As the title says, they need to add a temporary ban for leaving matches in Ranked.
Since there isn’t auto fill when someone leaves you can end up absolutely screwed (as I often do) playing 3v4s or worse. It’s not always a guaranteed loss when you end up short stacked in slayer or strongholds maybe, if the SBMM favors you. Maybe you pop off and dominate the lobby. However, it still sucks in those modes, and it’s a lot harder to pull off a win down a player or two in oddball or CTF, where by the nature of the game mode one player is more limited in their fighting ability when actively pursuing the objective.
As it is, it just doesn’t punish you for leaving and screwing your team. You can get back the lost ranked score from quitting by winning 1 or 2 matches, so why not leave if it’s a map or game mode you don’t like or don’t need for a challenge? It’s positive reinforcement for bad behavior.
The answer isn’t auto fill ranked matches. I don’t want to join a match down 25-37 in slayer. The answer is give players cascading time bans that reset every 24 hours. You quit the match, 15 minute ban from playing the game. You do it again the same day, 30 minute ban.
Don’t take away more ranked points either, because the truth is some players crash or DC, and they shouldn’t lose an entire rank for doing so. The time ban would be frustrating, and it’s happened to me where my internet went down and I got a temporary ban, but idk it’s better than playing half the ranked matches you get placed in at an automatic disadvantage.
I don’t agree just because of how many crashes people are still experiencing. I don’t experience the same issues because I am on console, but PC friends are still having a tough time.
I would however really like some type of mercy rule or forfeit option when you are stuck in 2v4 or 3v4. Finishing a 2v4 slayer is a waste of everyone’s time.

I could’ve sword that there are penalties for quitting Arena matches. Am I wrong?
Quitting is pretty much the worst thing you can do to your CSR. However going by today’s post on how Ranked works the maximum CSR you can gain/lose in a single match is 15.
Also if you quit two matches in a row you already get banned from ranked. And consecutive bans increase in duration. It’s however not just after one match (and shouldn’t due to obvious reasons like crashes or real life that actually might necessitate quitting).

Ah okay, thanks for the clarification, that’s good to know. I prolly should’ve looked to see if there was something in place already. There’s just so many matches I get where somebody quits, and even accounting for crashes and whatnot, that the in place penalty doesn’t seem to do much. But yeah I also agree with not wanting to punish people who didn’t mean to leave or had to go take care of real life stuff too harshly.

I would agree…if the game wasn’t crashing all of the damn place. On both PC and Xbox

oh Halo no, i got a 4 minute leave ban the other day on MCC for leaving a BTB CTF match in reach where the enemies flag glitched under the map so no matter what my team couldn’t cap it. 343 need to remove these types of bans from all of their games. If i own the game i have the right to play it how i want.
they should at least by now have implemented a rejoin feature with how often this game crashes, its more likely to have someone’s game crash than them actually quitting.

I’d just like itnif they removed gamt type challenges or made ranked game type playlists. I WILL leave a game or two if it means getting to that capture the flag for the challenge.
