Game is pretty much unplayable because in 3 of 4 games you have that one guy who just charges in and then quits are soon as hes downed or dead.
Is it that hard to just add a increasing timeout with every quit so they cant start a new game for a while.
And dont come with "then play ranked", i dont play ranked, and if ranked would be the solution for everything why not just remove the normal mode completely there.
@TheManiac2323
Ranked has that penalty.
Pubs is just pubs. I think it is better to quit than being locked in with bad team mates, or team mates who have a dramatically different playstyle --kinda like you describe. It saves a lot of frustration.
@Vdstrk If you don't want frustration there's no fill option made just for this case. Anyone who starts a pub with teammates and plans to do everything on his own right from the start (leaving as soon as he's knocked) deserves a penalty. It doesn't have to be a time penalty but something is necessary to stop this plague.
@Cro_Pittt
Nope. It does not. No fill is if you wanna play solo. I like playing with a team that behaves as a team.
If a player in my team acts randomly, or, say, that player picks my banner up and trolls with respawning, or trolls with rezzing, toxicity, ineptitude, etc, I have the right to leave.
Leaving is also a way to balance the poor job MM does in PUBS.
Having leaver penalty in PUBS is...laughable.
Similarly, if you dislike leavers, play ranked.
If you don't want me to leave the game then stop insta dying, stop playing like a *, stop annoying me, stop landing somewhere dumb, stop spam pinging enemies before anyone has even dropped, etc..
@CCbathwater
One of the reasons I avoid ranked is that I may be locked in with players who are very toxic and bad, and have to stay "or else".
Yes you can mute them. Yes you can report them.
Then we are left with arguing if the game is a team based game or not anymore --given no comms in particular if you mute both the players and their pings.
I have left some games despite having the best loadout ever, in Pubs, because 8 minutes in, they were still looting. I was literally crouched in a spot waiting for the team.....
Or because I was the worse on the team... my team mates were both level 500 and skilled. Clearly it was not my lobby. It was more the time I was there licking the floor then the "help" I would have provided. It was actually me dragging the team down by dying constantly, and clearly they were better off without me. It wasn't fun for me nor them, better move on.
@Vdstrk You said that it's ok to leave if your teammates have different playstyle. I don't see any team play there. Both of you have to adapt to eachother. Of course for every single thing there are exceptions, like you mentioned people trolling or being afk, it's ok to leave in those and other extreme cases . But you do realize that like 80% of trios become duos-solos because when someone gets knocked they leave immediately right? Not even giving a chance to the team to help them. That's solo playing. Leaving immediately because hey who cares, if i win the fight i'm ImperialHal if not my teammates are bad.
Don't get me wrong, i also leave sometimes when i should not to, but i'll gladly accept a penalty because i know it's a bad thing to do. And i'm not asking for a severe penalty. I don't think a 0 xp gained or no challenge progression after leaving is going to affect you badly. It would be a little thing but at least it'd punish some dumb players that act like they are ImperialHal or Rogue.
@BaldWraithSimp Is that a hot dropping zone? Didn't know that lol.
Anyway i'm sticking with my idea. You'll always get some bad teammates, not denying that, but you know most of players leave soon as they get knocked. It happens to me at least 7-8 games out of 10. It's unbelievable and honestly i'm getting tired of it, i just can't have fun on pubs because i'm doing 1v3 most of the times.
