sometimes peoples' power goes out, internet service in their area or neighborhood may be experiencing issues, someone may have attacked their IP address, they may have had an emergency pop up etc. all of those things can be unpredictable, so saying, "well don't play then" could imply one Never plays since those things can happen unexpectedly. that would be the reasoning of a paranoid agoraphobe, applied to logging into and playing a game rather than stepping outside their comfort zone. just apply the full loss to the afk (who if it is legit rage quitting or trolling aren't hurt through being on a 'smurf' account to troll or a main tdgaf about since they rage quit often likely) and then half the loss to the team, for no more than 2 times every 6 or even 24 hours a person being eligable for that btw. to prevent abuse. or believe me, your matches would become worse faster than barry allen could pants you , with everyone and their uncle attempting to abuse the system in some way or trolling for the sake of trolling a mass of players who would suddenly feel safe. that's the goal of trolling these days, to shock the hell out of you and/or make you madder than a hatter.
This is very important to read if you didn't read the rest of that plaster, in hon you could vote kick players. that ran plenty of new players off of the game, between that and them having the biggest bunch of nerd ragers in the genre or even online gaming period. if you incorporate a 'vote' system into the game, you add more toxicity. period. there is a report system, and an honor system. we do NOT need a in-match vote system in place, in this game. please take my word for it. don't give the trolls and crybabies ammunition. I must quote the great Al Bundy on that idea, and simply say, "No Ma'am!"
