I cancelled my Queue and get penalized for leaving?

I literally had something to do so I went ahead to cancel my queue just to find a game. This wasn’t the first cancel queue moment i had so i got penalized for cancelling it a third time and stripped an endorsement level? I mean it’s not like i’m passionate about the endorsement levels or anything but to have a message telling me that i practically ‘misbehaved’ (your endorsement level has ben lowered from ‘this’ to ‘that’) is kinda wild. Especially when i did absolutely nothing wrong when life summoned me.

Was it just your endorsement level that went down? Because that decays over time. It could’ve just coincided with you exiting queue, something you’re not supposed to get punished for.

Not a 3 to a 2, that’s only the higher tiers, it also told me i was penalized and i couldn’t requeue for another 2 minutes

You can certainly decay from a 3 to a 2. They made it harder, but there’s nothing preventing it. But the penalty doesn’t quite make sense. Maybe you left queue right as the system found a match and it counted as a leave somehow.

This just happened to me. I hope they fix this. I never connected to a game but I canceled before a connect occurred on my end and I got a timeout from queuing up for a couple minutes along with a penalty message.

If it actually connected to a game, we should be able to re-join the game it thinks we connected to so we don’t get penalized.

I know a 2 minute queue timeout is a slap on the wrist but I’m worried these mishaps (along with server crashes that still penalize us) will add up and we’re being unfairly punished for things beyond our control.
