Losing RP after a game crash

My game crashed during a ranked match which has been a more frequent issue in the last season. I attempted reenterung the game to hopefully continue playing but the game would not let me so I had to resort to restarting my xbox. When I finally got back into the game I received an abandonment penalty with an 8min ban and 40 rp loss! That is a steep punishment for something out of my control especially since Ive been working hard for those points in my mere silver rank (Im not the best at this game but Im trying!)

  • I can certainly understand how frustrating it feels. Reports of players losing RP and receiving abandonment penalties due to crashes or other circumstances beyond their control have been a recurring source of community feedback.

    At the same time, abandonment penalties are an important system for discouraging players from intentionally leaving ranked matches early. As a result, it’s a difficult balance to strike between avoiding penalties for players who disconnect unintentionally and preventing abuse of the system.
