This game gives you a penalty when leaving arcade games repeatedly. The penalty reduces your battle pass xp by 75%. Not only does it reduce the xp from games completed, but it reduces challenge xp as well. I completed a weekly challenge worth 5k, it was reduced to 1250. This is not right, not when I spent money on this battle pass and when I wasn’t even playing competitive or quickplay. WHat is arcade if not a casual experience. I should not have been punished. Even if I were punished an xp penalty on on Challenge rewards is super wrong.

Well if you leave all the time you’re screwing over your teams repeatedly, and it’s throwing basically.
Deserved.

It still effects other players ability to play the game. I don’t see why you can’t play out a game if you q for it baring emergencies or tech issues of course

Spot on, but I’m wondering if that kind of punishment will continue for a long time. The game is headed in a barrier-reduced direction, which forces players to play harder in general, but honestly, the additional cosmetics aren’t worth the pixels they’re displayed on.
Leaving games early is inconvenient for your teammates, but if they’re just ceaselessly uncooperative, it’s pretty unfair to have to just sit and endure that for eight minutes to avoid penalties.

You always get penalties for leaving. Doesn’t matter what mode.

Play your games instead of leaving. This doesn’t sound like the game’s problem, it sounds like a YOU problem. Why even queue at that point?

Sounds like the people who leave after losing 1 fight in the first 1 min of the game will… suddenly stop leaving.

I agree with you that challenge xp being reduced is BS, but leavers need to be punished is they’re leaving enough to trigger the system.
My only issue is that despite the fact that force dc’s on the servers side are still a thing they somehow don’t have the system set up to tell the difference from someone quiting to the QP screen and someone being booted without their consent all the way back to the loading screen.
And 75% is waaaaaay too steep to start it at imo. Maybe start it at 50% at most and then raise it 5% for every 5 more leaves before the game counter ends
if your team is complete braindead, why should one waste 5 min of life time to play arcade?

Oh, but it’s just super right.
Take your penalty.
Take it like a man.
Stop leaving games like an entitled child.
No? Well keep leaving them then and get penalised.
Spineless quitters should be punished for trying to avoid losses. Why are you trying to avoid losses? You lamer? Just accept them like anyone else. You aren’t exempt from losing, you entitled tosser.
No I totally agree with you. I got a game with healers that weren’t healing me. I decided to leave because I kept dying due to a mercy widow pocket and a Zen healing that widow too. Not my idea of fun. QP is casual if you get upset at someone leaving a casual mode you need to rethink your priorities. I get competitive but qp is overboard.

You don’t get this reduction of XP until you leave MANY times.
Which means you’re leaving on purpose.
…I’m ok with the reduced match xp but I don’t think it’s fair that challenge xp is also reduced…? 
…I will acknowledge that, to people that care about xp, this would be a powerful disincentive to not leave games however…?

Yeah, it sucks, but people are sweaty and they will get mad if you leave sometimes (like in this comment section lol)
Or maybe just maybe MY TEAMS ARE DOING THAT TO ME?
