If there were to be such a thing as a "shadow" ban that groups you with cheaters I would imagine the queue times would be extremely long right?  You wouldn't be allowed in normal games, so you would have to wait until there was a big enough group of similarly "banned" people for a game to start.

I don't actually believe there can be such a thing in this game.

    AFAIK shadow bans in this game do not work like that.  Generally they just cannot queue for a game, and I have heard rumors of bot lobbies (actual bots, not lousy players) for behavior observation.

      I was hacked and banned and then my account was recovered and the ban lifted. Still I am shadowbanned in apex and can't play for 9 months now, stuck on '1 player on queue'. Do you have any idea on how to fix it?
