My kids get home from day care in 1 hour. I play my first game, one teammate flies solo across the map me and the other teammate get downed quick. So instead of waiting for time to run out, and knowing the one other * doesn't have a chance of making it even if he does nothing but run, I leave the game to maximize my hour of play time.
BUT I GET A 45 MINUTE ABANDON PENALTY!!!????
WT in the actual F???? Screw this game. I don't need this kind of negativity in my life.

You left clearly after being warned you would be penalised for doing so.
Don't play ranked if you can't wait until your team loses or your respawn banner can't be saved.
There is a warning on prompt for leaving early and getting a ban. It won't be there if it's okay to leave.

It really is as simple as this.

The warning says nothing about a ban. It also says "may be penalized". Are there any instances where players are not penalized? The players in my game had to abandon me and expressed so over comms. I dont know what criteria the game uses to base the penalty on. I hoped it was based on how much time you've spent dead in the game. I had spent several minutes dead and was about to spend a few more. So I went ahead and quit hoping not to be penalized at all. It would be nice if the game would tell you what the penalty is rather than saying "may be penalized". It would also help if, in game when you are killed, you could prompt the rest of the players in the squad to release you from the game. Like an "Vote to abandon me button" or "Release me if you're abandoning me please" button. And if the remaining players are also OK with you leaving they can vote yes, allowing you to leave the game without being penalized or upsetting the remaining squad members.

Pretty nit picky of you, above.

nit picky or not, it's a fact. They need to be more specific and explain "exactly" what will happen, not what "may" happen. They can't expect everyone playing to read random posts on forums. I've never seen the prompt so I don't know exactly what it says the 1st or 2nd time.

"Vote to abandon me button"
This would not work...90% of the player base would laugh and continue to laugh until they die themselves...lol
