over the last two days I have received this error 3 times.
The error occurs before the game even starts.
Each time I have been penalized a large chuck of SR totaling over 300 SR, such that I have dropped down to silver . I have also received penalties to my endorsements (down from almost 4 to 2) and are am now on 2 hr bans from queuing.
I am feeling greatly aggrieved by this as I have been penalized unfairly for technical problems on the server end.
Please investigate and restore my lost SR and endorsements. if I have to Q in silver anymore I will quit this game for good.
Sorry to inform you, but Blizzard does no reinstate SR penalties. If you start disconnecting, take a break from Competitive Play and investigate the connection issue.
