Recently I just had the banhammer strike me tonight for the first time in H5. Save your judgment till after my thoughts.
I’m level 150, I’ve played a lot of H5 so for the first time to happen tonight warrants this post. I quit out of two FFA games tonight, the first of which was this game :

Why did I quit ? Because in the first 10 sec of the game I was lagging uncontrollably. I was Blue 2 and running to P2 and the next thing I know I’m back at blue 2 as in I was back in time. I’ve lagged before in this game in the 3+ years but never this bad and I haven’t lagged at all in the last month or two since I’ve upgraded my modem and my router. This game was on another level of messed up and after two deaths and realizing none of my shots are connecting I decide I must of been placed into a Korea server and I quit the game…
I play 3 more games with adequate game play, by that I mean I wasn’t lagging 10 yards at a time and people were dying when shot. My 4th game was this:

Where I experience the same darn problem. Lagging unconcontrollably and I have no choice but to quit again. I refuse to play a 10 min match without a kill just for the sake of me not deciding to quit. I again don’t think much but then I get a message saying I’ve been banned for 10 min .
Now, by the time I’ve written this post my ban has subsided and I can continue further but I’m a man of principle and feel like this was totally unwarranted…I’ve come back to this game recently within the last few months and tonight just gave me a sour note where I just want to put the game down again.
No real reason for this post other than to bring attention to this games laughable banhammer system and how matchmaking is currently working. The pop in my region is not low at 9pm on a east coast server I was finding games instantly but for some darn reason the game felt I needed to play with people in Korea and I paid the price… Not cool…
Also I’m not sour or anything that I was champion 3 days ago and now I’m diamond 6…ha I guess you gotta keep a sense of humor right.
