Competitive game

I joined a competitive game (6v6) and was stuck on floating boat screen. I couldn’t pick a player, nothing would register… myself and 4 others were just in limbo. If you watch our play through it shows that. But it says I abandoned the game… now I’m stuck not playing for an hour… this is no fault of my own. How do I get that time to zero out, without the wait???

I thought I was the only one dealing with the weird stuttering and not loading anything up. I’m banned as well but I’m trying to appeal this as it wasn’t my fault.

Appealing won’t do anything. Blizzard doesn’t care. Blizzard has programmed their faulty systems so they don’t have to pay attention. You’re going to be forced to wait the duration of the ban. It’s just how this game is.
