I queue into BR games and every so often, during the joining match screen, my game will freeze with the packet loss symbol at the top right. So, I do what I always do when my game freezes like this, I close the game (To be clear, I do not leave the match) and reopen it.
Usually, this allows me to rejoin the game and I can play normally from there. But whenever this happens when I queue for ranked, I get kicked out of the match AND I get the abandon penalty of 10 minutes on top of the double negative RP.
It's so frustrating. My game freezes, I try to fix the issue, but get punished for doing so. With my only other option being to stare at a frozen screen of Squad Rank Distribution. I'm not asking for something to make it so that my game doesn't freeze anymore, please just allow me to rejoin my games like I am usually able to in Unranked so I don't get this unfair penalty.
