Between last night and now tonight 3 games in a row I’ve had quitters…343 you all gotta do something about it. Quitting a ranked match should be an instant lock out from all matchmaking for 20 minutes and it should get longer with every quit.

Who knew after all these years that quit bans would stop quitters. It’s so simple, I can’t believe its never been tried before.

If 343 would fix their poorly designed, broken ranked system, few gamers would quit matches. Until then players will continue to leave a hopeless match.

This is the fault of relying on a matchmaker AI to pick your teammates and not yourself sadly. There’s only so much that AI Matchmaker can really use when it comes to picking teammates, it can’t read your mind after all. Even if they did include bans people would still quit out of matches all the time.
Not really sure if there’s much 343i, or any company could do about it honestly.
That might help, but probably do very little to deter leavers…
The quit bans have never been harsh enough. I’ve quit every game of Launch Site for the last 2 months and have not been banned once.

Same thing happened in MCC. The quitter penalty was such a joke, and once people realized they couldn’t actually play a 4v4 game without some loser quitting, the regular players just moved on to better games. 343 tried a bold move by once again using a spineless quit-ban system, and the playerbase dropped the same. The only difference this time is that players also stopped playing because the game is also an unplayable mess.

If left alone it’s still going to run people out of the game. If peoples fun are constantly getting ruined by others who simply don’t care about anyone elses fun but their own then the structor as a whole is going to eventually give and collapse.
Everything they do will to try and deter it from happening or “fix” it haven’t been effective at all. Bans have probably deterred it and, to be quite honestly, probably improved the game by getting ones who excessively leave to quit them game altogether.
Forcing new people to join matches where people have already left generally just lead to them just quitting because they don’t want to be in a losing match. Matches end too quick anyway and with Halo’s low player counts this generally never helps improve matches anyway.
This has always been a fault though with games that rely on matchmaking in general though. I never really had these issues when games just used server browsers. Well, TF2’s community servers had it’s own issues thanks to MotD that did forced adds and garbage, which all died when Quickplay was introduced lol. But other then that it was always rather fun…
I’m tired of people afking games cus they didn’t get their challenge. We warned 343 about this crap and they don’t care at all…

There is no Launch Site in ranked. They are talking about ranked here, not social and for social the quit ban system is different.
MCC’s quitban was a harsh one, especially in combination with the game refusing to load people into the game from time to time. First ban is already 15 mins there and every time it goes way up. There are a lot of people who left the game because they got those harsh bans for doing nothing wrong but the game refused to load them into the match. Even in matches where you can quit banfree (1v1, FFA and Firefight) you would get a ban if the game refused to load you in, wich is ridiculous.
Remember that if that happens 3 times in a day (wich wasn’t that uncommon, especially when they introduced those harsh penalties) you already had a total of 1 hour and 45 minutes of ban without doing something wrong! On top of that MCC had a lot of crashes too.
I have a friend who is a streamer (and thus plays a lot) who never quits, but even got a 16 hour!!! ban because of the errors in the game. That is how you scare of your playerbase.

Yeah, because punishing quitting works so very well in H5 and infinite. 
Instead of choosing the laziest solution of all, why not actualy thinking about the problem and come up with good design solutions. Heck, by now they don’t even have to come up with own stuff and just rip of other games ideas. But thats the 343 style… do as little as possible, close both eyes and pretend the problem isn’t there.

What if they logged a quitter for you. So the next time you came across them, regardless of mode, your invincible to them and can insta kill them, even if they’re on you’re team lol.
Ya, I got nothing to fix this.
Quitting a Ranked game is an instant lockout already, for about 10 minutes.
Many people disconnect, or are only trying to get a very specific gamemode for challenges.
For example, when 343i made the ultimate challenge ‘win 3 ranked CTF matches’ which meant players had to play on average 48 games of ranked to complete the challenge.
The quitting problem would likely stop if 343i stopped making players go into ranked when they don’t actually want to play ranked.

Taking quitters out of the pool for a time instead of letting them quit repeatedly is a solution.
Yeah right… and why again does this thread exist?
Or they can fix desync, broken aim assist and the rank system and maybe people won’t quit.
