Penalty even when the client crashes?

AngerFist

I was in an Unrated queue and got a match, selected my agent but the opposite team dodged. While on the loading screen, my game just crashed, for reasons unknown. When I got back in the game, lo and behold, a 60 Minutes penalty.

Why does Riot have to penalise the player when the game client crashed? Also, why a 60 MINUTE PENALTY in UNRATED!

I understand why this penalty is there, but such a heavy penalty; for an Unrated queue? Shouldn't Unrated penalty be lower than Competitive penalties?

Also, in the case of dodging, if one of the players goes afk, for any reason, please give a vote system to the other players in the party or add a time limit before the system gets us another match. Why you ask? Cause sometimes, Post-Dodge queues gets you a match in a few seconds, but more times than not, it gets the match instantly, without giving ample time to cancel the match-making. This would help in solving the issues regarding Game clients crashing and getting a penalty when there's LITERALLY nothing a player can do.

Just my 2 cents.

Valorant is literally a mix of overwatch and csgo, so I agree they should add some sort of system in order to allow a more functionable game except that for a vote kick system to be added would be out of the question because of the abuse 4 man teams (especially smurf teams) can use to reek havoc among lower ranks.

If you were to be kicked out of a game by vote kick, the instant thought would be to give the kicked player a penalty or loss but what if a 4 man or 4 players who just wanted to troll someone decided to kick them? That would be unfair.

@AngerFist The first part of your post, which the post was about originally, i'm guessing that it's not the first time your clinet crashed, or it just "happens" that the game crashed, and only that game? Lo and behold, you got a lot of time to restart the game, put in your username and password to continue the game you where in, before the round start or the next round starts.

True, at random my game just doesn't load into character selection and gives me a penalty after

I was in the middle of a game but my PC froze so I had to restart I joined the previous match even though the score was 1-11 but the game still gave me a 1hour penalty they should fix this.

Haha, another funny case from riot or valorant developers. They ban us because of their fault.

I banned for 7 weeks, patients, then get more banned for 7 weeks. Then I stop playing valorant, and start to enjoy Apex Legends
