Disputing being placed in low priority?

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if it is possible to dispute being placed in low priority match making and also not getting battle points?

I played a game this morning, where my internet died on me. So i booted it back up, got back into the game and we were getting beat quite badly, but i said sorry and carried on. One idiot, playing Drow on my team, was saying everyone should report me for disconnecting. I thought nothing of it, but logged back in to play a game just now, and have seen io have been placed in low priority for a day! Im not happy as its clear i logged back in as soon as i could! I should at least be able to see the reason for the report against me!

I have just checked the reply, i was out of the game for almost 5 mins, 15:56 dc and 20:26 reconnected. And Drow said to report me for feeding! Not my fault im still **** at the game and forced to go mid!

Yet another thing to annoy me, guess i should stick to SC2!

Cheers

If you are away from keyboard for five or more minutes, you abandoned the game.

If you abandon a game and you get reported, you'll be placed in the low priority.

If you want to avoid playing with 'mean' players, then find people to play with.

damn that's a shame but it happens. I hate people who do that when its not your fault that you DCed i just don't see their reasoning behind it because what is the whole point in being such a A****** on the internet with people you don't know?

I guess you just have to deal with it and i am assuming its not for to long. Also i think its probably due to the number of reports against you because normally nothing happens. have you been reported in previous games?

I dont think i have been reported to be honest! But i wouldnt know! Im showing 5 abandoned games, but 4 of those were from the summer when i didnt know what i was doing and got fed up of the idiots i was playing with.

Im guessing it classed that game as an abandonment, plus the fact he reported me! Oh well. Ill just play SC 2 for the next 24 hours and make sure i dont end up going mid again!

Well.. next time make sure you won't go away for more than five minutes.

Also, if you're not a good player and you want your team to like you, then buy Observer Wards. It works.

That's the thing....it wasn't my fault! My Internet genuinely went down! Anyway, it doesn't matter, I just thought I'd see if there was anyway of disputing! Hopefully ill be able to grow my friends list soon!

yeah that's basically what you need to do since no matter what skill level you are at there seems to be incompetent team members. I normally play with 2-4 friends and i have to say it is a lot funner than solo queuing.

dw, it's just 24 hours, no big deal. SC2 just misses you.

same problem here... but i just go and continue playing cause i wanna improve my skills. So my advice is don't quit and continue, trust me the people in low priority are really funny (In My Opinion) So yeah.
It's Your Choice And Your Game

Just had something similar. I'm new to this type of game - been playing DOTA2 for about a week now. I've just abandoned a game because some dude had a hissy fit at me for healing someone else. I was Omniknight - the guy I healed had more health but was fighting an enemy hero and I got a gank out of it (he'd have lost if I didn't use Purification). The guy complaining was almost dead, but well away from the fight. He them went on to declare that as the other three players on our team are his friends, I can expect 3 reports for intentional ability abuse. They then all huddled together at top, leaving me solo mid, and the other guy solo bottom. They would initiate team fights near us and then flee, leaving us to die. Basically, a bunch of morons.

I left after 18 minutes. It was just constant text grief (much of it racist). They weren't even any good - they managed to lose all three top towers by the fifteen minute mark against Zeus and Keeper of the Light. The other two of use had to deal with Drow, Huskar and Riki and were managing to hold mid and bottom between us.

Really not a great introduction to the game. I've got two days in low priority mode for doing the right thing, while they might get a day each for being abusive, racist and deliberately hampering the team. Feels like they got off easy while being the ones in the wrong, simply because there's more of them.
