James Joyce, is that you?
A few smart people already pointed out that incentive is more effective than penalty.
Why does anyone believe that forcing me to stay in a match that is not being entertaining for me is a good idea ?
Why would someone think it is my obligation to stay in the game for the sake of other players entertainment quality?
Who pays for my time spent on entertaining the the player base ? You, Darkflow?
with this stay-in-the-match enforcement, You own me money for doing your job of entertaining the player base.
drop penalties for leaving poor matches or Pay me.

When people leave it just makes match even more difficult, I have put forward idea for greater incentives to play hard mode though, hopefully that reduces amount of quitters - quitters are too common, don’t like conquest leave, lose 1st point in <5m leave, don’t like defence leave, too many Marshalls meaning hard fight leave… RL reason totally fine!

isn’t… an incentive to actually remain and get those xps rather than leave and get a punishment?

Exactly, its an unsustainable feedback loop that just makes it terrible for everyone.

No mate. It feels like you are grinding for that dollar at the end of the day…
Feels like a bad job you have to endure in order to pay the bills.
Feels like being forced to eat you least favourite food or mommy will take your toys back to the store…
Not fun.

The penalties only matter if you care, and you shouldn’t because rank doesn’t matter in this game. Until such time that darkflow addresses the issues that make the game not fun to play; feel free to quit games and feel the freedom of unshackling yourself from the arbitrary and pointless ranking system

You get a point for receiving Battle Hero awards which can offset your loss. The only way to get constantly demoted is to lose a lot AND not getting any Battle Hero awards which implies you’re not having a very good game and thus part of the reason your team is losing. In this case players should have their rank adjusted accordingly.
Every game that has a rank system, people do move up and down which is the whole point. If you can’t move down then it is a progression system not a ranking system which only signifies how long a player has played a game for rather than their skill. Progression/time played is already reflected in campaign level and what gear you have (soon to become your battle rating) so this request to make it reflect progression would make the rank a redundant and useless mechanic.
As player base and the merge update is applied, rank can potentially be used to match you up with players of similar rank, giving you a better chance at winning and thus increasing your own rank.
Also there should ALWAYS be penalties for deserting, no matter how bad you’re losing. I never desert and have played many games where we have had a clutch comeback late game which isn’t possible if people leave after the first 5 minutes. A potential counter to prevent deserting is to allow players to vote on a surrender and if you can get an overwhelming majority to surrender then the match can end with no deserting penalties.
