It's almost as if the people who wanted an abandonment penalty conveniently forgot that there's multiple reasons why someone might want to leave a game early. Where are all the posts about why the abandonment penalty is good? Before the penalty was in place, constantly maybe once or twice a week there'd be a post about wanting to punish people for leaving the game early. Now it's nothing but peoples experiences about how they've been punished unfairly due to circumstances beyond their control.
Save for that one dude who openly admitted they racked up a 45(?) minute penalty and was complaining about it. Penalty seems to be working for that person, and that person only.

I NEVER wanted a penalty lol because I know there are so many scenarios where leaving early is acceptable. But you have to do something about ppl who rage quit. Idk why they don’t just penalize their rp points instead of a time banner.

i joined a rank match and got no teammates and then got a 10 min penalty cause i didn't want to run solo, after i peaced out of the match (before the drop). That is straight *. If your shitbox server can't even give me a team to run with I should be able to drop out without a penalty. * like this pisses me off.

Like I said, it was poorly implemented. They didn't take the time to consider all the angles and it shows

I'm all for penalty in points, double point loss would be good. But the time punishment just makes players quit and close the game to play something else.
Very poor idea!

I agree with having a leaver penalty, but time-gates are definitely not the way to go about it.
Wasting a players time isn't a penalty as they can easily go and play other games while they wait for the timer to tick down. Doubling the amount of points lost or even downgrading a players rank is a much more effective penalty than "Lol, can't play for an hour". This would also give players stuck in an abusive situation the choice to either take the point L and que up for a new match or tough it out for the rest of the game. (Personally i just mute people if it's gotten to that point though, would rather try to earn some points than none/lose".
In the case of loading into a match solo, there should be 0 penalty if you dip out in the dropship. To punish people not wanting to be forced to go through an entire ranked match solo is ridiculous.
In the case of loading in with 2 members, there should be an option to vote to quit. If both players say yes, they forfeit the match with no point loss.
