Why Did I Get a 5-Minute Ban for Leaving a 1v1 Match?

-

I recently left a 1v1 ranked game because I was getting completely owned, and there wasn’t an option to forfeit—just to abandon the game. I didn’t think it was a big deal, but now I’ve received a 5-minute ban. Can someone explain why that happens?

Leaving a game can get you penalized because it affects other players’ experiences. In this case, since you abandoned a ranked match, it seems the penalty is to deter people from leaving, especially to stop win traders and smurfers from messing with the ranks. It’s all about keeping the game fair!

Yeah, I get that, but it feels so harsh for a 1v1. It’s not like I was part of a larger team.
