NO Penalty for Router Reset disconnections
my WiFi Router resets every 24 hours - and my provider says that it’s not possible to change that. So when I play the game and my router resets - I still get the DC penalty! Please change that! I think the DC penalty is great for people who purposely “LEAVE MATCH” early. But if I get disconnected by accidents - I shouldn’t get a penalty.

There's no way for them to tell the difference unfortunately. The five minute penalty should (maybe?) roll over by the time your next disconnection happens.

If you know it resets at the same time every 24 hours, you might just need to not play at that time. Otherwise you're knowingly risking hurting the gameplay experience of four other players, and that's what the penalties are designed to discourage. Also, as mentioned above, it's not possible for them to tell the difference between someone whose internet switches off on its own and someone who pulls the plug on purpose.

Then everyone would just reset their router.
Just don't play during that time or take the penalty that one time.

Don't play on reset period?

If it's 24 hours on the nose, it should be easy to play around.

As this would get abused a lot, I think I can safely say that it isn't something we will implement.

This. And they did address the point in the livestream when they reintroduced it, saying there was no way to tell the reason for the disconnect, legitimate crash, internet problem, or just pulling the plug at the back of your computer, so it's the same penalty for everything.
And honestly, if you know your router resets daily at the same time.. then either eat the 5 minutes penalty, or make sure you're not in a game when reset time comes by. Or maybe check if you can get them to reset it when you're sleeping instead of in the middle of the evening when you're using it.
First time I hear about routers resetting daily though..

It’s the only time I’m able to enjoy a game after work and before I go to bed. Of course I thought about it. But I also have a life besides gaming 🤦🏼♀️
