I am playing with my team, didnt realised one of them have gold knockdown left the game boom penalty. Why do we even have penalty when we have a premade group ? We shouldnt have any penalty when we join the game with 3 ppl! I understand this penalty when we join random teammates but with a premade this is absurd.
Also can we have a confirmation box about leaving? "Are you sure you want to leave? You will get xx time penalty -76 points?"

Penalty should be given based on the situation of the abandonment.
Players should be allowed to abandon,
when team mates solo launch to some random places and not helping,
when team mates play like a * * passive bots and not helping during a fight

Because the developers listened to the community that wanted a penalty put into place, and didn't put any thought behind the various circumstances as to why people leave early. Sometimes it's an accident like in your case, sometimes it's because you don't want to sit around for 90 seconds while your teammate clearly won't recover your banner, sometimes your teammates can't recover your banner, etc. etc. etc.

Actually if it was with random teammates i wouldnt come here and post this even it was an accident. But having my own squad and this happening just caused me to rage! I mean we joined the game together! Its not randoms, i shouldnt be punished at all!

That's the thing, no thought was put into how a penalty should've been put into place, just that there should be a penalty. Almost all the posts I saw about why there should be a leaver penalty put into place said absolutely nothing about legitimate circumstances where people wouldn't want to wait around the full 90 seconds for their banner to expire. Every post was structured exactly the same:
"I'm TIRED of people LEAVING EARLY without giving ME a CHANCE to recover their banner before I HAD A CHANCE to SAVE the GAME FOR ALL OF US, MY enjoyment is RUINED! Here's how we should PUNISH people who LEAVE EARLY: ... ... ... ..."
If anyone brought up things like, "What if your teammates clearly won't recover you, what if your teammates left you alone to 1v3 because they're looting bodies rather than helping you, what if you go down in ring and they can't get to you because they don't have health, what if your teammates quite literally don't know how to play, what if your teammate is AFK, etc. etc. etc." The OP's response would typically be, "Well you sound like the kind of person who leaves early, you're exactly the person we should be punishing, and you personally are affecting my enjoyment of the game which proves there should be a penalty! So HA!"
I remember one person's post, their "solution" for a penalty was to quite literally delete all of the "offenders" stats. Kills, deaths, matches won, etc. etc. etc. All of them deleted because the person left early. After I read that, my first thought was, "Wow. So you CAN throw tantrums on the internet without actually trying to."

Yep this happened 3 times to me in ranked. All pre made all code leaf disconnects. Up to fifteen minute penalty. Stopped playing ranked because of it. Played 1 game of ranked tonight with friends they left switched to regular randoms. Legend select screen shows no ranked symbols. I left after legend launch since our jump master couldn’t ping where he was going. my “teammates” had a combined 20 kills no mics.
I left the game and there is no opt or warning I just have the ban. Call me toxic if you want to idc, but there was no ranked symbol in the right hand corner and now I have a 20 minute ban.
So here I am sitting on a ban for anon ranked game and I have a suggestion for the developers. Either fix your fu/;omg matchmaking and actually have similar squads or get rid of the penalty.
I am not great but I don’t suck either. In any case if someone quits on me I don’t rage about it. Here is a suggestion keep your penalty in ranked leave casual alone.
since this is the direction you are going I am playing with my friends and will skip randoms altogether.
Modern Warfare can have my additional free time and my money.
sorry for the rant but this game had great potential and it seems the devs want to fail at every turn. Too bad.

And exactly how did you think this system would work in practice? How can the punishment system recognize who deserves to get punishes based on these, subjective criteria?
So many people on this forum dont realize there is very few "correct" ways to play this game, yet they are so arrogant they always think they are doing the "right" thing while their teammate always doing "wrong".
We cant have a rule system based on subjective criteria. Either accept that you stay to your banner has timed out or your squad is eliminated before you can leave, OR they have to remove the leave penalty entirely, making playing ranked with random a wild west of leavers.

Yeah that's the thing. There shouldn't be a penalty in place due to the various circumstances behind why someone leaves games, and due to the fact that it's indiscriminate, obtuse, and overall not well implemented. There was literally no thought put into the penalty aside from, "If you leave early, you're gettin' a penalty!" Subjectivity is the basis of all ruling systems, and it is, quite literally why a penalty system was implemented in the first place.
