Hey, don't know if this is a known issue, if this is accidental, or if it's purposely done for the current event, but I was playing the event full stacked and mid game, my internet crapped out so I got kicked from the game due to connectivity issues. I'm back in the game menu, still in my squad, waiting for them to finish the game. As soon as they're done and back in the menu, I get this thing over my screen that says:



SUSPENDED

ABANDON PENALTY

You are currently suspended from the following playlists(s): Event, Ranked, Unranked for 30 minute(s) due to an Abandon Penalty. You will also be subject to a penalty of -50% of renown gain during this period of suspension.


Does this usually happen with event games? I've never had this happen to me with other events when my internet crapped out on me, so this left me confused.

Hey,

I'm sorry to hear that. The abandonment sanction will still apply if you disconnect (even if it's not your fault) because there is no way for it to know if a player is making themselves disconnect on purpose to avoid an abandonment sanction if it didn't apply and I have seen this happening to others during the event games too.

We are unable to provide anything back for getting an abandonment sanction, remove temporary suspensions, and we are also unable to modify player ranks unfortunately.
