Leaver penalty is 15 minutes? | Forums

[Rhyza.]

Seriously? I rarely leave matches, unless I'm kicked for whatever connection issue, but the last one pushed all the wrong buttons. 4v4 Dom, a bot on our side, another player running in circles at spawn, vs two Warmongers, a HL, and Cent spamming my fellow Kensei and I to death. And it's only the first three minutes of the match. So I leave.

Look, I get a leaver penalty, especially if it's repeated often, but fifteen minutes right out the gate for a bad match? Next time I'll join the fella at spawn and see who can run the most circles.

Ehm... you may now full well 15 minutes is the leaver penalty, it is a fairly available information. Why are you so surprised?

You can avoid the penalty by closing the game instead of opening the menu and selecting quit. Closing the game altogether tricks it into thinking it was a disconnect. Just gotta go through the loading screen again.

Correct, however you can’t ‘say that’ else it becomes an unjust penalty issued by Ubisoft given to you because they personally (in most cases) gave you that team. By quitting out they can penalize you for not embracing the people you are supposed to play with to the fullest of your abilities. By cutting link Ubisoft washes their hands of the situation that was thrust upon you claiming it a connection error, not a matching blunder. #justsayin

i wasn't saying the penalty is justified, per se, but just offered a solution for those who get unplayable matches and wanna avoid the penalty.

I agreed with the penalty back when a rage quit would close the game for every player. Now however, i think 5, maybe 10 minutes would suffice.

Force the quitter to take a breather and give them a chance to calm down. 5 minutes. Not a big deal. 15 minutes though and plenty of players stop playing for the rest of the day lol.
