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?
