Leaver Games on Ranks PVP

So Devs,

I don't know how often this occurs, but I just had two people leave the match BEFORE gates were open for a good 30 seconds. With only me and the WHM left, it counted as an automatic loss and docked me ranked points.

Maybe there should be a Body Count Check before gates open so the victims of this aren't penalized, but the leavers are heavily punished.

That'd actually make sense, of course they won't implement that.

canìt expect them to do much since they don't give that much eff to their pvp mode

Can't really do this because otherwise people will try to game the system if they feel that their match is not balanced in their favor.

Well you can give them a penalty. Like the way LoV does it. A full 24 hour penalty.

Just report them i have reported some players just forfeiting the game on purpose standing still spamming nice job! whole match.

This is why I suggested the points system for ranking -- for issues like this - and others.

The person leaving just needs a harsher penalty beyond the 30 min lockout, there always needs to be some sort of match cancellation if a team is a man down or at the very least an instant loss instead of having someone waste 8 mins of their life.

I know there were very, very rare times last season where a match would actually not count if someone left before it finished loading(?) not sure what the condition was that triggered it, I've only seen it happen twice.

You could coordinate with someone else and game the system. Let's say your partner is on the enemy team, you can just have them leave the match. If they're on your team with you, and the enemy team looks strong, you can just have them drop for you so you won't lose any points.

That'd be a rare example though, and if there's a x many of hours lockout or x person loses a certain amount of points (Taking overwatch for example I think leaving before the game starts nets a loss of 50 points) then that'd rarely happen.

Nothin' to see here folks.

At the very least it doesn't seem to be as widespread as it could be. So far I've noticed only the usual suspects, but I'm gonna delete some of what I said earlier in the thread so no one gets funny ideas.

I suggest you do the same.

The whole point is to heavily punish the leaver. If they are locked out, lose a massive amount of points, what have you, you're creating a set of consequence that make the loses to great for folks to want to game around the system.

There have been instances in old Feast games where a match was canceled before gates open because there were not enough players on either sides of the team. Folks that drop out of a match should be heavily punished, because the losing side with the leavers are punished. They lose a game and rank points before the match even started

Also due to the fact that you have to do solo matches across the data center, at lower levels it would be hard to cheat the system since the player base is so large. It isn't until you get to the higher tiers do you see reoccurring player names, and even then, you are chancing everything on timing and luck to be in the same match as another.
