Leaver penalty

(1/16) > >>

Riley Thomson:
Hello people..

I see to many teams/ships getting completely abandoned these days and that really ruins alot of fun.

I think this game needs a leaver penalty.
Very simple: if you leave a match, you can't play another match untill the match you left has ended, either by surrendering or by being victory/defeated.

This only counts for INGAME, so lobby part doesn't count in this.

Captain Smollett:
I agree with the sentiment that there's a bit too much rage quitting going on.

I proposed in another thread (there's been a couple on this already) that a tracking system be implemented so people know how prone to leaving their teammates are and can choose their allies carefully.

This should discourage people from leaving in the first place in order so as not to give themselves a bad reputation that prevents people from wanting to play with them.

Cloudrunner:
As much as I'd like to see a way to stomp rage quitters, there's many occasions in my life that could cause me to drop a game for a series of reasons beyond being a sore loser.

I feel like punishing people for dropping out of games they're getting spanked in or not having fun in is akin to the very reason Muse doesn't allow vote kick. It just sounds like a great way to turn more new people off.

However, maybe leaving TOO MANY games in rapid succession could net you a 5 minute cool down before you can join a new game? That sounds more reasonable.

Spud Nick:
I find it a personal challenge when my teammate leaves the match. Never give up never surrender!

TimTim LaBaguette:
I can understand rage quitting when you end up in a "bad" team, where no one communicates, captains don't work together and you get stomped by the enemy team. I don't rage quit, and I think it puts people in a bad mood to be losing and to see everyone leaving, thus encouraging them even more to leave. We shouldn't forget there is a Surrender button ( but if nobody communicates, I don't see how they will all agree to surrender ).

Maybe on of the reasons people ragequit is that quite often, I see tons of beginner matches, but when I play in a regular lobby, there are still some totally new people that join, and if the teams are not balanced to counter it, they end up in the losing team and it causes some ragequit.
