For context, what happened here was that steam was having an existential crisis with cloud forcing me to reboot the game and fix cloud (all and all took 10 seconds) during this time i was in matchmaking looking for a game, and I did find a game HOWEVER due to me closing the game it classified me as abandoning the game, but when i did join the game, it had not even started... It did not cancel... everything was as normal, just that I got a penalty for closing the game for 10 seconds (could be fixed by just removing the player from que the moment they close the game and if they got a game the moment they closed the program, replacing said player with another in there place like nothing happened)
But if someone at valve or the deadlocked team could do a favor for everyone and tune down the ban requirements a bit, like allowing you to leave for [X] seconds total or rejoining during the staring phase not giving a penalty would be nice, as computers dying is something that happens
