Well, with the state of BTB it could also be the game didn’t load him in. That too counts as a ‘quit’, even though you have no control over it.

Since a few days, 2 of 3 BTB is already kicking me out before it loads the map. Its just pure luck when i can play 1 match of BTB. I stopped searching BTB match. Waiting until they fixed the problem with BTB

So it’s 343i’s fault you quit the match and ruined it for at least 15 other people? ( up to 32 dependent if you ruined it for the other team ).

one person leaving a 16v16 isn’t going to ruin a match for everybody
I’ve seen plenty of complaints that state other wise…
of course, it’s not nearly as problematic as if it were a 4 vs 4 match. Where the person leaving would be significantly more impactful towards the enjoyment of the game for his teammates.
Automated system my guy, it’s not like 343i is out for your head or something, nor is it likely they’d go through the effort of turning it off for one day.
343i said “Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal!”

I did not quit.

I did not quit any game. Unless this is sarcasm.
LoL - great post.
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?
What’s Christmas got to do with it? And if you didn’t quit, mind telling us the context of your ban?

what difference does it make if it isn’t ranked? Why is BTB being treated that way at all?
but why are people being banned at all for leaving non ranked matches?
Likely because of the domino effect. One person leaving isn’t that big of an issue, but if anyone can just up and leave whenever they want with 0 penalty, then suddenly you have entire groups dropping out of games to be replaced with bots. Bots, while an ok substitute for a player to even the numbers game, do not function like real players. Turn them up too high and they become walking aim bots, turn them down too low and they’re basically cannon fodder for easier kills on the enemies side. Thus creating an incentive for the enemy to actively avoid the real players to farm the bots until replacement players take their place (which can sometimes never happen.)
Though I do believe they need to be a bit more lenient with the non-ranked bans. One free pass, the second leave is penalized with a short cool down before you can requeue, the third time increases the time, the fourth further increases the ban, the fifth is a lockout ban.
Sad to say but a lot of the players are much like children, you can not leave them unattended for a moment without problems surfacing. However, 343 can not sit there and monitor hundreds of thousands of players at all times.
It doesn’t matter if it’s ranked. You’ll be excused a few times…but banned if you’ve left too many. It’s a team game where 2 teams go at it. 2 full teams are needed. A DC is very unfortunate, but to pretend that the match is unaffected by 1 team not being full Is absurd. It doesn’t matter if it’s ranked or not.
People make threads complaining about stuff and sometimes you find out they basically shot themselves in the foot. I just replied to another person earlier complaining about sbmm and why they get hard matches…only to realize the person had 35 DNF games and quit out of a bunch of matches where they’d probably have a bad kd stat and MM would have started to adjust itself afterwards.
If you’re banned, it’s because you left a few matches already. Not just 1. The severity of the ban (amount of time banned) will be higher the more times you’ve been banned for DNF.
You didn’t even want to play the game in the first place since you quit so much lmao

What does it being XMAS have anything to do with it? Do you feel entitled little one?
They would abn you whether or not it was christmas, you still left the match. It may not have been a big deal for a 16v16 until 4 others on your team leave because they think they won’t be banned on christmas then your team is down to 11. Even if this wasn’t the case, your logic is flawed
