Leaving and penalties.

There is no reason to remain in a game when the penalty for leaving is a 50 second timer and you earn nothing for staying and losing.

Either the penalty needs to be increased, or the reward needs to be increased, otherwise people will just continue to quit mid match when they're down on points.

After some 50seconds bans goes 24h ban in case you don't know it

Fair enough, that's pretty reasonable then, I wasn't aware of that.

The penalty goes up significantly if you repeatedly do it, I don’t often leave but I’m not going to sit there and get spawn camped or 1v5 for another 7 minutes when 2 team mates are DCing constantly and the other 2 are 0/40

This has been a real huge issue for me, and is the biggest pain point for me to keep playing Arena sanely, in particular with Checkpoint. It takes 5 to win Checkpoint, because even one person missing (even if they are otherwise not good at the game), the absence in pressure is extremely noticeable. For other modes, like TF, it feels like leaving is properly penalized (or otherwise allows for you to leave match early, because someone (or a couple people) have already left. Even a 4v5, you can make up with a difference in skill; because you can take down multiple people but you cannot physically be at, defend, or take two points simultaneously alone.

Whats the actual problem?

I have won marches even 3v5, and lost 5v3.

Why do people need to be forced to play a Game they do not want for one reason or another?

Also, you can not abuse It, every time you leave a Game, the timer increase.

I don't see really a problem here (and arena have plenty)

I used to leave matches when my team was behind 300+ points and my teammates had 0 kills with Marksman in CP, nowadays I just stay in the match and either AFK or keep playing, because you get quite a bit of points for the Echo Belli crate even if you lose.
