I have encountered lots of dumb people that just leave Lockdown in the middle/start of the game and leave the team shorthanded. I think we should ban them for 5 hours from playing Lockdown/Colosseum after 3 times of leaving mid/start games.

Who is with me?

maybe not 5 hours, but an

maybe not 5 hours, but an hour would be a good idea.

keep in mind that Spiral Pnight is played by a lot of people that have crappy internet, and they sometimes cannot help it if they D/C mid-game.

but then, if their internet is crappy they shouldn't be PVPing anyways.

haha, I was a bit angry with them leaving as there is a few times that 3 people left and it became 3v6 instead of 6v6. well the time of ban depends on OOO to decide.

one idea

1st leave: pop up notification, 10 min window started
2nd leave: 5 min ban, window reset to 30 min
3rd and subsequent leaves: 15 min ban, window reset to 1 hour

As much as it's unfair to the players with bad connections, those players are being unfair to the people who want to play a properly matched game. If your internet craps out more than once in ~10min, then you probably shouldn't be playing Lockdown; you'd probably have trouble enjoying SK at all at that point.

The second fix is to implement a Resign button that can be pressed or unpressed, because occasionally really bad matchups do occur. If all of the players on a team have pressed the resign button, they are credited with 100cr and no Krogmo coins or bonuses. The winning team will get the usual Krogmo coin/item payout for winning, and 200cr. The resign button will be grayed out if the timer is still under 2 min, and if the point differential is less than 150 (this should scale to number of players).
