Penalties applied after losing connection (not intentionally)

I have been getting matchmaking bans and my addons have been being used up after games where I lose connection to the host immediately. Why am I being assigned penalties? It is making matchmaking very painful and frustrating.

  • Because game can't tell if it was intentional or not. If losing connection didn't give penalty, unfair players would abuse it by turnng off internet or cable unplug.

    5 minute penalty for one random disconnection is not a big price for preventing that abuse. But if you losing connection often, you better fix your internet and not ruin games to other people.
