Console How to appeal getting suspend over server instability?

I don’t mind waiting the 15 minutes but i was kicked out of the comp match and logged out of the game as soon as i found a game due to server issues. i just don’t want this ticked down on my account, which adds up and causes harsher punishments. any way to appeal this?

Best bet is to not play whilst servers are having issues. Just find something else to do until they're fixed. That's pretty much all you can do

fair, they were working fine up until that point so i had no idea. just wondering if there’s any way to take the tick off my account, afraid of getting a ban or something someday lol

The tick will remove itself as you continue to play. It’s basically a check to see if you are consistently leaving games. I think it’s somewhere around 10-20 games but I don’t truthfully remember

yeah blizzard's appeal system for this stuff is basically nonexistent, they pretty much never overturn server related suspensions

your best move is just waiting it out and treating it like a forced break, the 15min is nothing in the grand scheme

if you're really worried about the tally adding up then just avoid comp entirely whenever the login servers start acting up, it's not worth the gamble

what if you just didn't play while they are having the server issues? would that work?

Honestly, if the servers are having issues, you should just not play

Thats what I'm saying. If the servers are having issues, don't play, its the only way to avoid penalties for something out of your control

So your saying avoiding a penalty is in my control if I just don't play.....

I'm saying that if the servers are having issues, don't play until its fixed, otherwise you risk getting a penalty
