Will escalating abandon sanctions be reinstated after this issue is resolved?

Also, what kind of ban are we talking about? A two week ban like the previous time or an actual permanent ban?

Any updates regarding constant crashes on PS4 that seems to be associated with Ubi club challenges?

If they get banned, you get the MMR rollback same as if they were cheating. I don't think they will rollback for games where it was an attack on a different game but the same server as it would probably be too difficult to identify and verify those matches.

Any plans to undo the affects that DDOS'd games had on ranked MMR?

I see there’s mention of Microsoft partners but what about Sony? Siege is essentially in an unplayable state in the platinum and up rankings.

We currently host 3 matches per server. When a server crashes, or when a DDoS/DoS attack occurs, this results in 3 matches being impacted and taken offline.

This explains a lot. Where it before appeared like ddosing was in super low ranks as well, it was likely just effect from a high rank game on the same server.

Also times where I'm in a 5 stack and know none of my teammates ddosed, yet we're on defense so it's working in our favor and looks as if it's us doing it.. also just effect from a different game on the same server.

We have identified the worst offenders perpetuating these DDoS/DoS attacks, and will be initiating a ban wave. This will apply to both PC and Console players.

Can we get some more detail on this? For example if someone was just paying a 3rd party site to do it, do they get off scott free or were they identified as well? By the wording I'm afraid only people doing it themselves will face any repercussions.

Does this apply to consoles? You wouldn't believe the MMR I've lost from ddosers

Is mmr rollback thing for consoles too?

That's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about console players being given back MMR lost in games with DDOSing.

Will this affect only the current season or previous seasons? Because I'd really like to have that 500 elo last season that I lost to DDoSers which left me in plat 1 instead of diamond

i feel like they are only talking about pc not console, did you guys know the PERSON WITH the highest mmr on ps4 is 6 thousand and last season he was 7 thousand... the top 5 guys on ps4 have only 1 loss and like 300+ wins and for some reason they are still getting 89 mmr per game WTF
