LeaverBuster Blues

Hey Rito, My internet provider has been really inconsistent for the past few months -cough-centurylink-cough-. I'm going to be switching soon because my internet is DCing maybe 4 to 5 times a day from anywhere between 20 minutes to 10 hours. Sadly, this has happened to me a few times in game so now I have a LeaverBuster. Not anything terrible, just 5 game low priority queue currently.

Is there anyway to contest a punishment? Or perhaps explain my situation? item 3070

This is working as intended. You need to stop queuing until you fix your connection. Hoping that you don't DC again is not a solution.

You knew for 3 months your connection was bad but still queued up and risked d/c'ing and ruining the match for your 4 teammates??

Back when Bilgewater was happening, the new HUD caused a glitch where LOTS of people were dc'ing from almost every game they played.

My account was squeaky clean before that. I never left a lot of games, I was polite, no reports, etc. Never any punishments.

The constant dc'ing put me in Leaverbuster and it hasn't left me ever since.

I sent them an email saying "hey, my game has been glitching, I've never been punished and now I'm in leaverbuster. Is it possible to take back the punishment? I've only been leaving from games because of the HUD glitch"

They said they couldnt help me. So since then I have been on its watch. Just got put back into a lower tier because I left 2 games (due to emergency reasons, I'd never leave a game unless its an emergency or a dc and if I dc I always come back). Oh and I'm pretty sure its the reason why I can't be on the PBE too. I can't know the exact reason but I have a feeling leaverbuster is it.
