Treyarch adding harsher punishments for League Play quitters in Black Ops Cold War TreyarchTreyarch\u2019s Lead Game Designer has confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War\u2019s League Play mode will be getting new abandon penalties, as players complain about teammates leaving matches early. Black Ops Cold War\u2019s League Play finally dropped on February 8, nearly 3 months after the game released. Fans of the competitive mode saw it as a welcome addition, but also criticized it for coming so long after the game\u2019s launch and not matching the high standards Treyarch have set with competitive modes in the past. Regardless, League Play is here to stay for the rest of BOCW\u2019s life cycle, and Treyarch have now confirmed that harsher abandon penalties will be coming for players who leave games early. In competitive modes, game developers often implement penalties for players leaving games early, to prevent them from abandoning and putting their remaining teammates at a major disadvantage. In Rainbow Six Siege, for example, players receive a 30 minute matchmaking ban and lose MMR. Repeated offences result in longer bans. At the moment, players leaving League Play matches receive a hit to their ladder points, essentially meaning they are handed the loss. However, some have argued these are insufficient punishments, and do not do enough to discourage abandonment.

Scronce did not specify the exact nature of the penalties coming, but time penalties \u2013 essentially preventing players abandoning matches from instantly finding a new game \u2013 seem a likely port of call.
