Abandon penalty for no reason

So I’ve just played a game of ranked that has caused me to go negative 96RP for playing a game through to completion. 
I’m plat 1 and I died in a match due to either my own lag causing me to rubber band or a server issue but my team was still alive so I decided to switch internet while my team was running to a replicator. I swap internet, load back into the match and I’m still not respawned but my team has just found a replicator and is now reviving me. So tell me why then, that even after being respawned and promptly dying after collecting some more KP with my team that when I load out of the match I’m slapped with an abandon penalty making me go -96RP. At no point did I go AFK whilst in the match and alive, and at no point could me disconnecting from the game for quite literally 10 seconds while dead and waiting for a respawn, cause my team any problems since I was again already not an active participant in the match as again I was already DEAD AND WAITING. 
Respawn you need to reevaluate your system or give me some better justification, I have just been penalised for “causing my team issues during a match” when this was quite literally impossible since I was dead and waiting to be respawned.

  • What do you mean you switched internet? If you changed who your ISP is through by changing to a different provider, like using your phone as a hot spot, you did abandon the match. Your user session information is tied to your computer and ISP.
