Reputation system - rewarding and sanctioning players

The reputation system enhances players actions in a team by rewarding positive actions and sanctioning negative actions.

Reputation does not measure a player's K/D ratio, frags, assists, damage, wins.

Reputation system measures only the player's behavior against his/her team.

Reputation can be negative, neutral and positive.

Actions must be somehow possible to register in the game.

Player's current reputation is visible on his/her banner.

For positive reputation, players receive Apex packs (for example). Negative reputation – temporary bans, or totally new map for all players with negative reputation 😉.

Negative actions (propositions):

  • spamming with pings and/or spamming on text/voice chat;
  • quitting early, disconnecting, etc.;
  • using offensive language, harassment etc.;
  • cheating/hacking etc.;
  • "stealing" dibbed loot (maybe).

Positive actions (propositions):

  • not relinquishing Jumpmaster status :P;
  • reviving, respawning;
  • using Legend's power
  • using different pings for loot/positioning/attacking/defending etc.;
  • staying in a match at least until your banner is active.

    i feel like the "punish early leavers in pubs!"  is an emotional response.  not logical.

    but willing to compromise perhaps dont let someone quit until a 30 second timer passes.   the last thing we want is to not be able to play another match for a period of time. 

    finding friends to play with is also another way to guarantee your team doesnt leave.

    comment below:  if you want to put a frowny face next to my name, im perfectly fine with that.  👍

    @NoLove1337 I am not insisting on heavily punishing leavers - just displaying a bad reputation on a player's account should lead to leveraging that player into a better team player. Nobody wants to have a negative label stuck to their account.

    @AreYouShivering And it should be easily to go up on that reputation ladder. Just play few games according to the rules, and you go from negative into neutral and then positive. Also, this reputation system can be temporary, resets into neutral after season - not something that stays with you forever.

    @AreYouShiveringI think having any negative system might not be truly representative due to toxicity or frustration. Having a ladder to climb positively though, especially in random matchmaking (due to exploits) could work with badges obtainable like ''till the bitter end'' or ''taking the lead'' to show others you're a team player is potentially a good idea.

    Reputation doesn't have to be very obtrusive or giving too much negative feedback to the player. For example, something like this:
    Yellow light [neutral]
    Red light [negative]l
    Green light [positive]
