When do the DC bans get reset?

I'll keep it brief, but i heard that the bans are going to be reset every rank reset (E.G if you DC upto a ban of 60 mins, if you want to avoid being banned for 120 mins/ whatever the next interval is, when does that reset so that if you were to DC again it would go back to the starting 1 min.)


I think that having it at rank reset is an extremely irritating suggestion, with the game in its buggiest form i've EVER seen (literally can't go more than 3 games without a game breaking bug, and the game lately has been the laggiest piece of [BAD WORD] i've ever seen (no it's not just my connection, i talk to people i play with after every game and they agree it's always laggy af in oceanic servers rn), I was hoping to hear 'the bans will be reset every few days/ week', but due to what im assuming is a mostly European/ American playerbase, it will most likely be in their ballpark for what they deem as fair.

TL:DR I'm all for the penalty of DCING, so long as it's more of a 'no you've dc'd, take a break mate' instead of a 'whats that? you dc'd 6 times in the past month? Nah mate sorry but all those hours you've put in this game, yeah they're gone, ######### off'

    I don't know who told you that, but they obviously weren't a developer because it's completely untrue.

    The last official word we heard on the subject was in the June/July Developer Update when the system was first announced: "The length of the timer gradually decreases so long as the player does not disconnect from additional matches."

    So rest assured, whoever told you that DC penalties would only reset once a month was misinformed.

    Okay what that other person told you was also not true. Its a day by day ban penalty. So say you got up to 24 to 48 hours. 24 hours equals 2 weeks of not dcing and double that with 48 so on and so forth. It is not match based by any means and I tested that theory.
