Re: Abandon Penalty Cooldown/Reset
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.
