Probably has to do with elite queue. It doesn't count as a non-top five finish?

This guy knows what's up

Explain what happenes when you finish top 5 in elite, then want to play non elite game. I just did that, placed 15th and got the "you're forgiven and back in queue" message. But I wasnt playing elite! basically do i have to keep playing elite if im placing top 5 in them and cant play casual right now?

Sounds like a bug. Any sort of forgiveness should only be related to playing Elite

Sounds like you got streak forgiveness

There is loss forgiveness and streak forgiveness. They are slightly different.

Loss forgiveness is basically, "something bad happened, and it's not your fault" (e.g. didn't load in a full team) so we won't count this loss

Streak forgiveness lets you keep playing Elite if you were on a streak (Top 5 twice or more in the Elite Queue), but it will reset your streak

What about when one teammate leaves before jump/launch?

Happened to me twice already and I had to play another normal round to get back into Elite queue, but then it happened again.

Teammate abandons should also trigger loss forgiveness but I believe that it's bugged at the moment. I already have it fixed locally so it should go out with the next server patch, hopefully
