Leaver penalty wtf?
Why did I get 90 min penalty for quiting my first rank game, after my banner timer had ran out, after not being picked up, ive only played 7 rank games, and quit once,, wtf is going on
Forum Discussion
? I can offer no further assistance other than look through the view of the teammate ,that didn't pick me up. infact it was a selfish player, that was jump master landed on train, me other guy died, he runs way , saying sorry I play aggressive, and leaves us.
and I get punished for it.,, .
I get that, but why did I get 90 mins for first time leave? others i see got 1 min, 5 mins 30 mins etc etc.
makes no sense what so ever.
@SgtArmpitLooking around is still helpful. People as said and mentioned above miss things and which you may not.
Extra pair of eyes since you can switch between the remaining players.
Sadly you will noticed a lot of ego people in the game. A lot of them are also extremely bad team players but could be individually good. Can't escape that.
You get punished for leaving early when teammates are still alive, the game can still be won by himself. So leaving early gives a penalty, have you done that more then once in your 7 games. Then yes you will get your 90 minutes eventually.
If thats not the case then send a support note to the devs and ask. I have 142 games this season, I've had 1x 5 minute penalty.
yeah thanks, I agree with everything you say, but, i only 7 games, 1 quit,, are the penalties higher for higher ranks? I starting in gold 2.
90 mins was a shock haha.
@SgtArmpitIt could be possible that its higher in higher ranks.
Just keep it in mind for next time. Believe me I feel as frustrated as you do when people behave like they do 🙂
I started in the lowest bracket, I havent played since season 1. New map, new to everything ^^
Did from lowest to Gold 1 in the weekend, and 70% is with players who dont listen, talk, want to help 🙂 But gets better and better ^^- @Kartofeeeeel yeh best you go early, I started late last season ,was amission to get through plat solo, got to dia few days before end,.
is there a de-rank this season?
k ,I notice when I quit, I only lost 20 rank points,, now respawn should increase the points lost by quitting, as this is important to people trying to climb.
the problem with quitiers is later in the season when players rank up , and sit at the bottom of their tier, ie plat 4 players, they have nothing to lose from quitting points wise,
these are the people that should be punished for time penalties. or better yet de ranked, relegated to their level.

You also get penalized if you leave Regular mode as well as Ranked games.
- PENALTIES
We deactivated leaver penalties in Series 1 to be overly cautious on false positives. This time we’re starting Ranked Series 2 with leaver penalties enabled. Players who abandon their teammates will be hit with a matchmaking penalty in both Regular and Ranked matches. Penalties will result in a player being barred from joining a match for escalating amounts of time based on how often they have abandoned in Ranked. An abandon is defined as leaving the game before the match is over for you; this includes leaving during character select, leaving while you are alive, and leaving when you are dead but can still be respawned by teammates. Penalty times start out at five minutes, and repeat abandons will increase that time up to a week.
Bottom of the list right next to Loss Forgiveness.
@RevenanT-G7That's not true. Leaver penalty only applies to ranked mode. IF you leave a ranked game, then you won't be able to play normal either (haven't tried it, though), but you can leave normal games freely (and it should stay this way - casual is casual, there's no need to make it hardcore). I've already left more than a fair share of casual games and I can assure you - it has no penalty (and no, I don't feel bad about it - it's kind of mutual understanding between everyone, that whoever dies in casual will leave and just go for a new game; same logic obviously does not apply to ranked where ppl have points at stake).
As for OP's 90min penalty - it's either a lie (left more than 1 and does not want to admit it) or a bug. It should start at 5 min.
