Please add a penalty for leaving matches!
Just had 3 guys in a row alt f4 out of my duel games...
I would say the overall number of matches where people just altF4 out is about 20%. The issue gets worse when there are multiple people on a team! Its absolutely ridiculous and yet another reason why 4v4 is currently an awful experience.
simple fix:
- penalize leavers with a 30minute "softban" i.e. cant play multiplayer for 30 minutes
this forces people to calm down before playing the next game and is enough of a punishment to discourage it in general
On other note, harassment is definitely an issue as well. Not sure if reporting these people actually does anything. Some sort of feedback i.e. "an action against a player u reported has been taken" notification would be nice so people actually realize something is happening and dont turn to the darkside themselves because of a complete lack of other consequences.
^This is pretty much what the game "smite" does and it works fairly well.

I guess penality for leaving a match isn't that easy. I can say for myself that I never leave a match, only if I have a crash and that happens from time to time (screen freezes, other error messages...).
But I can understand you very well. And yes harassment and insulting is definitely an issue. The last days I played some skirmish because of the orders and I was constantly insulted. Mostly from those have a lower prestige, can't play and thing this is a hack 'n slay game. I also thing reporting these peoples will change nothing because the support does nothing.

You are the minority in that regard. The majority of players alt f4s intentionally.Originally Posted by Nephertaris Go to original post
Now concerning random crashes:
Yes random crashes happen to you, to me, to everyone. And thats why there cant be a real full ban from the game for leaving a match!
A 30 minute timeout is very reasonable.
Everyone who crashes / disconnects so consistently that a 30 minute softban would mean they could basically not play the game online, probably shouldnt play online to begin with!
At the end of the day the large majority of players has stable connections, people who constantly disconnect ruin the game for 7 other people! And that is not okay wether it is intentional or not!

I agree but I think it should be a stackable
Tiered penalty to avoid punishing disconnects.
First match leave in 1 hour, no penalty +1 to leave tracker lasts 1 hour.
Now if you don't leave a match within the hour it falls off.
Second leave within that hour no penalty, you now have plus +2 to your tracker and the hour reset so you have to wait another full hour for the first to fall of
Third leave 5 minute ban, +3 to stacks now reseting timer again.
4th leave 15 minute ban, +4 stacks now.
5th leave 30 minute ban. +5 stacks
Stack timer is now extended to 3 hours to remove 1 stack untill stacks drop below 5 back to 4 at which point it's 1 per hour again.
6th leave, 1 hour ban, +6 stacks, 1 stack will not degrade for 3 hours.
7th leave 3 hour ban, 1 stack will not degrade for 6 hours
8th leave 6 hour ban. 1 stack will not degrade for 12 hours.
9th leave 12 hour ban. 1 stack will not degrade untill 24 hours has elapsed.
10th leave 24 hour ban. Upon completion of 24 hour ban all stacks reset to 0.

Yes it is not very nice when players leave a match. Also its totally understandable why they do it sometimes. There are still horrible connection issues, not only when a players leaves a a match that has already started.
To punish someone who has connection issues is out of question. How should we know if its connect./ or rage quit?........
There is also the most important point that you all forgot: People payed up to over a 100$/€ whatever. And you want to ban (!) them from playing the game they bought? You want to force them with possible **** team and/or hard exploiters wich is just no fun? Name me on game that you bought with a multiplayer option that punishes you if you dont want to play it? (mobas dont count) If you dont want to play a match for whatever reason (there a quit a few and depend with gamemode) anymore you have the right to just quit it. In 4vs4 it can ruins everything when 1 o. 2 players leave. But (if it was ragequit ofc) they can do so. Its not fair but reality. Its like every new game these games is just there for multiplayer with weird expectations....
If there are at some point in the game -ranked matches and you leave your team alone, even if they get a bot (better than nothing lol) it reduces the chance of win. The player who left should then be preventet from playing these rankeds if it happens a few times.
Again to ban somone from playing the game they paid for is not possible. Sad but true.
PS:: Why should everyone altF4 for leave? Just go menu and then u out and can start again quick. Why restart the whole game?

If you are planning this then you should also make sure that the connection issues, freezing windows etc. are gone. Like already sad: If someone gets a penality for leaving a match then more players will not play it anymore, including me.Originally Posted by UbiJurassic Go to original post

Again there should be no Penalty for leaving multiplayer in a full price AAA-Title. FH is not a f2p moba where bans for leaving are common. I paied the full price for this game and I have the right to choose whenever I want to play online or not anymore. When someone leaves there is a BOT as replacement. Again its better than nothing. Penalty in ranked ok but normal onlie matches? No way you can do that.
