take down the penalty for leaving Ranked Matched

The penalty system is pointless and will only push players away from the game. When there is already a system to keep players from losing points when their teammates leave why would you punish the players for leaving. I shouldn’t have to watch as a troll T-Bags my box after I die instead of picking up my tags because I don’t want to have a 30 minute time penalty. That just encourages toxic people to be even more toxic, specially in a ranked mode where you can’t succeeded with randoms so if you try that is often the case.

@Iverson43 The reason why you get the penalty is to detour you from just leaving. Most people who are looking to rank up want to play a lot to earn a lot of RP. Getting penalties are not fun for them so that's why not many leave in rank. If it was just point loss, then once someone rages, they're already off to the next game. I don't like the penalties either, considering the game sometimes tricks me into thinking my team is dead, and I leave and get punished for it.

Although, you must be leaving a lot. I've only left 4 ranked matches. First disconnect was a family emergency, the other 3 was me thinking the team was wiped out. The time I waited the first time was 5 minutes, since then it's been 10 minutes.

I just got penalty because my teammate purposely punch me and i fall out of the map edge. So I leave the match cause my teammate killed me. I got penalty because "I ruined my teammates game". My teammate ruined my game not the other way. So I deleted game, this systems is so stupid.

@Voivitttu I simply can't understand why it's so difficult to wait for the banner timer to run out. Stuff like this can happen on Olympus a lot since there's places you can accidentally fall off from as well. The point of ranked is to make you take it seriously, not just instinctively leave as most people do after raging in trios/duos. It's a valid system - either wait out the banner timer which is like a minute, or deal with waiting a couple of dozens of minutes to play ranked again. All up to you.
Also, you deleted the game and bothered to come to the forums to rant? I find that very hard to believe.
