Abandon

An Abandon occurs when a player:


 * Disconnects for a total of 5 minutes.
 * Disconnect time is cumulative, meaning that a player who disconnects once for 2 minutes, reconnects, and disconnects again for 3 minutes, will be counted as an abandon.
 * Has not gained any experience for 2 minutes. (?)
 * Leaves the game through the matchmaking menu.

Once a player has abandoned, other players are free to leave the game without penalty.

Early vs Late Abandonment
An Abandon is considered Early if it occurs:


 * Before 5 minutes has passed on the game clock.
 * If First Blood occurs before this abandon, it will be counted as a Late abandon.

Early abandons do not count towards Wins or Losses in your stats. All other forms of abandons will be considered Late, and the outcome of the match will be recorded in your stats.

Penalty

 * Two abandoned games in a short period of time result in player being put in Low Priority matchmaking for 24 hours.
 * Each additional abandonment will add the same amount of hours to the time that the player is forced to spent in the Low Priority matchmaking queue.
