Re: Punish leavers in normal games too

Maybe they could add a system that gives warnings and punishments for leaving matches before your squad is eliminated (unless your respawn banner times out or you get kicked due to connection and/or glitches). Maybe with a system to keep track of and add punishments for each warning (maybe five warnings is a 15 minute ban from matchmaking, ten is a thirty minute ban, fifteen is a one day ban, twenty is a week ban, and twenty five is a perm ban or something like that). I also think that they could balance that with a system that lowers the warning tally by one for every ten or so games played without leaving early. I think this would work well with both ranked and pubs. It would incentivize players who frequently leave to change their behavior.

Maybe these could be the things that apply warnings:

Leaving because you don't get to play your preferred Legend

Leaving during drop

Leaving after landing/while playing normally

Leaving while knocked

Leaving after being eliminated (but before your respawn banner times out)

Leaving while being respawned

Leaving due to being AFK/AFC

These two things definitely shouldn't lead to warnings though:

Leaving due to a glitch (crash, bug, etc.)

Leaving due to a connection problem

What do you guys think?

    @GenericSchlub those sound like a good start and seem fair to me. 

    Id also add a penalty for pinging more than once while dead awaiting respswn.

    You guys are tripping. I'm not a quitter,  I don't leave games. I also dont pig when I'm down. Unless its useful information. But I also don't care if bad team mates leave.  If they span ping I mute them.  Most this Pepole are giving you false confidence . It's a casual game made for fun. No one should get bab not even for a minute. There should be a different way. 

    Reward good team mates with badges, charms, etc.   Give them something to display and be proud of. As for the other guys .  Who cares? Dont even bother with them. There are to many of them. Just hunt and kill them next game thats what kill feeds are for and message them. Say, what's up b+*^.

    Remember an a hole that was bad team mate? Realized he in your lobby? Trolling time 😉
