Simple Solution to Stop Disconnects with/without Servers

CyberianFaux

I have long thought about this and the simplest solution that can be implemented now that would solve the problem would be to implement a timer that you are locked out of playing the game when you directly hit the leave match button, which would help half of the disconnection issues. If you hit the button once, you are locked out of the game an hour (reasonable as something may have came up and you need out of the game immediately), again once you have connection to the game back that day is two hours from when you hit it, 3 times is a day ban with any disconnects that week being the next penalty, 4 times is a month with the next tier applying if disconnecting once in that whole month after you return, 5 once that month is over is a year ban. This will result in more people pulling their ethernet instead but should help alleviate the people being able to do this easily with the simple click of a button while also allowing it to remain in cases of emergency for people.

Please give me any thoughts you have about this. Sorry for the long-winded post!

It isn't meant to solve every case of this but most people aren't so dedicated to quitting they will constantly unplug their ethernet connection. The whole point is to disincentivize pushing that button unless something has come up that would warrant you abandoning your team. If the penalty isn't high enough, people won't care and push that very button when raging, for teammates to get hatch, etc. Basically, going around the systems in the game should take more effort than pushing a button but that button should still be there for legitimate needs of people who have emergencies and such.

But then you could ######### on the hook or stay afk

Again though, that is preventable because the killer would still get hooking points and survivors could unhook you before death.
