Imagine sucking it up, sticking with it, and turning the game around and winning. See, what happens it one little crybaby gets a map that he or she can't handle because, instead of learning to adapt to any situation, they'd rather quit to find a 'cozy' map they are familiar with that fits their playstyle. That leaves a 5V6 game you get thrown into. But... It's not so far gone that your team can't catch up and still win. But... That person sees the other team has a tiny 'head start' so that person, instead of sucking it up and sticking with it, and turning the game around quits. Now.. They throw the next guy in to fill that space. Now the lead has grown, he or she sees that and quits. Now.. They throw the next guy in to fill that space. Now the lead has grown even more, so he or she sees that and quits. Now.. They throw the next guy in to fill that space. Now the lead has grown even more, so he or she sees that and quits. This causes a chain reaction where the 5 original guys are doomed because of that one crybaby, who couldn't adapt to a map that wasn't their favorite. The first crybaby is going to leave, he/she will get a time out, as he/she deserves. But... The next guy gets thrown into a game that is still winnable... but doesn't play because the other team has a lead caused by the first crybaby. Every crybaby that leaves makes it worse for the next guy, and the next guy, and the next guy. Look, getting thrown into a game that has already started sucks, no doubt. But... Leaving causes a ripple effect So it's your choice, Leave the game and take your time out Or suck it up and stick it out. Personally I think instead of quit penalties you divide players into two pools. Those who consistently quit, and those who consistently finish games. Since quitters feel quitting in 'casual' is no big deal, let them play each other. Those who understand that their actions affect others and don't quit, will be matched up with others with similar values. No more quitter penalties! Everybody wins

And then someone took your spot after you left and didn't throw a tantrum in the forums. Imagine the sheer lunacy of that

Agree with you. We play to have fun. There nothing really fair about pvp. The supers, weapons , nothing is balanced. Why temp ban.. makes no sense to me

If you're going to leave games, why bother queueing? Go watch your favourite d2 streamer play the game instead!

Imagine staying in that game and being the only one with a +kd. Imagine staying in that game and helping your team being competitive. Imagine staying in that game and actually winning it. Imagine knowing you get put in timeout for quitting and you quit anyway. Hmmm

You were only put into a game in progress because someone quit, doll.

Imagine quitting a game where you could help win and then complaining.

Are you penalized somehow for finishing a game in progress? No. So stop being a chicken -blam!- and finish it.
