Fake Disconnects in CC

[Doozer]

Hello,

This is not for ranked. I been playing quite a bit of casual CC and I’ve noticed that lots of players are crippling their teams by running in and as soon as engagement starts someone will disconnect.

I had a Sage on my team who did it twice in a row and laughed about it. Obviously I was not happy and of course there is no consequence for doing it because in ranked when you cripple your team you lose rank. In casual well nothing happens and you just go to next game and it’s unfortunate you see the one who crippled your team back there too. Only to engage again and for them to fake disconnect. It just makes PvP not fun.

Do people have nothing better to do with their downtime than join cc matches and fake disconnect and laugh about it? It’s honestly ridiculous and I hope the devs do something about this. This is happening way too much now.

Isn't there a 30 minute penalty for leaving a duty early? Sure it would still be annoying to encounter them every 30 minutes.

Leaving and disconnecting via pvp are different. Leaving a duty yes will give you a 30 minute penalty. However in pvp disconnecting still keeps them in the party so technically even though they aren't actively participating they are still in the match itself which does not result in a penalty once the match is over. So they can disconnect as many times as they want to troll other players and nothing happens to them. This is casual CC though. In ranked even if you disconnect in the match and your team loses you also lose rank as well.

Ah I see, I'm a bit sleep-deprived so I just assumed disconnect meant leaving. My bad.

If you catch them doing it multiple times, I'd say it's still worth reporting. Would probably fall under "Aiding the enemy / Uncooperative behavior / Lethargic behavior" and they'll be able to see if the player makes a pattern of it. Not much else that can be done, unfortunately.
