Bigger punishments for quitting early RANKED ARENA

This is getting old, constantly everyday teammates leave matches that are winnable, screwing me and others over. You have to leave several times to finally get punished, and the system NEEDS to be changed.

I suggest if you leave a game early, you are unable to join a new one until the game you left is over. An alternative is a 5 minute matchmaking ban every time you leave a game early, this will help stop people from quitting since they would know they wouldn’t be able to play for 5 minutes if they quit

EDIT: Use my suggestion for only ranked arena matches, social can stay the way it is

They do that in MCC

would be great, now all the quitters go easy and quit a lot of games and go to another one

I can stand behind this and agree with ya, but TWICE yesterday I was booted from Big team super fiesta and lost my boosts that I had applied. I think it’ll be hard to differentiate between being kicked for no reason and leaving.

Too many reasons why a harsh quit ban won’t work. Most of the time getting kicked by the server counts as a DNF and being afk for a insanely small time gets you kicked and counts as a dnf (I once went to answer the door to receive a package and got kicked before I could literally run back). There are also games that just aren’t worth staying in. I’ve been in an 8v2 btb or 4v1 slayer where it would have better if the outnumbered people would have just quit and saved everyone some time.

I despise quitters, but I think the ban is a good balance between giving you a few “quits” to account for lagging out or getting to the door for a delivery and people who systematically quit whenever they have a negative KD. You just have to be vigilant and always report those who quit for quitting and the people who systematically quit will have such a bad rep they can only play with others who have that low of a rep.

I don’t stick around ranked matches that are out of reach. I’m never first to quit though, only if someone has quit before me on my team.

I get no enjoyment having the full opposing team still playing like champs in a 4v2, going after power ups and everything.

Then you must find no enjoyment in ranking up as quitting has far serious impact in your rankings than just loosing.

As long as you don’t quit first, you only lose the minimum csr that you would for a loss.

There is virtually no penalty as it does not go toward any sort of quit ban either. 100% going to lose the match anyway.

To be clear, this is maybe once in a blue moon. Im not a habitual quitter. Would never intentionally quit social as I do not want a ban.

If people quit after someone else quits that’s different, and should not be punishable. As for the being kicked after a short time afk, that is a separate issue they can fix.

I understand that, however this way of doing it allows quitters to abuse the system. Me and friends have reported people constantly, not a single report was acted upon.

I understand disconnecting is a problem, but if you would just have to wait until that game is over until finding another, it’s not a big deal.

Just is my suggestion for ranked arena, and not social

In that case we can just have harsh punishments in only ranked arena :slight_smile:

I don’t know how you’d know not a single report was acted on. Have you never seen someone’s profile with a warning that says “Warning: low reputation”?

When a report I make against someone is acted on, I get a message from Xbox live saying they did (they don’t tell me who though), I never get any now.

I still love those WZ matches today where it’s 4v12 for 5 games in a row.

Trust me, I’m with you, but like other have said, some time power goes out or internet is laggy and you disconnect. I don’t wanna be banned for that

By the time internet or power comes back on the ban would be over, wouldn’t make much difference to those who don’t purposefully quit

I have that problem, whenever someone calls my house phone my internet disconnects… I’ve bene banned and deranked in Arena because of it a few times. Once it happened 3 times back to back in ranked, went from Diamond 6 to 4… I also got banned of course. Now I usually only play at night to hopefully avoid that issue.

I never heard of that kind of problem happening, interesting

I don’t remember when (maybe 2 or 3 yrs ago) I posted suggestions here regarding how to deal with early quitters.
Back then most of the feedback was revolving around the fear of losing even more players overall and having another significant reduction in the overall playlist population.

However, I think the opposite case could be made as well.
With all the bad apples out of the basket all those driven away might come back because playing H5 would be much more enjoyable.

I am not even sure if we need the ‘ban hammer’. If the matchmaking system would be smart enough to match all those early quitters together in the same fireteam so that they get a taste how that feels like they may change their mind and even learn a thing or two.

Personally, I think I would love to get matched AGAINST a full time of notorious early quitters. That sounds like a very quick match and easy XP.

I agree! Quitting early is something that needs to be stopped across all Halo games. There’s no excuse for quitting the game early except for disconnecting from the game due to internet connection.
