I'm talking strictly about ranked games. If you are a serial quitter in ranked then you should eventually be banned from it for good or for at least a month. To many people quit in ranked and never come back. Whether its the first round or right when overtime starts, people still end up quitting matches and never coming back. I understand that peoples internet goes out and **** happens but if your internet is routinely going out and you are getting kicked then maybe you just shouldn't play ranked. I could care less if people leave in unranked or in Quickmatch but when I am getting sweaty in siege against other sweatlords then I'm going to want all my teammates available.

I have a group I play with. I know playing with friends is the best way to avoid this problem, but sometimes we just don't have a 5 stack and the looking for group feature takes to long.

Having players quit mid-Ranked match is extremely frustrating and makes the job harder for those who are left. I'm not sure if incurring harsher penalties for consistent Ranked leavers is something the team is aware the community wants, but I can try to check.

Along with feedback to players for any action taken against players reported?
Correct! We had temporarily removed the escalations of Abandonment Sanctions due to the huge increase in DDoS attacks. With Y5S1, we are turning those back on for Ranked and Unranked. This means that the more someone abandons a match, the longer the penalty will be.
