This is actually annoying, why should we have to wait about 90secs everytime they rage quit? it's obviously their problem, make them not able to play again for hours as punishment pls

    I've noticed it happening more often recently while playing this emblem event. People can be very bad losers.

    No, they shouldn't be punished, even less a punishment of hours without playing, because unexpected disconnections do occur and people also have real life priorities that sometimes can't wait... this is just a mobile game go do something else while waiting.

    Also instead of punishments the game should encourage good behaviour, just as an example for each 10 straight "thanks" you give (excluding private matches) you would get a Shop Ticket (with a limit of 3 per day).

    Besides that all I can say is don’t do unto others what you don’t want done unto you... be a good sport.

    Like most of these players left without concede, they alrdy know they are 100% losing the match, obviosly they just did it intentionally. What so difficult to just press a button before leaving the game? They should do it for good sport tho

    If they are busy with something in RL, just stay out of the game and be focused, instead of wasting our time to wait just to continue for next game

    I think it would be better to reduce the waiting time when an opponent leaves the match from the current 90 seconds (as mentioned above) to 45 or 35 seconds. This would be much more convenient, in my opinion.

    There is a middle ground. We don't have to harshly punish everyone with connection issues nor do we have to let everyone off the hook.

    How about the first time you afk or disconnect, you experience no punishment? People have internet or IRL issues that force them to leave suddenly. Reasonable and understandable. Happens to all of us.

    But then successive time-outs on the same day should accrue longer bans. The first one ten minutes or so. But after that it could lead to hours or the entire day.

    If you are timing-out frequently enough to earn bans, either you need to fix your internet or you are griefing.
