With the Leaver Penalty now in place it doesn't make any lick of sense to me to give the community the option of holding onto player beacons indefinitely. Casuals is a non-issue due to zero penalty for leaving, but in Ranked with no in-game report system it's a troller's wet dream. Regardless of the rarity of occurrence having the option of holding a player hostage for whatever asinine reason randoms and duos come up with is utterly ridiculous. Sooner or later it's going to be abused.
Why isn't there a timer for how long your teammates can hold onto them? They should eventually expire the same way they do in boxes if no one picks them up. If your teammates don't respawn you after a certain amount of time and they expire you should be able to bounce freely instead of being at the mercy of other players.
Also... why are placement and rp rewards tied to the entire squad and not individuals? It's another easily exploitable/trolly feature that rewards players for dying and essentially AFKing for simply watching the survivor afterwards.
If the survivor's teammates died stupid early and said survivors continue on to top 3 - 5 then so does the rest of the squad? For what? Potentially making their jobs harder? I don't get it.
Why should the players that died thus potentially putting the survivors in a rough spot benefit from their play in a competitive format? A queued trio is one thing but a duo and solo queuer getting awarded in that regard doesn't make any sense to me. At least in the rise from Bronze to Platinum where top fiving alone is essentially child's play if you play it safe and aren't unlucky.
...Thoughts?
