Entering Sandbox mode just as a game is found = Abandon

[Nicoji]

So this is the 2nd time this has happened now:

I like to play around in the Hero Sandbox while I queue up for games. However if you happen to click "Hero Sandbox" just as a game is found(this can happen in a split second), you will enter the sandbox BUT it resuslts in you having abandoned the game!! And you cannot rejoin.
I NEVER abandom matches, and now I have 2 abandons. This time resulting in a 30 minute ban!

How it should work: An example from Rocket League. If I enter training the second a match is found, it enters me into training for 1 second, after which it loads into the match.

Until this is fixed I recommend NOT trying to enter Sandbox during "fidning match".

Bumping this thread, I experienced the same issue.

I accidentally clicked the "Hero Sandbox" button while looking at a Hero in the "Heroes" menu right as a match was loading. This immediately put me in the hero sandbox. I left the hero sandbox immediately, but didn't see an option to rejoin the match and couldn't start a new search (temp ban as a result of abandon).

I would expect the "Hero Sandbox" button to be disabled after a match is found. Hope this report is noticed, it's a pretty serious bug.

This just happened to me, too. Just bumping to note that this bug is still present in the latest patch. Looks like this has happened to a handful of other folks in other threads.

I have a similar issue: I have accidentally clicked on Hero Sandbox while trying to rejoin a match in progress and now I can't exit the sandbox without abandoning said match and get temp banned

Still a problem; hasn't been fixed where you are banned.

would like to bump this thread. i got an abandonment warning (screenshot attached) for trying to leave a sandbox that had popped just as i was supposed to load into a match. no visible penalty or matchmaking ban seems to have been imposed against me, at least. i think this would be my only match abandonment if it did count.

If anyone gets this pop-up, do not abandon. You should be able to alt+f4 and relaunch the game to get to the main menu with the rejoin option available. Hopefully this works for others, I've only had this issue once and got around it this way

didn't work for me. I tried to re-join to the game, but it was joining to the Sandbox every time
