Kicked Out of Ranked Mid-Match

[Zootii]

My game bugged and completely froze mid-match (about ten minutes in) and now I cannot rejoin because my game just says the Valve ANti-Cheat challenge timed out after two seconds of hitting the rejoin button. So I'm completely screwed and I've been playing all day. My steam is "installed correctly" and the only programs I ahd runnign were the same ones I always have running. Spotify, Discord, SteelSeries GG. I've had my game lock up before, and gets me destroyed mid-match, but I've always been able to reconnect. After today's patch, I played two rounds of the hero labs mode, went to play ranked, game locked up, now the "challenge" is timing out.

I was jsut able to rejoin after posting, but now two other people are missing and the game is a wash. And I'm probably relegated to low-prio lobbies.
