So two players leave the game.........(question)

GrenadesAndHamm·Sep 30, 2017·4 votes·467 views

Two players were apparently together, charging head first and dying repeatedly. Two players left our team within about four minutes. I stuck around and kept getting slaughtered because the two guys kept dying and the other team was extremely powerful. Both refused to surrender.

My question, I left the game because I can't go head to head with anyone with a low level, and the other team is basically running around just trying to find me.

Two people left. Two people feeding. Why do you ban someone for a period of time for leaving because he doesn't want to be cannon fodder?

This game needs some conditions where someone leaving the game is justified.

Yeah perhaps some strict conditions. But really, just walk around for a bit and ask them to please finish the game. Don't leave. That's just gonna hurt you down the road (or immediately after game too).

Going to leave ever single time when two others have left, and the other guys are charging head first and feeding. Like I said, not going to be cannon fodder.

Especially with no chance to win.

Alright man, up to you. If you'd rather wait out the leaverbuster, go ahead.

I occasionally have stuff that pops up at home in the middle of the game. Like one out of 20 games. Then 5% of those games a team surrenders before I get leaverbustered.

You don't get LPQ for going afk in just one game....or even two (trust me, I have personal experience). There is already leniency built into the system for the occasional need to go afk in a game for emergencies or perhaps situations such as this. If you just go afk once or twice in a very long time, most you get is a warning. You got LPQ because you afk/dodge in more games than just this one.

There is no need to create more complex rules for this kind of situation because it can be considered no difference than when your internet goes down in the middle of the game and use your Leavebuster leniency.

I had to leave unexpectedly for one match. Received a warning.

I left that match and got a temporary ban.

I've run into about five or six games where two or more people left the game. In those situations, there is no chance of winning. When people are jerks and refuse to surrender in those situations, I'm going to leave because it's the reasonable thing to do.

I don't believe you that occasionally leaving games doesn't suffer a penalty because I've left exactly two games in a month and it occurred.

Yeah no, it doesn't always penalize you. I've left games before and I've only had one leaverbuster like 3 years ago. I left one of those invasion games just a few weeks ago. Nothing. Idk, maybe I didn't get reported? But it should be automated so idk if that matters.
