Time punishment for leavers

Quite often I see people disconnecting when they die,I always try to rescue my team mates, sometimes you even kill the whole enemy squad but now you have to play the rest of the game with 1 or 2 fewe...

I've been in games like this myself and can relate. Frustrating! I'm not sure if the developers want to implement anything that makes players feel "punished" for leaving the game if the option is available. There is currently an incentive of 5% bonus to survival time XP while joining games with friend(s), so definitely take advantage of that when you can by friend requesting players you enjoyed playing with.

We have a Friend A Squad board for those looking to group up with others too. Check it out!

Are there any suggestions you have in mind for encouraging players to stay alive to be revived/dropped back in aside from giving them temporary cooldowns before joining their next game?

Im against this, As one of the many people affected by random crashes and disconnects i dont want to have to wait an additional x amount of time to get into a new game.... It sucks when people leave thats true, alot of the time its not actually them leaving though its the game crashing. That being said i have left a few games under certain circumstances

1. last guy alive on our team is AFK bot.

2. The team isnt gonna survive (missing shots on non moving targets within 10m of them)

3. The team has a-holes on voice either breathing into the mic or just being annoying.

4. Lack of communication, or people ignoring banners not helping the team... i guess some people think this is a sandbox game.

5. Had a guy fake revive me for 3 minutes so i just left.

and a various other reasons.
