How to Fix the leaving system without holding everyone hostage (RED RESPONCE PLEASE)

This was a very easy fix I would like to hear a red response on this idea.

Basically in real life if you are the type of guy to leave games halfway through on monopoly or chess or w/e. What are the chances if you continue that behaviour , your friends simply won't want to play games with you anymore. you will be socially outcast at certain events.

this is a very natural responce to said behaviour.

So ingame why not have it so instead of all the leaver buster penaltys and such. Just make it so when they leave a match they cannot be rematched up with those 5 people for 6 months. They leave enough games and their matchmaking pool will get smaller and smaller and smaller increasing matchmaking ques.

I think this would be an EFFECTIVE way of removing trolls assholes and overall douchbaggery from the game. because if these people were to keep on behaving in this sort of manner they would be waiitng 10 mins for a match not because of lower priority ue but because.. a lot of people don't want to play with them for awhile.

As for smurf accounts this would be a non issue as their behaviour would put their smurf account into the same state if they simply did not change.

Tell me what you think and thanx for listening

It's okay to have people not be matched with the same people. That's fine for one thing. But if you don't suspend them, they're still ruining someone else's game, which is pushing the situation to a worse point than if you just addressed it immediately.

i don't think you understand the scope of this system. sure if they do it once or twice not really that big of a deal.. but if the behaviour continues and they continue to leave games on a consistant basis their match making pool would become so small that it could take hours to get into a match. This has long term repercussions and would be best suited in changing peoples behaviour.

I think this type of punishment has two flaws. The first is that initial leaves have few repercussions and does not encourage players to leave less. In fact, the player may in fact be inclined to leave so that they "will never be matched with these shitters again gg nubs". The second is that in the long term, the player is effectively suspended from his account and does not encourage reform.

I think the playerbase is way to big for that system to work. A low priority queue is waiting for 20 minutes before it starts matchmaking. Imagine how many games you would have to leave to have queue times of 20 minutes.
