Leave Buster Proposal

@BobHobbsgoblin 

With all respect but all your ideas are incredibly bad and ineffective.

The leave buster will be worked around by trolls by simply having more than one account. Absolutely nothing will change. Like for real.
Meanwhile players that have legit reasons to leave will be punished.(Trolls will go the extra mile of creating a second, third and fourth account and cycle through it; legit players will not.)

With that said they need to start to flag and punish accounts that are made ONLY to disconnect when the match start.(I have heard of some hacks that make it so there's less people in the match and gives the player using a better chance to win. That's why you see matchs that before the ship is open have 40 players)

Also we need a solo queue before we talk about any of that. I very often leave when i see that my teammates barely can play. You think it's frustrating playing with one player less. But from my point of view often i'm playing with 2 players dragging me down. Stealing loot, making a lot of noise when i want to hear enemy steps, shooting guns randomly giving my position, hoarding itens they don't need and what's worse i cannot even flee from them since there's no way to hide my position from them.

It's infuriating how often people like that are in my team and at the same time i see people like you complaining about leavers.

Completely on this ,  leavers are just cancer,  2 teamies down , take down the whole squad , pickup their banners, on the way to revive station and they just leave , it ruins the whole game ,

people just leave mid jump from the aircraft , like wtf , there should be some penalization involved.

Still too stiff but yes just had a team abandon me before it even starts happens once a day they do need a small penalty

Maybe you gave it too much thought but something definitely must be done with leavers, right now disconnect is the expected behaviour when people is down  even if you can easily revive them they just leave to start a new game

most of the selfish post on this forum is sure fire ways to kill your game.

Another brilliant argument by Arcane xd

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. NOPE.

It is not your decision to be telling people when they can or can't quit games. If they're in a duo, and their friend crashes out, do you expect their friend to just sit there and wait from the very start of a match, or just back-out and retry a match again?

People need to stop complaining about leavers, "abuse" (that isn't even abuse), and other completely unnecessary, whiny, and pointless things that have no impact whatsoever on a game, beyond making it worse.

If you don't believe me, let's take a look at Overwatch.
The first thing Blizzard implemented was penalising leavers because players complained that a leaver meant they can't win the game anymore; which resulted in players that were extremely frustrated with dealing with others, couldn't leave. They had to remain in the game and deal with their frustration outright. This created far more toxicity in the game.
Next, a report system was implemented to deal with the toxicity, to combat "racial, sexist, homophobic, bullying etc"... because those players that complained about leavers, are now the ones complaining that those same leavers that can't leave are hurting their feelings... none of the actual reasons behind the report system have ever been effectively fought (I regularly stream Overwatch, and pretty much every single one of my streams has someone being racist, homophobic, xenophobic, sexist, or just an all-round general waste of oxygen), and players now just use the "Abusive chat" as a weapon against someone who disagrees with their opinion.

Since the report system is continually abused (and still is because Blizzard have an automated system they couldn't care less about monitoring...), people now no longer use voice comms, or text comms at all to communicate in a team game, because if they do, they're either going to be "called bad" which apparently hurts their feelings, or they're going to be reported or telling someone to "shut up".

So lets recap;
Blizzard implemented a system that prevents leaving, and created toxicity.
Blizzard implemented a system that combats toxicity, but in turn that system was abused more than the gamers actually were abusive.

Blizzard implemented an automatic report handling scenario to combat the amount of reports received, and players are either banned unjustly, or don't communicate or work as a team at all now.

Is this really what you want in this game too, or are you just going to let someone quit since it literally has no bearing on the outcome of the game whatsoever since you have no skill rating, no competitive ladder, literally nothing is impacted by you winning or losing a game?

There should be a disincentive for people to disconnect, but you really need to make sure you're not punishing people who experience crashes.

If I remember rightly one of the Halo games had incremental bans like someone has suggested. Something like 30sec for fist offence inside 15mins, then 1min for 2nd offence, 3mins, 5mins etc etc. In addition i think they could only get back into their original lobby for the time of their 'ban'.

The aim was to 'timeout' people who genuinely rage quit by making them wait an ever increasing time and/or forcing them back into the game they quit. But at the same time it didn't penalise the occasional random disconnect or shutdown as it'd take more time to load the game than the lengths of 1st and 2nd offence bans.

I hope that made sense.....
