[Crash] Can't play a game without the game crashing. Been banned for 3 days...

[Crash] details:

I'll be playing a game, when suddenly my ping shoots up to the high thousands, falls back to 500 and the "Attempting to reconnect" banner pops up. I'll exit the game in order to reconnect, click reconnect and the loading screen will show me that I've loaded up to 100%, and suddenly the game crashes. No matter how many times I try to reconnect, the game keeps crashing.

Even if I do make it to the game, it's only a matter of time until the same error keeps occurring. I only started experiencing this bug after patch 4.17.

In order to reproduce the bug, all I have to do is connect to a game.

I tried various things to fix it, including port forwarding etc, since I am on a wireless connection. I even hard-wired my computer to the modem, and still the same exact error occurred. It's not because of my internet connection, but some inherent error within the game.

Leaverbuster has banned me for three days, but this error isn't due to me abandoning a game....it's literally because the servers are acting up on me. Just unfair punishment for something that shouldn't have happened :[
