Leave Penalty A Poor Excuse To Fix A Problem

Maybe the ones that leave games prematurely, never pick up your banners, or solo drop somewhere else on the map away from your squad? We hope once this goes into effect it's not going to deter anyone from playing more nor do we want players to feel like they're being "punished."

There's a lot of forum posts though from others that feel too many players are solo jumping elsewhere or just not being patient enough to wait for teammates to grab their banner. Ranked is competitive and this feature in sense should help encourage others to reach a common goal of moving up the ladder.

It might seem like a long time spectating your teammate and hopefully they give you some signal they'll go for your banner, but there times when going for the banner is simply just too risky. If you timed out and want to earn more RP, put faith in your teammate and continue to spectate. Toss out some calls for them that might make the difference between 5th place and 3rd. Can't tell you how many times some teammates quit early and still finished top 3 by myself.
