Dc ban system is bad and y'all know it is

Yesterday I spent 2 matches lagging so badly against cross platform players that I was practically using the nurses blink with oni. I've never had hard internet issues and never to the point of a disconnection but, yesterday it happened twice in a row. Today I'm playing my first game of the day as survivor and my internet goes crazy again and now I'm blinking as nea and within seconds disconnecting. Im now on a 15 minute matchmaking ban for issue out of my control that have never been a problem before. Im not sure what the problem is but y'all need to either fix it or just completely deactivate the ban to never return. Your system is beyond flawed, y'all know it is. You can see the forum posts about it all the time. Stop trying to force a broken puzzle piece into a game and just introduce bots already. It's sad I can play on mobile and get a dc bot but somehow were expected to believe it's next to impossible for consoles and pc. That solves your dc issue without banning people who don't deserve a ban for issues they can't control that are directly related to your game.

    And I guess I'll rephrase that begining statement, I haven't had a disconnection issue in over a year. The last time was during your previous halloween event surprisingly enough.

    And I noticed that the DC penalties don't cool down when you didn't DC in a long time. And with long time I mean months. I DCed one time about 4 or 5 months ago and I had a 6min ban minimum when I DCed today. I rarely DC. It has to be multiple matches with tunnel moris or similar to bring me to this. And even then I just rant and play.

    But having this large cooldown is just insane. It should be back to the first ban after you haven't DCed for like 2 or 3 months or so.

    No, it isn't.

    @MusicNerd_TC Tell me what about my post is a good thing? Oh wait, you can't. You're just talking ######### to ruffle feathers and that's cute and all but I don't care what you have to say since you already invalidated the value of your words with a hollow response.

    Must admit, I agree with S4bertooth, I've seen a lot less DC's with the penalty in place, it was pretty much every match prior to the penalty being implemented again.

    And whilst I sympathise with regards to the poor internet connection, you must remember that when you play an online game such as this, your internet affects other players so you do have a level of responsibility to make sure that you're not ruining the match for the 4 other players.

    I appreciate that these things are not as easy to sort out as "not dc'ing in a game" but the outcome is sadly the same - the game is ruined for the other players, which is why DC penalties exist across the board.

    The DC penalties are great. Far less DCs now in my games. The rest of us should not be forced to put up with rampant DCs because you have bad internet.

    Counter-Point: The DC system is ######### stupid, but it gives me time to play better games.


    I don't deal with BHVR incompetence, and I get to spend time/money on a product put together by a competent team. That's a win in my book.

    I have had to dc because of latency in the game, but my internet connection has been fine.

    @MandyTalk i play destiny 2 with ZERO internet issues. Please try again. Whatever is happening is directly caused by the game not my internet which runs every game I play perfectly except this one. You're statement is made off an assumption that my internet is the issues and it's not.

    @greekfire774 as you specifically say in your comment "my internet went crazy" I made no assumptions, just used your own words where you blamed your internet.
