People who quit matches before the end should get sanctioned, somehow.
Hour ban for a first offence (because let's face it, sometimes you actually need to quit for a legit reason), 48 hour ban if you do it again within a certain period of time (two hours, maybe?), and then a month if you earn a second 48 hour ban within a certainly period of time.
Possibly lesser bans if you quit within the first minute of play, because again, sometimes it rolls into the next round when you're not paying attention.
@J_TrianglerThat's a really bad idea overall. This game (like all games, duh) is meant for you to have fun in your freetime, it's not your job to stay on any server if you haven't any fun.
That's also the reason why I leave games sometimes. When there's no way to win and even trying to dispatch the weakest target of the enemy in some sneaky way comes with a great hassle, it's simply not rewarding or fun in any way. If this were you, why yould you want to be forced to stay in such a game? It's ok to leave games, you don't owe other players anything except the very base consent of not playing dirty like using cheats or glitches.
Also sometimes when I join late, I just sit it out on some corner of the map. So there's your punishment mechanic. It can get easily circumvented and would be even more team damaging if everyone feels the need to do it this way than if you let players leave and open a new slot. Another way to circumvent this would also if players just rush into the red zone to die or click on respawn so the not so fun match is over faster.

@TRlALON It's even less fun if you start a game in good faith, and then half of your team disappears because the other team was getting the upper hand. There are ways around bans like that, like those you mentioned, but they take effort, so people aren't going to bother with them.
You get timed out if you're stationary for too long, and you'd need to be a particularly spiteful person to sit there, nudging your controller every ten or fifteen seconds, just so that you don't time out. Most normal people will play on half heartedly, and then the other players at least feel like they're still getting to play. The attitude that if you're not winning, it isn't fun, is just an excuse for poor behaviour. We've all been told this a hundred times before, but winning isn't everything, at least in recreation. If you're a pro-gamer (or pro-athlete), and you need to win for your job, that's different, but if you're playing for recreation, winning is not important. Learning to enjoy the game is, and if you can only enjoy it by winning, you're not really enjoying it anyway.

If you told me I couldn't quit because an entire team of hacking trolls was emoting on my children teammates then I wouldn't play your game at all. That's why in Battlefront it's a bad idea to punish quitting. Sometimes I quit Supremacy just because it takes too long and I have a time constraint.

I only quit out if I’m getting 4v1ed and only have one teammate that’s crap.Also if they emote when I die or if they really use try hard strats even though they’re ahead by twenty points.
A lot of times my game crashes due to bad internet so it’s likely others do that and you see it as “rage quitting”
