishment I got for actual behavior. Feels like overkill. I feel like most true "leavers" are serial leavers. Maybe implement or touch up a system to bring the penalty back down to a reasonable level for the once in a blue moon disconnect?

I am asking to be unbanned. Won a and loaded up another one. It took a couple min but its whatever and then it connected me to my previous game that already ended. Rebooted the game and same thing so I "abandoned" the match. I have a day ban now. Please help (steam ID#Papa Despair)

I actually have seen this as well. If you exit the game and restart it immediately you can join the new one. Just rejoining without exiting the game has not worked for me. I wondered what would happen if you didn't find a way to fix it though.

So yeah back to what I was saying, when you have a game that regularly kicks people off servers and then bans people for it I feel like the system needs more leniency or HIGH PRIORITY fixes

can't wait until summer come and I get a ban for 7 days because of a random power outage

I understand the reason for a ban system, but having it so you cant play the game in its entirety is just plain messed up. The game is in a invite only beta. Things are gonna go awry. I just dont want a simple bug to mess up a whole days worth of gameplay. I just wanna play :~:
