[2020] Abondoned sanction even though I've not left/afk'd in the game (sugar fright event)

Hey there PvtDjMarsman! Sorry to hear this happened! Can you let me know if you cancelled out of any matchmaking queues prior to joining the Sugar Fright Event match that gave you the sanction?

I see, thank you for explaining! The team has been looking into mid-match sanctions and the causes behind them. Can you let me know if the abandonment sanction you received mid-match forced you out of the match?


UncleFaxz, I'm so sorry you lost MMR as a result of this ban. Did you also leave any matchmaking queues prior to the game that you received the sanction in?

The sanction luckily didn't quit my match. I could still play. The actual 'ban' came after the match.

Thank you for getting back to us and confirming this.

-searched for a new match again
-found new match
-got sanctioned in the middle of the round

It could be due to leaving the matchmaking que, how long were you in it for?

The only thing I can think of is that it had found a match just before you left the que.
