Suggestions to Improve Leaver Penalty

It's good that we finally have this in game, as the leavers really became a problem, but the current implementation is a bit rough, I'd say. Here are some improvements that could work:


1. The leave menu could have a teammate granting permission step, allowing a player to leave the match at any moment with no penalty if the other teammate(s) agree (player XYZ wants to leave the match, do you agree? Y/N).

2. The living teammates can use a special ping wheel option stating that they can't bring him back, granting the eliminated player permission to leave with no consequences if he doesn't have hope to be brought back nor the desire to spectate.

3. Game settings can add a leaver tolerance toggle: strict (penalty for leavers unless their respawn is not possible anymore / game or net issues occur), moderate ( 2 minutes of waiting time after which the eliminated player can leave with no penalty) and no constraints (player can leave at any moment with no penalty). The current setting would be displayed under the player's banner, as a heads-up.

4. Players could have 2-3 leaver permissions every 24 hours, immaculate monthly penalty record could reward an extra daily permission, for the entire duration of the current season, while accumulating more than 5-10 penalties taking away a daily permission.

  • @Hur1kan Well, I don't think it's that hard to kill your own connection or fake a crash by killing certain processes to circumvent a penalty, on PC at least. Faulty setups, software, hardware, poor connections are not Respawn's fault.
  • FIRST STEP:

    Add leaver penalty to normal mode!

    At the moment leaver really destroy the game...

    There is no waiting at all... They die they quit!

    Had 13 matches today, 9 with leavers in the first minutes or even in the lobby..

    I am 80% of time waiting in lobby and just 20% having fun playing the game..

    This is a joke!

    Na, I really thought something changes with season 4!

    Good I haven't bought battlepass or anything...

    Just not worth it!

    if you leave the remaining players get 50 percent of your shields added to theirs. and 50 percent more ammo for every player who leaves. and a super jump like Micheal Jordan.
