Once the key starts, the tool appears below the timer, so if the timer is nowhere near elapsed and someone leaves first, it automatically tags them and puts them in a bin for potential bans. The ban wave may have slowed the tide of mythic + leavers but it does not seem to be effective anymore.
I think a lot of people misunderstood who the ban wave hit.
I think it was just like a group of people who would get into groups, and leave as soon as the key started for a lol, then immediately jump into another one.
And they would just do that for fun over and over.
I don’t think the ban hit or will ever hit people who are just kind of unhinged and bail over tiny mistakes or rage log on the first mistake.

Why would Blizzard need a new tool for it when they’ve clearly already got one?

oh dear, 2-3 people sucked so hard but still they thought that they could take the good player as a hostage and force that person to be their biaatch.
omg how dare he/she…

one wipe and a person leaves isn’t the same thing as you just mentioned. Human beings make mistakes, people die even in the mdi, this is not about holding someone from leaving, pepople can still leave but if its a habit of leaving keys why should the people pushing those keys be affected. Your post is very isolated vs the real issue.

Why do you want to ban people? Why do you want to censor?
The numbers are dwindling already, and with this new ban culture, soon, you will find yourself in a single player game.

“I don’t think the ban hit or will ever hit people who are just kind of unhinged and bail over tiny mistakes or rage log on the first mistake.”
- Only those deciding who were punished could actually tell you if this is true or not, but I would not bank on this philosophy, chances are Season 2 will effectively chase people who left keys in Season 1 and just compound their bans and so on. Its all data, and you cannot ignore that.
Idk what this was suppose to be but to the rest of it I say…
Yea, maybe 
Dang we just had this thread.
Yeah, those should really be the only people affected. Leaving because a key is going nowhere is fine.

why would you want to promote people who leave at will for something 4 other people were trying their best for? Do you not value other people’s time? Are you really that selfish?
As a rule, I don’t trust anyone claiming to be selfless.
You are not there to help me. I didn’t ask for your help. We’re there for a shared goal because that’s what the game funnels you into.
If your effort pressures me to carry you, or you to carry me, why should anyone be offended that one or the other leaves?

Because you can’t hold people hostage if key is going badly.

Bro, the story told me is a well-known story empirically. And usually, the good player cannot stand the others’ stupid moves anymore and leaves.
If you claim that this happens a lot after one wipe, show me the statistics. Statistics never lie.
And how come am I the selfish one, that’s a mystery to me. You want the ban, not me. Looks like it is the opposite.

I don’t think this occurs enough to justify its implementation
I’d like to see this, just for the lulz.
People who leave constantly will probably be avoided, even if they have a good score.
Stories are not empirical, data is. A story of anecdotal, and even though you have many such stories, they are not data.
And I can point to many anecdotal and personal experiences where the person who leaves is not the ‘good player’, but usually a self-entitled individual who was more a detriment to the party than a contributor. Neither of us more right than the other.
I was in a 4 Necrotic wake on my dps alt, made it to the bridge, we wiped because a fear was not interrupted and the Paladin healer left, there was 23 minutes left on the clock. I do not need stats to establish my point, it happened to me. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Human error will happen, but who are you to judge and steal time from other players? Why are you more important than the rest of the group? Its that simple, as long as people only think of themselves the pug situation will worsen.
You are right about that, so show me the data.
I’m not the one who claimed to have it, you had initially by claiming to be ‘empirically’ right.
I am pointing all we have is anecdotes, no data to go off of, as who is the greater cause of issues within a group. I don’t know how we could even begin to quantify such a thing.
Do you know the meaning of empirically?
“by means of observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic”
I already said what you said with one word.
