  Hi, I did experience this too often enough to have a earned a 30 minutes ban now. Sometimes it goes together with a very laggy/jittery game (server issues ?), sometimes just as with you it happens somewhere mid-game ouf of the blue, "gracefully" returning you to the lobby.

  Technically (depending on the underlying architecture) it's not impossible to return someone even to the same session within a certain period of time (IF it is a intermittent network issue) and to distinguish between network issues and a deliberate rage quit - many other online team-based games show this clearly or at least handle this reasonably

  It seems to be a lame excuse to always blame it on the player's network setup and ban players for an increasing amount of time, ultimately resulting in a permanent ban.

  Thanks for contributing to the post @StevieK!

  I'm sorry you are experiencing this issue as well, but you are not alone. Hopefully we can finally get a fix for this soon!

  UPDATE 11/8/2021 74 Hours after my first 72 hour ban. I played a few matches and suddenly this happened (video below). This host disconnect did not result in a ban. But this is an example of the randomness of the disconnects and how it literally happens out of nowhere.

  After this happened I should've taken it as a bad omen and just stop playing. Two generators in on my next match mid chase ( full hp, no reason to dc) I disconnect again. This time the game force closed and I couldn't capture it via shadow play. When I restarted the game I HAD ANOTHER 72 HOUR BAN.

  

  I've missed soo much of the event because this. This is crap.
