Hey Sn34kz, I definitely understand the point of pain created by DDoS attacks, and how irritating the situation can be. We did address our plans and comment on DDoS, and have an upcoming announcement about community concerns upcoming.

Just wanted to add this post explains the proper way to submit a DDoS Player Report!

It is important to understand there is a difference between Lobby Freezing and DDoSing. DDoSing has a separate process than Lobby Freezing. Lobby Freezers are the ones being kicked. This lets the match to continue once they have been disconnected. Lobby Freezers get stacked abandon sanctions the more they continue to do it. Since they are being removed from the match, there is no point to Lobby Freezing since they are being removed.
With DDoS, DDoSers are being investigated as stated in the Top Issues Blog. We have banned known DDoSers in the past and should continue to do so after a thorough investigation.
