is that you are instantly penalized if you leave the game manually. I have never left a game by choice, so I never been given the red warning message.
Upon leaving the game (regardless of your reason and regardless of what game-mode), you are greeted by a big sign essentially saying that you will receive an endorsement penalty alongside a time-out for leaving the game.
This is ridiculous. My options were to stay in a match where both teams were stalling on point with emotes (aka waste my time doing something I didn’t get on the game to do) or leave and play an actual game. How does that make any sense at all?

I obviously can’t speak for anyone else as I am myself and no one else, but I enjoy the incredibly rare times this happens. Just chilling with people in qp where the win doesn’t matter. It feels like it heals my jaded soul a little bit.
But seriously, report people doing legitimately bad things. If they’re habitual in it, they’ll get spanked and then do it again. After all, it is “just a video game” at the end of the day.

Ugh the stalling games suck. They’re so bad.

They certainly will not. Nobody ever reports for gameplay sabotage. Even if they do, what are the chances that they do it more than once to be banned for it.
I also recommend just going into chill/kill custom games if you’re looking to do that. Not only is it relaxing, but you get to actually speak to the other people in the lobby, regardless of team.
There is no reason to do this when not all the players in the lobby will want to/can stall for that long (because of needing to do other things irl). If their wasn’t a penalty for it, it wouldn’t bother me.
Tell me about it.

nope… you’re in a very miniscule minority with that one. That is a waste of time and nother fine example of people abusing the system the way it is.
If people are this hell-bent on NOT taking the game seriously…then ALL leaver penalties have to go.

What do you mean “nope”? I’ve clearly stated that I speak for no one else, and I never posited anything as fact. You’re just addicted to having zero real consequences for what you say on the internet.
this isnt’ about what people are saying…it’s about the leaver penalty…?? not sure how you made that jump.
Normally I support the leaver penalty, or at least I did in a previous incarnation where you had to leave 4 in 20 games to start getting actual penalties. The current system may be a little too aggressive given server instability.
Being unable to stop stall games is terrible.
That being said, I find them to be pretty rare, and I just stick them out and report everyone in the lobby participating.

but even that shouldn’t be a thing is what I’m saying…you should def. be allowed to leave a game where there’s been no progress for x number of seconds and if the system can detect that the players involved aren’t moving or engaged in combat.

There is an “infinite” match Glitch which if both teams on a Capture point map do not touch the objective. the match will run until the server decides to close the match. Which I think was roughly 45 minutes to an hour.
Hence, why every match needs a TIMER.

A match timer would make sense. And yes it’s about an hour before the server closes the match.
