24 Hour Penalty

[76561198337230942]

I play this game a lot. A LOT (over 1300 hours). Sometimes I get distracted and step away during a match que. Sometimes it's a bad connection. 24 hour penalty is incredibly severe and things happen. I will no longer play this game. I had just made a second account so I could play with my son and our connection dropped. Now we both can't play for 24 hours. Please think about this penalty, because until than I am no longer a DOTA player.

It takes multiple failures in order to get to 24 hours.
It's a harsh penalty, but it's really easy to avoid.

I don't remember abandoning as of late. Do reports have anything to do with this penalty?

[ChubbNutt]

Nope. Failing to connect and accept matches would be the reason.

Last night I accept the matches, after a few moments with loading screen, I go to the "ready" page. but suddenly got disc, and then got 24 penalty...

Is there anyway to attach a screenshot? I literally have 1 abandon in 25 games with only 3 reports and I get a 23 hour penalty. I don't get it. I'm just upset because, as people can tell, I really enjoy this game and am totally put off by this penalty.

Reports do nothing for the 24 hour penalty. Only failing to ready up multiple times does that and that is to say if you do so consecutively or over a small set number of games.

It isn't unfair because just think of how long you made other 9 people wait for a match when you failed to ready up. In higher mmr qeues where it takes 30 minutes on occassion to find a match, people who repeatedly fail to join the qeue should be removed for a long time!

I wonder if making this thread distracted you again for another 24 hours ban. Insted of improving matchmaking click that pesky"accept" button and enjoy dota

1 abandon in 25 games. That's not consecutive. That is miniscule. And, it was b/c of a dropped connection. If you know how to post a screenshot, I can prove it.

I always play pubs as well. I have never played rated matchmaking.

Matchmaking is a general refence i.e. public matchmaking = pubs, ranked matchmaking = ranked.
So in fact you have participated in matchmaking!

I updated my profile w/ a screenshot of my report summary if anyone is still interested in my bickering...

Ha! I realized that after the fact. I just meant I don't have an mmr. I never do any ranked matches.

the 24 hours ban is actually called "24 hours matchmaking ban".

which in other words, you can't go and queue for any dota 2 matches.

the only way to get 24 hour matchmaking ban is only this reason

1) you dodge dota 2 matchmaking queues more than once either by not accepting the match or you failed to connect to the match after 5 mins after accepting the match.

here is the main advice

i) if you got something important to do like going out soon within 15 mins to 25 mins, don't queue in the first place as most matches will take longer than that.

Volvo doesn't check comments out here. So you can remain as a non-DOTA player.
