My team mates left me in the storm and had no intentions of coming back as they were pinging places further from my position. I left the match now i am banned.. thats * *.. How can i be banned when they abandoned me??
Being impatient has nothing to do with it.. If your team has no intention of reviving you there should be no penalty. They should be penalised for not trying to get you. Waiting to die after being knocked then waiting for you respawn to time out is basically a 5 min penalty for playing with people who abandon you.. thats b.s.
Actually i got 10 mins because my game crashed and i got a 5min a couple of weeks ago.
I can ofc not know exactly what happened in this situation, but once again is the OP so sure that he is a totally innocent victim and his teammates the big bad villeins.
You say that your "team mates left you in the storm and had no intentions of coming back" and that "they should be penalized for not trying to get you". For all we know, you solo raided away from your team and got knocked or simply were to greedy and looted too long before running. This maybe even happened in the later rounds when the circle does 20-25 dmg per tick.....All I know is that NO ONE in ranked wants to play as an incomplete team, which means that IF there is a possibility to get the banner, and respawn you, they WILL do it, unless it means significant risk.
Once again, I dont know what happened, but if it happened like I suspected, then you have to stop being a child and recognize your own fault. But IF you actually got matched with two A-holes that simply refused to get your banner for no reason, then suck it up, wait the timer or quit and get banned.

Being impatient has absolutely EVERYTHING to do with your issue.
If you can not wait at least 1 (one !) minute until you leave, you will wait much longer due to the upcoming penalty.
Just accept it and don't discuss!
"Waiting to die after being knocked then waiting for you respawn to time out is basically a 5 min penalty"
-Yeah, try that a few times and do the math again. You will be suprised.
Penalties were needed, now we have them and hopefully they stay forever.
You have the choice to wait for your mates, not play with randoms or not play at all - so simple!
I wemt to where the jm pinged after lookingaround and seeing that there was no enemies dropping in near us. My "team mates" changed location without a ping, i asssume they were in a party chat and left me to a battle which kuckily got 3rd partied and i was able to escape only to be stuck i the storm and knocked.. why should i have to suck it up and cop an approx 5min ban while waiting to time out because my team mates were *?? Yes there was no way for them to get to me because the storm would have killed them, but thats only because they chamged locations withiut using their ping.. if you are jm and pick a spot to land land there... if you choose a new spot ping it.. so again why should i be banned for my * team mates??

This is want you sign up to when playing with randoms. If you're telling the truth and actually got so unlucky that your two randoms screwed you over during the jump, marking a place and going somewhere else far away (even though I think you are polishing the story a bit to your advantage), then I understand the frustration. But you knew the deal when you choose to jump in a ranked game with randoms; you will get punished for leaving prematurely, period. And in most cases, people WONT act like this in ranked so thats why you should "suck it up", wait for the timer and move on.
What Im trying to say is that playing with randoms IS a lottery by its definition. You CHOOSE to play with random players that have random playing styles, random tryhard-ness, random communication skills etc. Dont expect them to be the perfect match for you, and thats why we play with premades you know.
As the random in 99% of the games I play, I have to say I make it a point to stick with the other squads. If they ping someplace and for whatever reason change location without me noticing, I will trek to where they are immediately, even if it means not looting much to get there. Running solo is death in this game if you bump into another squad. Awareness of your squad is survival. Even if they are not that good it is better to have that support than nothing at all.
Also in ranked, I always will wait around. I have had some games where I didn't think my squad was going to get me and they were able to get in and grab my banner in the nick of time and spawn me back into the game. If you were late game and the circle would melt them if they attempted to get you because you were too deep into it because you didn't keep close to them. As the random that is on you. Just wait the 90 seconds or whatever, take it as a learning experience and move on. Or take the penalty. Whatever
Seems like if you can't quite adjust your play style to fit this mode you need to drop with friends in a pre-made squad or stick with regular. The agitating thing about these posts is that it is always everyone else's fault and the penalty is not just. The penalty is working as intended.
For me it is different. I got into a match, found out i am alone, and because i didnt want to lower my k/d, i left. And here i am, being punished for ten minuts because somebody decide to not even show up.
