Playing with random teammates has ups and mostly downs. It could be said that there is nothing worse than being abandoned by a teammate mid-match or before a game even starts. Other competitive games disincentivize players for leaving early. For example, in CoD: Vanguard Ranked, players that leave early lose Skill Rating and Ladder Points. Warzone does not punish players for leaving early, though, and it\u2019s becoming a problem for the community. Warzone players demand repercussions for players leaving early Disgruntled Warzone players have been voicing their frustrations on Reddit. Reddit user PaleoclassicalPants created a Reddit thread and said: \u201cThe culture of \u2018well that didn\u2019t go perfectly to plan, better insta-backout\u2019 is legitimately killing two-thirds of my lobbies.\u201d The Reddit user suggested that there needs to be something in place to disincentivize players from backing out. Another used added, \u201cbring in the ban hammer. You abandon your team, you get to cool off for a while. Longer ban for repeat offenders.\u201d To further complicate the matter, other users protested that players should not be punished if they lose connection to a server. One user claimed they worked as an in-house game tester for Microsoft for almost ten years and said, \u201cI can\u2019t remember if it was Gears of War 2 or 3, but one of the titles implemented a very strict drop policy. I think it was much needed, but you\u2019d also get flagged if your internet dropped or batteries died.\u201d Raven Software needs to find a happy medium to satisfy everyone. Players shouldn\u2019t be punished for losing connection to a game but also shouldn\u2019t be allowed to leave whenever they feel like it. Warzone 2 is right around the corner and Raven Software may need to find some sort of resolution before then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone players demand change to fix \u201cepidemic\u201d of early quitting Raven Software\/ActivisionWarzone players are demanding change after a wave of people, which some have described as an \u201cepidemic,\u201d have been deciding to quit games early without consequence.
