I'm not sure that the relative number of quitters is the qualifier for whether or not the mode needs a quit penalty.
But, let's say for the sake of argument that Respawn gives all quitters, any mode, a 5 minute time out. So then let's say that a player is in a trios match and is the first to go down during the final two. Let's say you're convinced that the player who downed you was cheating. Let's say you're also convinced that your squadmates are better off fighting it out than trying to revive you. Why should that player stay for the extra 15 or 20 seconds that match has to run?
Now I'll try again with a different scenario. Let's say you have a teammate who goes with you to your hot drop and is the first player out of 60 to get downed. Let's say that player is mentally finished with the match at that point, upset at matchmaking, upset at cheaters, upset with his hot dropping jump master. Let's say that instead of riding out a 5 minute penalty he decides to stay in the match. And just put the controller down and do nothing. Or maybe he decides to grief you with gunfire and grenades, attracting every enemy within earshot. In an attempt to get both his teammates killed, partly out of spite, partly out of a desire to re-queue immediately. I could go on all night with a lengthy list of the things an angry and spiteful teammate could do to ruin your match. It would make his quitting look like a blessing. So I guess what I'm saying here is, be careful what you wish for.
Feedback on either scenario?
lmao been on all sides of your scenarios, especially the - " he decided to stay in the match to ruin it" In my defense I've only done this b/c I've seen they are doing it first to me😆
For instance, the guy that makes his own Jumpmaster decisions, I would hunt him down all away across the map, lose my teammate in the process but make sure I stay alive just to see Non-"Jumpmaster" perish!

Well, my friend, be glad you never got me as a teammate - I don't think I've dropped with my jump master since about season two!
