Seriously WTF Blizzard.
I get disconnected in the middle of a ranked game and I’m not allowed to rejoin the match because now I’m suspended for “leaving”. Way to ruin the match for both my team and I. I really hope they were able to win the 5v6 without me. I needed to vent, this suspension is just ridiculous.
Anyone else have to deal with this BS?
Unfortunately all disconnections and game crashes counts as leaving the match and will be penalized appropriately. The game server has no way to discern a legitimate disconnection or game crash from one that is forcefully caused by a dishonest player to bypass leaver penalties. You can learn about this policy here:
Remember if you see the message, “Lost Connection to the Server” in the title screen or the message “Failed to Connect to Server” in red text in the text chat box, this means there is something that disrupted your connection to the game server and not a problem with the game server itself. There can be a variety of reasons this happens including those that don’t disconnect your computer from the Internet. There is great troubleshooting to start with that can most likely resolve most issues and I encourage you to check them out here:
As always if nothing in that guide works, please start a new post in the Technical Discussion forum saying you completed these steps and additional advice can be provided. Good luck!
