Players Backing Out

I’m so sick of the constant rage quit, people backing out the last second, all you will ever see in this game is people quitting out. It’s makes this game so annoying to play and overall EXTREMELY HARD to put up with. Why isn’t there penalties for quitting out ALL the time? Why can’t there be like a 30 min timeout from searching or whatever. There will be times you will be searching in Lobby for OVER AN HOUR because people back out from seeing the other team. Or you get a full team matched up and at puck drop there’s 2 Human players. Like what is that? What happened to this game? There has to be some fix in the future for NHL games. Because this makes me not want to buy this game anymore. And I’ve been playing since NHL ‘14. I love this game but jeez man, COME ON!!

    I wouldn't mind this. It's one thing to quit when there's a lot more humans on one side or when one team has a human goalie. Quitting because you don't like the other teams level or builds shouldn't be the reason though.

    Honestly I think this game could use a smite style matchmaking. Each player could preset their preferred role and secondary role(ex C then RD). You won’t always get those roles but it’ll try to match on it. Match a team of 5 and you can ask another player to switch roles. Pick your build, then blind drop against another team. No lobby screen where you see the other team at all. Quitting is a 30min penalty. At the end of the first period a surrender vote can be started.

    I absolutely understand this is frustrating. However, if we add a penalty where they can't match again for 30 minutes, that just means it's going to be harder to find a match. Teams back out for various reasons. I really don't have a problem with it since in most cases, it was a very lopsided game with more humans on one side than the other. Hopefully, we'll see matchmaking improve in the future so that teams are less likely to back out.
