When you're very skilled, a game tends to reward you with immaterial things like golden guns, a little badge by your name, even animated flames to show off how hot you are, hot stuff. Apparently it's topsy-turvy day in Warzone 2.0 and players who are racking up kills are being booted from the game in response.
Let's not mix things up. Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 saw 25 million players in its first week and players had a heck of a time with the silliness of the proximity chat feature. There was one person who organised a drop-off service pretending to be an Uber driver in the midst of the chaos of Al Mazrah.
It is the events that have transpired since then that has soured players' opinions. The DMZ mode was a drag, the reinvented Gulag lost momentum, and the return of a Roze-like skin incited the community's ire. For players, it's one thing after the other, and this latest goof has sent their blood pressure into the stratosphere.
Remember the original Warzone? Those were the days. You all complained just as much as you do now though. Check out these wins and fails for a hit of nostalgia:

In a series of unfortunate events that not even a trio of orphans could've comprehended, players are being disconnected and shadowbanned from Warzone 2.0 for scoring a certain number of kills. Here's what it looks like:

All aboard the struggle bus - they will be checking tickets. "Bro I had this happen in a 1v1 situation while I’m 2 feet from the final enemy and literally shooting him. Man’s got the easiest win of his life," said pro player and Warzone content creator Expel. Vicious. Some pointed out that a portion of the player base aren't going to have experienced this error as they haven't reached 10 kills in one game yet, but there are plenty of examples on social media. Fingers crossed Infinity Ward sorts this one out soon as it's cheating the skilled players out of their deserved victories.
