A few weeks ago, before my computer started shutting down, I got Banned from rainbow for 15 days. Their reason was that I was apparently using cheats, when in reality I probably just had random teammates on the team using cheats that affected me as well.

​

So my question is: Is it really true that the rank I had before I got banned disappears because of the ban itself or it just disappears because I was inactive for a long period because of this ban?
