Unfair abandon penalties system in Rainbow Six siege affects players and streamers around the world significantly, and the current state of game servers is largely to blame for that. After being kicked out of the match, in most cases is impossible to return, which then directly leads to a penalty, and, in some cases, also to a removal of renown points. As committed to the game players (and many of us actually spending money on it), we believe this system is too punishing, too harsh and completely unfair.

Therefore we raise this petition to prompt Ubisoft to address and resolve the issue in a positive manner showing care for the playerbase. We acknowledge that abandon penalty may not be possible to be removed entirely, however we believe that the system should be improved with:

• better reconnect options - if the team decides to cancel the match, the person only gets 1-3 hour maximum penalty in ranked, and no penalty in standard mode. If it's a standard match abandon, the player gets 60 minutes penalty each time, and this doesn't increase.
  
  
• If the player abandons match (due to connection issues), and cannot reconnect, they should be able to provide a screenshot of the reconnect issue, to showcase when it is the game servers issue and to avoid the penalty / have the penalty removed
  
  
• there should be an option for streamers with an established viewership / existing Partner and Affiliate accounts to be able to appeal a penalty (and have it removed) on a basis of bringing viewers and players to the game
  
  
• The abandon penalty should be restructured with reductions in a penalty time and different penalty systems for ranked and standard mode
  
  
  
• The renown points should not be removed unless the abandon happens on a regular basis, at least 3 times in a row over a short period of time, and it's clear it was a deliberate abandon.
