Why? Tell me? Your team has less point than the other team for 3 seconds? Noobs in your team? You need to go to the toilet? Leave at the very last seconds when your team is about to win so that your other team mates will get more crowns?

People who leaves in the middle of a LD game will make team unbalanced, increase the team with less players' percentage of losing, creates unfairness. YES! I know the team who has less players will get more crowns if they won...but.... They won't win. Grrrrrr.... WOOF WOOF! Grrrr.....
Plus you won't get the krogmo coin if you leave in the middle of the game.( Unless your bag is overloading with krogmo coins) Please don't leave in a middle of a LD game, once I was playing Facility, the opposite team were losing badly but some how they won the match because nobody left and no gave up in their team!

2 things readers need to know here:
1. I am NOT aiming at people who leaves because of EMERGENCY.
2. I am aiming at people who leaves because of their team is losing.

Well I'm sorry, but some of us have parents waiting on their backs and can't wait anymore, so we have to leave.

Besides, with SK's AFK system, just going to the toilet is long enough to get kicked out of the game, so yeah.

To be fair, I've seen plenty of people leave a lockdown match when their team was losing, and then show up, chipper and ready to go in the next match that started. Rather than logging off or idling out, it seems that some people make a conscious, recurring choice to quit early and seek greener pastures.

Sgtbrown, that is exactly what happens to me..that and my sisters.

"Hey look! A guy who is smaller then me is breaking my little brother's leg over there. Meh. Better keep playing Lockdown."
"Hey look! I've got just enough time to not be late to my job. Boss said if I was late again I'd get fired..eh. Better keep playing Lockdown.

But you still get a token if you lose. More, if the bribe bar gave tokens to everyone. I don't get why you'd leave, to be honest. Afk, yes. Leave, no.

Don't queue up, or at least give warning/apology

I have to agree with OP. A lot of these events are preventable by not queuing up for LD in the first place, and giving a quick one-line apology for unforeseen crises is the least you can do. I doubt most such crises are so urgent that you can't type "sry emergncy" before leaving/going AFK or after returning.

And ragequitters are probably the worst- there needs to be a system to punish repeated early leavers, compensate for undermanned teams, and/or allow for a graceful early exit (i.e. team resign). Implementing both of the latter two would be ideal imo.

siiii..............HAHAHA

HAHAHAHA! What I'm going to do without you guys. So much funny comments :3. All I'm saying is that some people types: " NOOBS" ," OMG" before leaving a middle of a LD due to the fact they are losing. Not because their Dad shot his computer! HAHAHA!

They could always extend the

They could always extend the cap time by 5 seconds for the full man team per every leaver on the opposing team. Example being team 1 has a leaver at the start therefore team 2 has to stand on the cap point 5 seconds longer while team 1 still has the original time. Two minutes into the game team 1 has another leaver so now team 2 has to stand on the cap point 10 seconds longer while team 1 still retains the original cap time. Lets say three minutes into the game team 2 has a leaver therefore their cap time reduces by 5 seconds putting it where it was while team 1 had one leaver and team 1 still has the original cap time. I hope that all makes sense.

On the original topic leavers don't bother me too much, I'm used to getting pewned in LD. When it happens and we are getting destroyed then I just go for as much dmg as possible.

I don't log off when I want

I don't log off when I want to go toilet or when my house is on fire or even when the electricity is gone.
But if I don't like some guy in my team then - rage quit on his face, "Hope you lose it %$^ !!!! "

NOTE: Talking seriously, sometimes my internet just goes of for couple of seconds and when I login I start in haven.

As with any team activity...

As with any team activity... try to plan ahead, and avoid situations where your sudden departure would negatively affect five other people. That's just basic courtesy.

7 minute ban, I should probably post this in suggestions

"King Krogmo was appalled at your dishonorable display of cowardice and has banned you from the Coliseum for X minutes."

"omg we lose" *quits* I DO NOT want to see you again next match trying to farm Krogmo coins. If you seriously had to go, a few minutes isn't a long time to wait, heck by the time you get back, it's probably lifted. If you ragequit, 7 mins should be enough for you to cooldown.

@Nexassassin

That's actually a pretty good idea. If you make like 10 minutes, ragequitting will make you miss the length of a full extra game, and if you leave for legitimate reasons, you probably wouldn't be back after ten minutes. It's enough to punish ragequitters so that it no longer becomes profitable, yet be a minor inconvenience at worst to those with things IRL.

The least my brother does

The least my brother does when he gets disconnected is send an apology to the team he was on, saying he got dissconnected. Usually, the are ok.

And I usually go to the bathroom when the screen is loading and we are waiting in the lobby or when we are waiting for a new game. And, anyway, it takes about 10seconds for a quick pee. xD
