Match Quitters need to Stop, No-Contest Result please
When people leave mid-match, the match gets cancelled. No win or loss to either side and just return to orbit with a No-Contest result with a temp trials ban on the offender.
Harsher impacts on repeat offenders and people who leave in winning matches.
Or for better nuance, people who leave mid-match later in a game do NOT cancel the match, but if the winning team then loses, the loss is not counted or considered a Mercy while the opposite team still gets their win.
2/3 matches I've had at the start of today had people leaving. Once my side, once enemy side. It's not fun, it's not competitive, it ruins flawless runs, it needs to end.
Possible solution:
"Negative round penalties"
-Trials games max out at 5 possible rounds [u]lost[/u].
- qutting is a loss, but you can quit after losing 1 round.
- For every lost round [u]unrealized[/u] from a quit, you become "poisoned" with lost rounds PRE GAME, and cannot launch freelance. You have to get a squad to even play.
-For example, you quit a game after losing 1 round like a little rage quitty aHole. Well you start your next game with your team down by 3 rounds TO START.
- Either you overcome the serious point deficit, ot endure the loss you ran away from ,(that maybe you could have won if you stayed).
-If you never play Trials for the rest of that week, it carries over for 2 resets.
I feel like this is a strong deterrent to quitting.
