Leavers... | Forums

Now I am pissed.
I am ROYALLY pissed at these leavers who quit the match mid-game because they're losing. On my side or the enemies'.
Because when they leave the game pauses, goes to sync and me and my opponent are stuck mid swing and we don't know what the hell is gonna happen after sync and who will have the advantage because of that.
I asked one of these leavers why he left, I mean, he doesn't get xp and loot because of that. And how he replied? "I don't wanna screw up my statistics."
Seriously? Stats? Who gives a damn about stats in regular matches? We don't have competetive (or ranked) mode yet, and even when we do, I'm sure it'll be separate from regular matches. So WHY would you care about stats and **** up the game for 7 other people?
It wouldn't be a problem if he left quietly and no one would notice that, but no, because of stupid p2p almost every leaver makes us wait for the sync to finish.
Now, I hope that in future Ubisoft will get rid of p2p, but until that time, can you punish leavers? Ban them from pvp for 10, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3, 6, 24? Or by reduced xp/steel gain?
I'm not talking about those who left because they got disconnected thanks to bad netcode, but those who consistently leave on their own will.

Personally, I think leavers should be punished. There should be a tier-type of system. Leave once in 24 hrs - 5 min ban, twice - 10 mins, thrice - 20, and on and on. It doesn't have to be those exact numbers, but it should be something.

Play vs. AI, then you have 4 less quitters and bad connections to worry about? You also have less of the host of other problems that usually follow online gaming (people).

Your advice is the same as "play with your fingers". I don't want to play vs ai because they're not as good as real people in terms of skill

With the matchmaking system as it sits and some of the people I've played against and with, that is not always accurate.

I understand for competitive or ranked matches. However, for freeplay as it stands right now I do not want to play with stupid people nor join a match down 800 points. Dominion matches w/ orders to kill minions and my team is at B while everyone else is taking A and C. Nope Nope and Nope.

Thankfully, UBIsoft has said the penalty is not getting the ending xp and loot as punishment enough. Until ranked comes out, deal with it. If they put it in as you want I promise you the game will LOSE subscribers just like Overwatch. Now Overwatch is a cesspool because of the esports japanese fetish cartoons.

I also thought about that and how would you seperate leavers from those who get kicked from the servers by error?

Why do you think the game will lose people? Leavers obviously care for their stats, so they're interested in playing. I play Overwatch too and I never heard of people leaving because of the punishment, I only heard about banning cheaters.
And late join is also a strange thing - in a lot of matches I played, where my teammates left, I got no late joins to the end of the match, forced to play with 2-3 bots on my side

I'd be all for a penalty system for leavers similar to what they have in Overwatch. My only concern with their system is that it doesn't distinguish between disconnects and user initiated leaving, but since it's based on your 20 most recent matches you can have a few disconnects without running into a problem.

I agree BUT with the connectivity issues I cant say to implement such a thing. I get dropped from more games than I can finish due to this error or that error.....
