Among Us bans players for 5 minutes if they leave the game intentionally more than 3 times

Come on, you can't deny that its fun being an imposter. But because of this, the Among Us community has been suffering from player disconnections ever since the game's outburst. If they are not crewmates, they leave the game. Therefore, it has become an extremely common yet toxic practice in the community for players to disconnect from a match at the very beginning if they aren't selected as the Impostor. This can result in a 10-man lobby turning into less than half its capacity; within a matter of seconds after starting the game. And then, how will imposters play if there are no crewmates? Well, Innersloth just maybe fixed it.

Among Us 5-minute bans for disconnections

The ban was already in place when Among Us pulled out its 2019 update. It wasn't much in use back then. "We've added a 5-minute ban to players who leave games or close the app in the middle of a game," said the devs.

The new 5-minute bans could be an extremely positive step from InnerSloth towards a better in-game experience. Although Among Us lobbies have become frustrating for many players, positive fixes and proper punishment features could make the game even more fun and popular than it is now.

InnerSloth had previously announced that they won't work towards a sequel for Among Us. Instead, the developers would like to work on the existing game to make it even better for the community. However, the constantly growing number of hackers and cheaters in the game has left a bitter taste in the mouth of the Among Us community.

If InnerSloth continues to release updated features to provide a better in-game experience for players; the community will soon forget about their current sufferings. However, it remains to be seen how these temporary bans will affect the overall experience in Among Us. Players who disconnect for not being selected as Impostors will now have to reconsider the temporary ban before doing so.
