[2020] Bans for Match Quitting and Idling

Got banned for “EA anticheat” on Xbox one despite it being impossible to cheat on consoles. Someone must’ve spam reported me for fragging as Topnotch 🤷🏻‍♂️

What about unintentional disconnects? Can you offer the ability to reconnect to a match that’s still going on?

What about the issue with the game freezing and then shutting down on Xbox?

Does this new policy take that into account?

So do bans only take place in Ranked? Or is it casuals too?

Also, I feel like there should be a warning period first, since from what I can tell there is no indication that leaving will ban you in the game that I can tell. So if you leave a game, it should warn you that leaving can result in punishments.

Also, permabanning leavers is kind of iffy imo. I agree leavers should be punished, but a severe punishment such as permabanning someone is a bit much. Especially since this game's target audience seems to be younger.

I feel like there should be a time out, like other games, where when you leave a match you cannot join for 5 minutes, and then after someone triggers that enough it moves to 10 minutes, and just keeps growing until eventually they are running on day long time outs.
I don't know how hard something like that would be to program, though, but I think league had/has something similar. At least in casuals, Ranked should hold a more severe penalty.

I would also recommend, if possible, in casuals replacing leavers with bots. That way there is at least something there, because 1v3 isn't fun for either team imo.
But in Ranked, if possible, the leaver should be locked out of joining any other match until the current ranked match is finished, and if they don't rejoin they get a timer penalty.

I'm just making suggestions. I've always been pretty on the fence when it came to leaver penalty, especially in the form of bans. And since the current player base seems relatively small, I'd hate to see a bunch get banned because they got frustrated because they are new to the game, going up against a level 100 (which I imagine is the main reason for leaving).

I just got this game today and I do not think permabanning idle players is a good idea at all, the game has low player counts as it is and punishing people that hard just because they had to do something for 2 minutes, in my opinion is too much and will drive off new players from this game. The game is targeted at a younger audience and even if you are not that audience some people need to do things sometimes. Maybe a time out like what games like halo, siege etc do would be better, and then let people join halfway through a match to stop it from being unfair 1v3's or 1v2's because no one wants to be in a match where it feels like its rigged against you and you cant leave because you will get banned or suspended.

How do I know if I’ve been temporarily banned or permanently banned? It just says “anti-cheat” banned?
