Punish Disconnecting Losers
I think people playing in public matches should be punished lightly for disconnecting. Not as severe as the timed ban like on ranked, though. Here is my suggestion: When the player clicks "leave matc...

@SorryWeDied Meh don’t care that much in pubs. I had one leave me, went on to win as a solo. I sent him a screenshot to which he replied, “don’t care you took wraith” i replied, but I’m not going to post my response on here.
Mixed feelings about this, I'm guilty of leaving in pups after dying tho.
I leave in rare cases but sometimes you feel there is no synergy and know it's a 2 min game.
Just a small punishment could do, No XP for 5-10 games, or maybe a little timer till your team is eliminated I don't know.
@Zeelmaekers I think thats why @Godisbullen idea of a karma system is great, it only impacts the gameplay of people regularly impacting others game experience.
We all leave sometimes,if i've been deathboxed, and my teammate is left fighting a couple of teams with no hope of escape or a turn around i'll leave. More often than not though when one teammate goes down the rest usually follow almost instantly, especially when you're the better player in the team.
If you're willfully abandoning your team for no good reason though ( Darth provided a great example) there should be consequences.
@MandatoryIDtagBut what about those times I want to leave? I left a few tonight intentionally.. Killed 2 people, squad mate did a big fat 0 damage. He did not even work as a bullet sponge. He comes running up to the death boxes swipes everything purple/gold before I have a chance. I tell him you can drop the loot you just stole or I'll leave the match. He did not drop it, so I just left the match.
It's the only way we can punish loot goblins and it's a problem in this game. Yeah I get rounds with people who are really chill about loot/death boxes. But the loot goblins are typically 1. not that good and 2. unpleasant to play with. I feel like most people are good about loot, I had quite a few the night before who were on the same page as me. We would take turns on the death boxes unless ring was closing then it was a "you take that death box I got this one, need anything?" then we would trade once we made it to circle.
I suppose the other option is for me to just play with them. Let them die take the loot back and not respawn them or just deal with it. Sometimes it's not a huge deal, but when I'm running a R-99 and have no mag, they take the mag... I'm not going to be happy. First round the mag is not a huge deal but as it becomes later rounds and you start bumping into purple armor, that mag becomes insanely important.@DarthValtrex Well if it was a karma based system, You earn positive karma for sticking around, negative for leaving.
So if you're only leaving the occasional match it wouldnt really matter at all, as all the full matches you play are offsetting it.
It's a more forgiving system than the soft bans of ranked which is a better fit for casual lobbies, you're just getting what you give back. 😛
