The game was literally designed with a mode for people who want to try harder and it's already equipped with a punishment system for players who abandon their teammates. TLDR if you set low expectations going into your unranked games you'll enjoy the game more and won't be disappointed by peoples poor behavior. But if I'm playing unranked and my teammates do quit early I really couldn't care less, we're talking a mode where often the majority of the lobby is dead before the first circle ends, similarly a high percentage of the time one of my pubs is dropping us hot where I might die to loot RNG of opening a pill that has stims while the guy next to me kills me with the rampage he just picked up from the pill next to me. A person who plays 5 games a day and abandons 1 out of those 5 consistently is worse than a guy who plays 50 games and abandons 5.Īnd just to be clear I don't quit out of games until my banner expires. Lastly if you were to punish chronic abandoning in unranked pubs the solution should not be predicated on a static number of abandons instead it would make far more sense for it to be percentage based. Second you should have zero expectations for unranked, it's intent is to be a casual mode if you want people who try harder then that's what ranked is for. There's no way people are taking abandon penalties in 8/10 games in your ranked games. If you have such a big issue with leavers play ranked. Clearly they didn’t want to no fill or they would have. If you need a solid team to have fun then find one. No one in their right mind would criticize you for that, so why is it such a problem here. Point being it is up to you to have fun however you want. Building on edge of map with you and I go fight and 1v3, why should I have to wait around any longer?
Or plenty of times when I get people in my matches that would rather play loot simulator and hide it buildings. Plenty of times I’ve sat waiting for teammates to pick up my banner but they intentionally don’t, or if they do they just hold it all game. Plenty of times I get yelled at for not contributing when I have more damage than both combined at the end of the game. There are plenty of times I’m playing solo and because there is a premade duo they do things that hurt the team simply because they are friends outside the game.
The reality is that this game has a lot of people who don't know "Literally" how to play the game and one cannot bother to watch them struggle and wonder why can they not pick up another stack of ammo when their inventory is filled with things they dont even need, these are the kind of people I leave the game on, why spend my time playing loot sim and watch them die to the ring when I can go to another game and have a chance to have someone a bit competent. If its actually someone who looks decent and smart then I'll stick around and even invite him to a party and play with them as long as I can because at least I know I can rely on people like him. It takes around 10 games to find someone of my level or higher, but whenever I am carrying a dude who loots 95% of the time and the other 5% spends it downed, if that happens to me I am going to leave because theres no way in hell someone like that will do anything substantial get the banner and respawn you.
Please stop ruining people's fun time just because you're a spoiled loser who doesn't want to try even a little bit to win or even play the game as it's meant to be played. Why don't you want to win? Do you just want kills and losses? Why not just hit that NO FILL button and stop ruining the game for the others that get stuck with your toxic ass? If you say you can't go solo, then you act and play solo on a team, you're toxic and shouldn't be on ANY team. You just gave up trying, yet you wish to try again when you are still able to finish and win the game.
It takes much less time to wait for you to be picked up or called back into the match you already spent a bit of time in, and you give up when you still are able to win it? Why wait till you get downed? Just leave the match the moment you miss your first shot? Or if you land 10m from where you actually wanted to land, game is ruined, start over! How about, "oh no, I'm 50m from the circle and the first zone is closing in, might as well restart the game since I won't make it in the next 3 minutes." It takes at least two to three minutes for you to quit, start up another match, choose characters, wait for loading, then finally jump out of the ship to start the new game. So you'd rather take a loss and more time to start another match, than just wait a literal minute to get back into the game and possibly win it? Why choose to be a solo loser when you can be a team player and win? I really don't understand.
