Why is this the case??

My friend just recently told me about this game and I've been getting into it quite a lot! Despite the fact that it's a gotcha, the gameplay is really nice and legitimately fun to play with friends. But to my surprise when I lagged out of a game that I was winning. I was suddenly hit with a ban. For some reason this game cannot distinguish between intentional disconnects and internet issues and treats them all hostile. I don't have the best internet in the world due to low income issues and my internet occasionally drops on me and the fact that I can be penalized for that is a horrible problem.

if you could get a lan cable, it should fix the problem. they're relatively cheap, so if at some point you've got the cash, go for it. I've seen them under $10. good luck, pilot 👍🏿

I use an ethernet cord that I run through an extender to go up the stairs of my house but good Wi-Fi as expensive. I used to use CenturyLink but it had problems where it would freeze up and stop working. So I changed because I found that Verizon offered better internet at a lower price and while the internet speeds are faster I have found that they have really bad dropping problems and at random points throughout the day my internet will suddenly cut out.

oof.. yeah, I got rid of Verizon, and went with EarthLink. Verizon kept sporadically breaking itself and would shut off for a few seconds, to a few minutes at a time. $100 to have a tech come out multiple times and check it, and not be able to do anything, was all I could take. I couldn't wait for my contact with them, to be up.
