4 Hour Deserter Penalty for Crashing in Character Select

[John 'Hunt' Showdown]

Fix this. This is ridiculous. Virtually no punishment for bad actors in-game and punishment for the instability of the game in the menus achieve nothing.

I would prefer it lock the character I had picked before I crashed. Instead of assuming I left intentionally.

If only, i crashed on the loading screen to char selection so not even that would have helped. Its very frustrating to go from having fun with a friend to having to stop playing for the night because of a crash.

I've unfortunately had those as well. I've had as high as a, I believe, 12 hour deserter penalty. I assume built up from day to day. Which is crazy, because I don't recall ever not coming back to a match. Imagine going to sleep for the night, only to wake up and still have an hour or so left on your penalty. :(

i got up to 720 min because of those crashes. if you chose a god it should count as in match crash. so you have a chance to go back in.

just happened to me right now, no smite for 12 hours lmao
