    So, I disconnected from CS:GO because of Windows 10 shittiest updates that don't do anything, but my question is "Why did I get banned even though I reconnected before getting the 7 Day Cooldown prompt?" Any suggestions?

    Are you sure you connected before the ban's timer concluded?

    For starters, have you got any cooldowns before this "7 day cooldown" of yours?

    its not a bad game, dont get me wrong. But the rank system, and the community is just utter bullshit. I won, 7 games, tied the 8th, and deranked. The game is Good, but the community and devs are not.

    The rank system is screwed up. Every game that you lose you derank. (most, of the time) I somehow deranked from mg1 to SEM. I cried everything ;-;

    They recently changed the average rank from MG1 to some Nova rank, which is why you deranked so fast. I personally deranked from DMG to MG2 in 2 games where I top-scored.

    Yes, I did. I clearly hit the reconnect button and even asked my teammates if I got a ban, but they said no.

    Yeah twice. I know the punishment of all of the bans blah blah blah. I knew I was going to get 7 day if I didn't reconnect, but I did. So that's what I call B.S.

    Tbh. I like the new Ranking system. We don't have much Global Elites and ranking up is quite a challenge now. So I highly advise you to find some friends to play with and don't play solo. Unfortunately, I don't have friends ;-;

    I wanted to buy a Smurf account but the silver's are all probably gods at the game now due to the mixed ranks

    I have had something similar happen to me before back before I built my new PC I used to play on a laptop that would lose wifi randomly and only way to get it back was to restart. The computer was really slow and 9 times out of 10 I would just straight up be too late to even reconnect. However sometimes I would join fast enough and play the rest of the match but afterwards see I still received a ban. It seems the countdown doesn't stop until after you are physically in server and not on the loading screen to connect. So most likely what happened is the timer ended as you were on the loading screen to reconnect to the server and since you were part way with connecting you still connected but the timer still ended it sucks man I know. :)
