Losing SR even after rejoining the match

[Spooder-21940]

I’m almost at my season high and about to reach diamond after being stuck in plat for the last 8+ months. We were completely dominating the enemy team and suddenly my game disconnects. My internet was up and everything seemed to be working fine, however, I can’t enter overwatch.
After 1 minute of trying, I finally rejoin. We continue to dominate the game and even end up winning.
Me leaving did not affect the team negatively (Since we win regardless) then why do I still lose ~75 SR? (penalty + getting no SR for winning)? How does that make any sense?

Are you sure it was 1 minute (2 minutes go by faster than what people realize)?

A penalty still applies if you are absent for more than 2 minutes in a match. Details in this guide from Blizzard:

Overwatch Technical Issues, SR Loss, and Leaver Penalties

Hey everybody, I wanted to take some time today to discuss Leaver Penalties and how they relate to Technical issues. We understand that leaver penalties are an annoying thing to experience. Technical issues can be complicated to troubleshoot. To add penalties to your account can seem like adding insult to injury. This isn’t our intent. The competitive penalty system may not be perfect, but there is reason behind it. When we created the leaver penalty system, we took in a lot of player feedbac…

I left during the hero select screen on attack, so that’s 1 and a half minutes of doing nothing. When I rejoined, it was less than a minute into the round.

I was kicked during hero selection because i was grabbing a drink of water. I got back and it said kicking for inactivity and the countdown was at 2. Clearly that wasn’t enough time for me to pick a character so i immediately rejoined. I still got the 50SR penalty. I was not absent for more than 2 minutes so I don’t think that applies?
