It surprises me that the game can't detect whether a disconnection is related to a problem with your internet or a problem with Cloudflare/Riot's servers. I never intentionally leave games and yet I got a 60 minute ban after today's Cloudflare router problem.
I know some people might say "it's only a 1 hour ban", but don't ban times accumulate? I have literally disconnected twice ever, once because my power went out and today because Cloudflare sh*t itself again. Also I'm not sure if this is true, but don't I get less EXP in the future by disconnecting?
I just think Valorant needs to stop giving cooldowns because of servers problems. I'm telling you right now, it's not gonna make your players happy or motivate them to play if they’re worried about getting a 1+ hour ban because of something they can't control.
Riot in a way treat AFKs better than disconnections like this. It's pretty pathetic. The amount of people I have reported for being AFK in ranked without getting auto-kicked is laughable.
