Behavior after clicking the "Exit Match" button

The current spec is that after you press the "Exit Match" button, you are tied to the match for a while while standing there with a stupid message like "Connected to Lobby", etc. This should be replaced with an immediate exit from the match at the moment you press the button.
It is not right that the player is forced to stand still for a while while the attack from the enemy is coming through even though the exit button is pressed.
If they can't even do that, then at the very least, they should be able to leave the match without being attacked or damaged at all when they press the exit button.

It's just too stupid to have the player stand there for a while with a stupid message like "connected to lobby" while taking damage.

    This used to be a pet peeve of mine. I assumed it was intentional, so that even if you got out fast enough to keep the "death" off your record, the enemy would still get a "kill" on theirs even if they only got a single shot on you. Which always annoyed me because it makes it seem as if the only reason anyone would leave a match is to artificially boost their k/d by leaving without dying. Which was NEVER what I was trying to do.

    I'm saying that regardless of K/D or anything else, it's not right to free damage against an opponent who has already indicated his intention to leave the match and stopped moving at all.
    There are plenty of reasons to get out of a match (especially a casual one) in the first place.
    For example, realizing you were in a match you didn't intend to be in, time constraints, etc.
    Whether you do or not has absolutely nothing to do with me and I don't care, but I'm saying that the very phenomenon of players who are trying to leave a match being left unprotected in the match for a certain amount of time is strange in the first place.
    To me, I don't really care about K/D or anything else, but I'm saying it's not right to be able to unilaterally fire and do damage against an enemy who is unprotected and never fires back in an attempt to exit a match.
    If you don't like the fact that if you leave a match with even one hit, a "kill" will be recorded on the enemy's record without question, just make it so that no "kills" are recorded if you don't have a confirmed kill.
    Besides, if you find out in the middle of a battle that one of your allies or enemies is a cheat user, this extra waiting time will cause the cheat user to do extra damage (or get extra kills).
    In any case, it is wrong for a player who is sure to leave a match when he/she presses the "Exit Match" button to be left standing in the match unprotected for a while.
    And when I was a DDoS victim, this extra waiting time caused me to lose all my results in that match.
