They used to have this in Call of Duty games when a user left matches early game or after they died (e.g. in a Search & Destroy match leaving your team disadvantaged), it'd place a probation timer before they were allowed to play again. It did sort of work and deterred most players from leaving early game.

I'm not saying that everyone has to stay the whole match, but for those players who literally leave during selecting character or during the first few seconds because they didnt get to land where they wanted or whatever... and then you have to decide whether to continue as a team of 2 or leave as well leaving ur other teammate by themself which is sad. It's truly frustrating.

I'm honestly on the fence for players who die but can be respawned, because it feels like though it'll be good for the team, but bad if the team barely tries to get ur banner so then it becomes more of a burden for the player who died. I'm thinking maybe allow leaving the match without consequence when their banner timer runs out.

No please, never do this unless you make a ranked mode.

As noted by MANY players, a disconnection or a crash that isn't in the ability of the player will cause a 5-minute ban which is very unfair.

If someone is pissed that he cannot press leave match and press "Ready" because a teammate left then it shouldn't affect the entire community.

Any implementation will take these (and other) issues into account. We would never do something so simple as “penalty for any disconnect”.

They have a 15min one in Rocket League which is definitely a deterrent. 5min would be nice.

What I don't like is how you don't receive XP when you quit the game, WHEN EVEN YOUR BANNER HAS TIMED OUT. Really don't f**king get that one.

Edit. I don't leave when I'm downed, I will wait until squad dies or my banner times out (if not playing with friends). I don't want to spend 10min watching camping randoms to save all my xp being stripped...

This should be remedied in the next major update.

Do we have an estimated date for that?

I do, but I’m completely not at liberty to say what it is. Unfortunately, even estimated dates tend to get taken as a promise, and if they slip people get angry. I leave to the folks here that make the official announcements.
