Will you get rid of the ban timer yet?!

PC-Steam- I just waited 24 hours for a time ban that wasn't my fault to be over and now my game closed itself mid match causing me to have to wait 48 hours to play again. I'm over this crap. Why hasn't my timer reset?! Get rid of the time ban or I'm done with this game. There's too many connection issues to have a "DC penalty" right now. It's not just me experiencing this either so we need something done about this ASAP!

    The Disconnect penalty decays over time, we do not state how long that time takes - it is for sure a lot longer than the actual penalty to discourage players from disconnecting and giving time for players to sort out their game / internet issues.

    It's not my connection that has issues, It's the server. I keep being disconnected from host randomly and that's causing my penalty time to stack and it happens almost daily now when it never did before which is not giving the timer the chance to reset. What's going to be done about this?!

    Again, It's not me DCing by my own free will. It's the game losing connection to the host or crashing.

    It's not me who needs the technical support, but thanks anyway.

    I've been having the same issue. All was good until the 7.0.0 update. Now I can't even make it through a single match without disconnecting.
