Create a system that allows players to rejoin the game after disconnecting

Hello!

I have half an hour to kill because, unfortunately, I've been banned due to multiple disconnections caused by an issue I haven't been able to fix. It's incredibly frustrating to have connection problems, and now I'm being forced to abandon my favorite game. It's a double punishment!

While I completely understand the need for penalties, they can be quite harsh on players who are dealing with recurring connection issues. Instead of simply punishing them, why not offer them a second chance?

With the introduction of bots, I think it would be entirely possible to implement a reconnection system similar to the one in Rocket League. In the event of a brief connection drop, a message could appear in the game's menu inviting the player to rejoin the match, helping them avoid a penalty.

This could also have another positive effect: a player who gets frustrated and leaves a match, only to find themselves banned and forced to wait before playing again, might be tempted to return to the game rather than leave altogether.

Another point I'd like to raise is that the fact that the cooldown before being able to join another match is no longer automatic seems to put players who experience connection issues at an additional disadvantage, especially when the disconnection is prolonged.

An angry player who deliberately quits a match will probably try to queue again immediately, meaning they only have to wait out the countdown. In contrast, a player who has been unlucky enough to experience a disconnection may need to spend time troubleshooting their connection before they can even start the countdown. As a result, they're effectively punished twice for something that may not have been their fault.

I don't know whether this would be technically feasible, but since similar systems already exist in other games, I believe there's a strong case for considering it!

Thanks for taking the time to read this suggestion.
