If you think it’s okay to leave a game with 45 seconds left in a game you probably shouldn’t be playing at all.
I don’t care what mode you’re playing in.
If you leave immediately after the first round you should be punished.
I don’t care if your internet died or your video driver crashed.
Nothing is going to stop leavers until something is done. It is garbage play from garbage people and everyone knows it.

uh, no. increasing punishments wont do anything to solve the problem until you know what the problem is, ie : what is making people leave games ? once you know that answer, then you can create a solution that will work. increasing punishments is not the answer.
increasing punishments isnt the answer. if you leave in comp you get a -50 SR reduction and a ban right from the first one, yet people still leave. all that will do is increase the toxicity in game and increase leavers …
come up with another solution that already isnt being discussed in the other plethora of threads …
I’m leaving QP a lot, wanna know why? Because I don’t find it fun playing with a team of 5 DPSers doing nothing and not even being on the point and instead run for frags. It’s especially un-fun when the opposing team runs on a good composition so you’re getting completely flattened by everything.
It’s not fun playing a team based shooter where people aren’t playing as a team. So I leave. Funnily enough the easiest solution to stop people from leaving, is start playing as a team. Imagine that, playing as a team, in a team based shooter.
I’m not talking about competitive dude read the original post.
If you leave when the team comp is made, I don’t think it should matter. The first minute should be basically fine to leave.
I’m talking about people leaving out of spite or because they don’t care.
On the flipside I don’t think you get to complain about the matchmaker if you can’t get a party of friends together and you get stuck with 5 rando DPSers.
Problems with the internet and stuff like that is not that persons fault at all.
They did not purposefully lose connection, it just happens sometimes.
However on the other hand, if you are just leaving the match after like 2 seconds or especially if you leave in the spawn room for no reason, than yea, you should get punished.
People disagreeing with you isn’t trolling, as much as these forums think it is.
My issue with harsher punishments is you can never be certain someone left maliciously. I never leave a match of my own free will, but I’ve left 2 or 3 due to random power/internet outages over two years.
And no, I don’t think I should get some crazy penalty for those few matches, sorry.
Read the description of the flag. “…inflammatory, extraneous, upsetting”
Back to the topic…
I’m talking about MALICIOUS LEAVERS and people with GARBAGE COMPUTERS.
I don’t care if you left maliciously after some grace period. If your computer crashed because too many particles on screen for your video card then you should be punished as well.
I also don’t think 10 minutes is a crazy penalty.
You currently have to leave like 5 games in a row and the only penalty is a 75% xp penalty.
And this is where people are disagreeing with you.
I don’t play comp when my internet’s having problems. And I agree that people should be courteous and not play that mode if they’re having problems as well.
But quick play? Seriously? No. You’ll get a filler person in a few seconds and that game mode has nothing to lose anyway. There’s no SR on the line - it’s extremely casual.
So no, I don’t think a 10 minute penalty for not having a $800+ computer, or for your ISP being terrible, is fair. The QP penalties are fine as is, and comp already punishes you with -50 SR plus increasing playtime penalties, so … /shrug.
Until they can differentiate between an actual disconnect, and voluntary leaver - I do not want any further disciplinary actions being implemented for that.
