Good evening,
I havnt played the game in a few weeks and I started to play today. During my second game of the day a storm hit and i was dcd for about four min. I came back into the game and helped my team turn it around for a victory..but was given a leaver buster penalty for five games. A twenty min timer added even though it was an honest dc and one I returned from and finished the game with. I would like to appeal the five game 20 min wait please.
Sincerely, Corbomite
Unfortunately, LeaverBuster doesn't differentiate between reasons for leaving. There are two reasons for this:
#1 -- The system cannot tell how or why you DC'd. Pulling the plug or resetting the router would read the same as losing power or having a meteor strike your house: loss of connection. The receiving system can't tell WHY you lose connection -- only that you did.
#2 -- Ultimately, your team was still left down a player. Regardless of the reason, the next effect on the game (i.e. the reason dodging merits a punishment of any sort) is equivalent.
As a result, there isn't really an appeal of a LeaverBuster punishment.
You do not get a 20 minute timer on your first leaver penalty. Thus, you must have had a fairly recent 5 minute leaver penalty.
You do not get a leaver penalty for one game. Thus, there must have been other games that you've left/afked in.
