Loss Forgiveness because of Quitters???? I Give Up

I have been trying very hard to catch up to my friends playing arena slayer and I have notices that A LOT of players just rage quit when they are not doing well in matches therefore putting their team at a major disadvantage and more than likely losing for it. I have had this happen to me many times and my rank falls for that. I feel like there should be some type of a lost forgiven system so that the winners do get to climb in rank but for those that stayed in the matches their rank doesn’t suffer because of a rage quitter. I know people would think well then parties would abuse that then by quitting for each other so that they can save more losses as a whole. My counter to that would be to do what MOBAs like League of Legends and Smite do. Give a timed leaver penalty for each leave that resets every 4 days or so. The way it would work is if someone leaves they can not match make for 5 minutes, if he leaves again 10 minutes, again 45 minutes, up to like a few days. That would counter people trying to abuse my idea and people that lose because of quitters can keep their rank neutral.

Edit: yup, done this match making is a completeeeeeee joke. Nothing but NNNNNOOOONNNNNN SSSSTTTTOOOPPPPP LEAVERS. I’m sitting in a match right now as I type this 1 vs 4 again. This is just a joke no one will take this serious I can promise you that. not to mention putting me a plat player with silvers vs all diamonds, that sounds fair. I wanted to like this game but after a few days of 1 v 4s and 3 v 4s I can now see what everyone was saying. RIP good Halo days. You still got the fun multiplayer right, but there is nothing competitive about this. Something as simple as an unranked playlist could have fixed all of this…gg

i do think that matches should be forfit after a point with no winner/loser, and give rewards based if there was no teams. i also think that anyone who quits should not only forfit any and all rewards but be massively penalized in rank, ideally at least half their current rank or so.

That sounds good as well, that could be another alternative to the timer idea

I like this idea.

If this were to be done there just needs to be way to make sure that people who actually have to leave are not penalized severely. It would be awful for a person that had to leave in the middle of a match because they really had to be somewhere come back a day later and see that they have been demoted a ton for it. People who leave for no reason though and constantly should be penalized though.

it’s a pretty sound idea. There is already a penalty for quits - it’s pretty forgiving though - but it would be nice if as soon as someone quits or discos the game then goes unranked. You still get rewards, but no ranks change hands

Your suggestion plus a pretty rad sympathy silver REQ pack would making lopsided matches less frustrating.

I like this idea.

I don’t want to be punished because I have to leave a match to go for tea

This is starting to get out of hand REALLY REALLY quick. Because of 5 games where people have left today I have went down ranks. 343 please consider this :frowning:

andddddd another quitter. Idk how much more of this i can take maybe there needs to be an unrank playlist or something

yup and another, just wow unbelievable 1 vs 4 right now as i type this. Edit… ANNNNNNNDDDDDDD another rank down

Apparently:

Whether or not it’s enough is another question.

not sure if it’s "Fun’ but I think a REQ point boost when you’re on an unbalanced team and still stick it out would be nice.

yup 3 games in a row with quitters. this is about to hit uninstall status

You should be punished. If you don’t have the time for a full game don’t ruin it for everyone else in that match by having to leave. Manage your time better.

dont look at it like that, if ur going in solo you should fully expect it. Dont worry, you are as good as you are, clinging on to a 50% win rate doesnt do anyone any good. For me when they all quit its like a fastest shooter first, pistol only see shott headshot practice, can you kill one before u get wrecked by the other 3 . .to me its pure pressure play and i really really enjoy it, not to mention 3 turn arounds as a 2 ive pulled. The feeling is beautiful and i urge you to keep playing till you get it, quitters for me improve my game and i start relying on my knowledge of the map, aiming heights and accuracy

I don’t think you should be penalized for losing when the teams are uneven. I’m fine with winners prospering but I can’t stand watching a guy quit 2 minutes in and knowing that it will most likely cost us the game and drop in the rankings. Or just give us a social playlist because I enjoy the game much more when I’m not seeing my ranking yo-yo round after round.

It wouldn’t work because then someone would just quit every time a team was about to lose and nobody would ever lose ranking. Things like that will always get abused.
