Totally for deserter penalties, but not if it’s going to f**k people over for crashes/poor matchmaking. I agree it’s annoying to deal with a 3v4 for 10-15 minutes. Buts it’s also even worse to get a 30 minute+ ban because of factors out of your control. Basically I want them to crack down but make sure they do it properly, we don’t need people getting banned during a beta because their game crashes randomly. That’s on the devs.

Appreciate you bringing this up. The team feels the Deserter penalty is a very important feature and is working to ensure it gets released as soon as possible. In terms of differentiating between someone intentionally disconnecting and crashing, the system will have thresholds it allows for players to rejoin after dropping. This should ensure no unjust penalties are handed out.

Certainly you guys could put a metric in place where the system can tell the difference between a player manually clicking "Quit" and the game crashing

Of course! We already have one in place, it's how you reconnect to matches!
