Abandon Penalty Cooldown/Reset
I can't find any published info about a cooldown or reset of the abandon penalty after a specific time period has elapsed--other games I've encountered a deserter or leaver penalty in have integrated...

And this response is so old. It does not allow for d/c or accidental leaves which happen. All these righteous * insisting "don't leave" are the exact players who's team I never want to be on.
@Solar_Corona_7"accidental leaves which happen." how can it be accidental when there's a confirmation if you really want to leave?
Another Holier Than Thou poster...So you might be young enough to play all day without interruptions but sometimes I have to get up and attend to family members, family members may inevitably get hold of my controller whilst I've put it down because I can't bare watching another 500 kill Lifeline carry me around to die in his next gun fight in 20 minutes time, because quite literally as the saying goes, accidents happen. I accidentally left a game this morning, I got distracted, forgot I was playing ranked, came back to my controller (see point one) and then realised I had landed mid map without a gun or shield. I left using muscle memory because I know the button combo to do so without looking and then realised I had been penalised. That one is sorta on me BUT I don't expect to be shafted for a 45 min penalty from games I did intentionally leave 3 weeks ago.
1. Connection drop.
2. Power outage.
3. Other emergencies.
After a rage quit I had precisely those 3 incidents in a week and accumulated a fairly large penalty. So, your team leader -not your team- makes a suicide jump, and then runs away, then never comes back for the team that actually fought well, and you have to wait for respawn timer to go off and the idiot keeps looting half a mile away. That's pretty stupid. If you count the time lost waiting for those guys, it's almost as a large penalty as the abandon one.
There should be at least a decent cooldown, i.e. times you wait for a respawn or finished games. It's stupid and unfair, and in the end I simply play another game.
