I got banned when I played my game.

I've been recently having the firewall issue, however was able to get in games lately. This once I had lag spikes and had to reconnect my internet and everything during hexakill, but I did play the game. I at least played for half of the game while the game was a very short one.

And I'm banned now, from abandoning my team.

Wtf/???? My teammates were really nice, and they managed to play the game fairly well and I apologised to them before going out and after reconnecting. I know that the fact I apologised and everything won't make any differences because it's an automated system, but I an really shocked to see my account get banned.

I know my account's last ban was because of the firewall bug thingy and I accept it, I was wrong playing with that bug- but this ban is unacceptable. Seriously. I don't know what else to say. I just was working to get the Harrowing icon. I only need one more win. Ohmygerd. Does anyone know the criteria that determines someone's ban? I'm extremely frustrated. My leaverbuster level is now one, which means that I've played lots of games enough to reset my leaverbuster level, but idk why the system gave me a ban straight away after one game that was played indeed.

But the fact remains: you left games for longer than 5 minutes. You were still gone.

But the fact remains: EverTokki got penalized for doing nothing wrong, by a system that wouldn't be needed if nobody did anything wrong. So what that s/he left?

Well, true. I agree on that. However I've thought leaverbuster systems only account on left games. I guess that's not it.

Disclaimer: I might be wrong on this I believe the issue is that the way leaverbuster works is that if you leave, even if you reconnect, you get a mark against you. So, if you disconnect and reconnect multiple times in a game, it will give you multiple marks.

However I've only reconnected once.. In the whole game and in my last 20 games or so I haven't left once. :(

It'll still only count as one game with a leave/AFK, but if you're gone too long then reconnecting will not prevent it from counting as a leave.

OP, you normally shouldn't get banned for a single leave unless you're at a high leaver level (like you've recently had a 3-day or longer leaver ban) or it happened very shortly after you came off a ban or got a leaver warning. If you want to inquire about your ban you'll need to open a ticket with Support.
