Abandon penalty needs revised

Let me just say that there should always abandonment penalties because it sucks when a teammate leaves. When you get disconnected by connection issues that should be another story. I have never left a game early before and because my wifi went out for a second I got abandonment penalties without the option to join back even though I wanted to. This is just dumb. At least just void the match for connection issues because it's pretty frustrating losing almost 50 sr for being disconnected unwillingly. Sure I can get that back in one game but it took me so long to get to gold just to lose it the next game.

  • @Mutedphoenix849 Ngl, the amount of terrible randoms I end up playing with in PUBS I always leave early if I go down and they are just no where near me... people aren't team players and everyone does it to me so sometimes I do it back.
  • @Mutedphoenix849 Last night I got disconnected cause my net just died randomly and I got an abandonment time out and lost points but to me it's no big deal.The problem with what you want is that it's really easy to fake an internet connection issue.
    "Oh I got newbie teammates? Let me just unplug my lan cable/turn off my wifi so I don't lose points"
    It can be easily abused.I don't think they'll ever change it.
  • @Mutedphoenix849 The issue is they dont know if you caused the connection issue or not. Some people were unplugging their connection or running a connection test on console to fake that they didnt do it.

    The issue I see in your case is it should have allowed you to connect back in, even if you were dead. I have never had it not let me, tho I rarely disconnect. Are you sure you didnt quit, realize it and regret it?
  • @rockyboy1998 If you're going down and your other two teammates are somewhere else then it's a fairly strong indicator that you're the one not being a team player.
    Mind you, you're definitely not in that boat alone but like they say 'be the change you want to see'.

    @xTomboyRespecter I get where your coming from but let me go in some more detail...

    When I drop on PUBS I always have my mic on and speak to my teammates and say basic commands like "enemy" or "on me" but they never listen... I landed and Octanes once... downed 2 players and was pinging the whole time when both of my teammates decided to leave, one went to airbase died there and the other went to the town just outside of Octanes... in this instance I will leave.

    If I am playing with people who actually try and work as a team then I will stay in the game but I think a lot of people in Pubs forget that it is a team game and just do their own thing which I cannot understand.
