Penalties for Conceding

Most of the battles I’m in end with the opponent conceding. It’s frustrating and unsportsmanlike to deny your opponent the final blow, and it denies your opponent points that they would have had. Players should be penalized for excessive amounts of conceding matches. 3+ occurrences in a short period of time should result in a temporary ban from online matchmaking.

    Why? Conceding is the proper thing to do.

    You don't waste each others' time, and you both don't have to wait any longer.

    Rage quitters who leave the game and leave you on the countdown screen are the bigger issue.
