*** are you re-spawnable? yes.
*** if squad-mates don't pick up your banner till timer ends, then you can leave. You have to wait around 90 seconds.
you left immediately and you got penalty. Your squad-mates had no chance to re-spawn you and less chance to win game, because you are rage-quitter. Players like you deserve penalties.
Okay okay I see so many threads regarding leaving penalties with 2 conflicting things so I’m gonna ask:
Do you get panalties when you leave, even if your squad is alive, after you’ve waited those 90 seconds?
Cause I see claims from ppl who waited and that they got penalties and from ppl who say that you have to wait till you’re squad is wiped and they don’t want to wait for some scrub to camp for 15 mins...
It would be stupid to punish for "early" leaving when player is dead and can't be revived/re-spawned.
I am positive that you can leave after 90 sec, if banner is not obtained.
Community AdminOnce you're unrevivable after your box times out, you can leave. However if your banner is recovered, you need to wait for the team wipe/ win. This can lead to a situation where a revive is unviable (the only beacons are too deep in the ring to safely use), but this generally would only be lategame. We've also seen some complaints of unpleasant types holding the banner to troll people, but I personally haven't encountered it.
@EA_DavidAhhh so that’s where it goes wrong, ‘got the banner’... spongebob’s 5 minutes later... ‘yea this is taking too long’ ... D/C -> penalty...
Thx for informing
@SlivPTS Well I’ve seen some stupid reasons in this game that makes you think twice, so leaving ‘early’ in the situation you mentioned wouldn’t even surprise me...
i.e. being all alone in since beginning, leave the match and still get penalty...
@SlivPTS If it wasn’t a generalized rhetorical ‘why you wanna leave’; Why you assuming I want to leave? Like I’ve stated multiple times, I dont play ranked and likely won’t play it either. After what I’ve seen what kind of campfest hullabalooza it was last season, I can’t be bothered.
And a possible reasons for wanting to leave when queue’d up alone:
1) Don’t wanna play hitman evolved style
2) Having a full rambo mode style
3) boring alone
4) chances of earning lots of RP is basically out the window
@Koochi-QIf you're still having nightmares from Wattson meta last season, you may be pleased to know she's very rarely played this season, even in diamond games (well, yet, that will definitely change in diamond/pred games when everyone sees competitive meta is still the same).
Also, the new scoring system also encourages more active play, and that can be felt very profoundly in reality (especially if you like starting in Capitol).
Last survivors quitting can also help enemy teams get more RP by pushing up their placement. For example, you may have friends in enemy teams, so you can avoid some fights to let your squad mates die, then avoid picking up their banners so that you remain solo. At this point, you can quit and push your friends one place up if they're still in the game, while also taking out of the match the RP that another enemy would get by killing you. Considering this perspective, getting a leaver penalty makes sense even if your chances of surviving alone are slim.
I'd say that players should get some form of punishment from killing themselves as well, like a few RP if they jump off the map or die in the lava or outside the ring without an enemy damaging them in the previous 20-30 seconds. Or maybe fixed costs, -10 RP for falling off the map, -1 RP per tick when outside the ring or walking on lava.
