Leavers
Dear, Bungie,
I'm glad you didn't see fit to punish leavers -- dumb -blam!-ing decision that was. Exotics, range-finding-shot-package-shotguns, and other shenanigans aside -- [b][i][u]leavers[/u][/i][/b] are my number one complaint for two reasons.
1. Joining late for guaranteed losses is not fun. Especially when the point deficit is such that a win is beyond recoverable.
2. Having a game go from 6v6 to 2v6 ruins the entire experience.
"B-but dey not gon git da phat lootxz at da enn'." This would be a convincing excuse to not punish players if RNGesus didn't often hand out nothing and/or scrap.
Now I'm an understanding person -- sometimes things happen and for whatever reason a player needs to gtfo the game; but, I'm betting the number of leavers I've seen haven't left due to some unforeseeable happenstance. They're rage-quitters that immediately drop when they encounter the slightest bit of an actual challenge. To that end, I propose soft bans on queuing for further crucible matches, with ascending lockout-timers based on the frequency a player is leaving their games. Something along the lines of 2min lockout for pvp queue after the first offense, 4 minutes the second time, 8 minutes the third, 8 minutes the fourth (final warning), and 16 minutes for all further offenses. The stacking-lockout debuff could decay over the period of 1 hour (that hour being reset upon further infractions). For those of you thinking "then they'll just idle! That's no better!" remember: there's a report function for a reason; as well as afk managers.
This idea isn't new and many other titles have shown its effectiveness.

4 games straight have been ruined by leavers. I refuse to let this thread die. There's no way I'm the only player sick and tired of joining games late for irreversible losses. There's no way I'm the only player fed up with rage-quitting children that leave the match at the first hint of a challenge.

12 RepliesAre you kidding me you should be happy to join late in a game, thats free experience and drop roll at the end.

1 ReplyTry jumping into a skirmish match with dumb asses who think it's rumble and pretty sure you will be jumping out but have also jumped into losing teams with a big deficit and won it. :) also lag equals bye bye! :)

1 ReplyI hate it aswell, but I also do it. Heres the reason: Why shall I waste my time running around with people with no connection or lagswitching assholes who think they ate so awesome at PvP, but for one reason, it's impossible to hit em! They are all over the place, pounding their face with a machine Gun just to get shot in the back by the same guy who just was in front of me. Thats my reason, I don't care about the loot, I just want to play, but all the fun goes away when it all depends on who can take the most benefit from the lag.

Edited by ManiacalMaestro: 3/25/2015 9:31:29 PMBump. Gonna keep bumping with reports of leavers ruining my experience. Just now: join for last 1-2 minutes, 1 kill, 2 deaths match over. Nearly half the original players of the team I joined had left. Match immediately after: half my team quit once they finished feeding the ever living hell out of the enemy. It was all I could do to just stay back and defend our one point.

Bump. I believe this could get the communities support.
