If you have ever played Lock Down, I'm willing to bet that you have frequently witnessed people leaving before and during matches. Perhaps they wanted to play on Frostbite for the achievement, or recognize a strong player on the opposing team and forfeit, or simply leave to troll. Whatever the reason, this results in extremely unbalanced teams and makes LD less appealing each time it happens.
I have a few suggestions to address this problem:
1. Display a prominent "Report Player" button at the results window which is enabled only when a person leaves. This button should be accessible by both teams. For repeat offenders, disallow their participation from Lock Down for a few days.
2. Fine the people who leave an increasing amount of crowns and/or automatically award their team a "pity" Krogmo Coin.
3. For every 2 people that leave team A, one person from team B is randomly chosen to join team A to maintain a balanced match. However, this may lead to intentional feeding/trolling in Guild Lock Down.
Thank you for reading my suggestions, and I welcome any constructive criticism.
For 1 it would seem to make more sense to have an automatic counter that resets every so often rather than relying on other players to report (or even I don't think it is worth encouraging people to report for LD leaving). I can see the merit of applying temp bans on LD entry for those that repeatedly leave (and it would have to be a decent number to prevent wrongly penalising those that might have an off day with their connection).
2 would either be harshly penalising or highly abusable depending on which way you'd go with it. In fact, a pity coin in guild match might encourage someone to leave to benefit the rest of the team or even have people in random match "selling" the service of leaving to net the team an extra coin each.
3 would work in a balance sense but might p*** off people who might have been on the winning team for the whole match only to suddenly get switched onto the losing team because people drop out. When prizes are involved that just seems wrong. The losing team might be suffering due to leavers but that doesn't mean we have to go randomly penalise one of the other players too.
