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?

 hate to say it, but this is not a good idea.. You are looking to punish people for leaving a game? What if you get knocked and it's clear your teammates are running in a different direction? Should you be punished because you are not willing too "bleed out" and then wait for the timer to expire? 

I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me. I always try to at least get my teammates banners, if I can't get too them and pick them up.. So I should be punished for a teammate that runs away? I just think that's ridiculous.

    Why not one for someone who leaves 5 games in a row? Why is nuance hard?

    Ever had a situation that at the start of the game there is a huge fight, then you have time to res everyone but your team just insta leave to another game after they die. Now you are stuck with solo or duo, you think that's better than having someone wait 2 minutes before they can leave the game? 

    Think it wouldn't be that bad if they made it, that if you prematurely leave a game 10 times you get less xp each game afterwards, like in overwatch you get like 20% of the xp if you always leave don't think that would be that harsh,
