Deserter penalty of 20min is too long

I do get why it is there in the first place, but 20minutes is way too long. Games like Fortnite doesn't have any penalty - you can hop in and out any time you want. They have like trillion of players, but here in BGs, sometimes the playing environment isn't healthy.
Sometimes your own group doesn't have a clue, sometimes the other group is pre-formed of DKs and healers. Sometimes people play deathmatch in other games. It's no fun to play there. "Deserting" from that is legit. Why should I waste my time in that?
If I opt to not play the match... then I waste a slot for someone else AND I get inactivity penalty. Sure the game doesn't know how many toxic players is there or if it is toxic at all, but having 20mins is waaay too much for that.

✭I played in a duo. Got placed against a 3-man premade. The 3 premade ragequit because they lost badly.
The 20 minute deserter penalty is well-deserved. You shouldn't suddenly leave a BG, especially since the 4v4v4 is so important in most cases. Losing one player is rly destructive for the team.
(Edit: The BG also closed shortly after, because there weren't enough players in the BG. Does that seem fair to you? That the BG closes for everyone else, just because some people cant handle losing?)
The only time I could agree to not get a deserter penalty - is if you'd get disconnected to login-screen or something. But except that - any force close of the game or ragequit *should* have severe penalty.Edited by Lieblingsjunge on August 16, 2018 11:31AMIgnorance is the greatest weapon of tyranny.

✭✭✭✭It's comparable to the cooldown on a RDF. The only time it's unwarranted is when you get kicked due to some game related circumstance, loading screen, boot to login, etc.
If your team is losing that badly, it's not like the match will take 20 minutes to complete, and you'll still be gifted with 7k AP and some gear.
If you opt to leave, it should be at least that long, if not cumulative.
The people in your group, clueless as they may be, didn't queue up so you could bail on them.
Maybe take that opportunity to teach? What are you going to do, lose?Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

Bregilad✭The penalty is fine, it's only unfair when the lobby glitches and you are forced to quit the match before it has begun. There should be an automatic end to the match if it doesn't start within five or so minutes. Not sure if the patch fixed that, but I had a lot of glitched lobbies recently.0

✭Fair enough, I do get what are you trying to say. It's just that sometimes is a pain to play and just wait it to the end.1 -

✭it is to long especially since the queue is bugging out often and causes you to have to leave.0 -

✭✭✭One player doesn't like that BG so they get to mess it up for 11 people without penalty? I don't think that would be good.0 -

Normally no. But on one occasion - yes. When one pre-made group is clearly abusing two other PUGs, letting the game die feels legit.0
