How should rage quitters be punished?

[Grima The Fell Dragon]

Seriously after having three rage quitters on Smash Ultimate, and 5 on Lethal League Blaze it's ticking me off. Is there a way to punish people like that without punishing people for random internet or power outages?

Discuss below.

not all rage quitters 'rage quit'.

almost all my disconnection due to ISP problem. the only internet connection in our mountainous town is thru LTE. every time there are strong winds affecting the tower, we get more lags and intermittent internet connections.

But if someone had gotten into a situation they were angry before the connection dropped and you can sense the poison in the words, it would still look like a rage quit even if it was just a disconnection. and when they come back 10 minutes later not knowing when they are beat on the issue as far as someone else is concerned feeding off that negativity, the user being more more enraged than before because all that hard work went unrewarded due a connection drop being mistaken for a rage quit.

not always easy to tell good from bad with circumstances conspiring to make you look like a complete tool, especially when you know full well what the problem was and couldn't express it because others are convinced you are that rage quitter instead wanting to see the truth. it does happen once in a blue moon unfortunately.

there is not a lot of room for understanding when the games are going, focus is high and adrenaline and emotions dominate over reasonable sense.

You know what I hate? When I’m playing a “ranked” game and someone disconnects. Now it’s a 5v4 game.

GG Surrender 20 minutes. Commit Despacito.

yes, in that situation, it is true 'rage quit'.

That is genius. I bet a lot more people would be hesitant to rage quit if they had to go through all that, or risk an IP ban.

IP bans don't work with the existence of dynamic IPs.

Isn't there a way to trace an ISP to a location regardless of how they change it. Your ISP can change but your GPS location doesn't, right?

they shouldn't be punished

If you constantly quit, just put ragequitters with ragequitters, duh. Just like there are system where game puts hackers against hackers (MW 2019 being one example) you can do the same with people who are bad teammates/behave badly in-game. csgo does that to some extend with Trust Factor system.

do what the xbox 360 did to fighting game RQ's and perma ban their console from online. the prevalence of ltg looking clowns who cant take a loss without going into a fit of racial slurs and RQing is very sad

[Random Ryan (RETURNING SOON!)]

Ban them from finding matches for a few hours, and when the cooldown is over, put a tag beside their username (temporarily) showing everyone they join a match with that they've rage quitted before.

[chiefputsilao✖️ping]

not ban but they all have a non-removable 'rage quit flag' when playing the game

[shoopy]

Temp bans like somebody else said. One power outage won't be a problem, and people with bad connections should be discouraged from playing anyway because it still results in an aborted match which is the actual annoying thing. The "rage" part doesn't actually matter.

Why punish? Better to explain why you're upset. You won. They lost, they quit. What do you really want? Bragging rights? A medal? A Public statement of your manhood?

The idea of winning, is to make the other lose or quit trying.

What you're actually asking is "should people be punished for losing"

Imagine this in a game of cod or similar.. "You have been given a 24 hr ban because you didn't come 1st" It wouldn't be that "noone would play it" it'd be "noone 'could' play it".

Quitting before the match is over is bad sportsmanship. So is not losing gracefully. If they quit in a tournament, they would quickly be disallowed from tournaments because nobody likes a sore loser.

Why?

Why is is bad sportsmanship? Why are they a "sore" loser?

You go into a game, you make a tactical and strategic decision on the chances of you winning, realise you're going to loose, no matter what. And leave, why waste your own time by just being there, so someone else get's some glory? Isn't that worse?

CSGO does a good job of punishing rage quitters. Bans you from gaming for a couple of hours to months on end if you don't finish matches.

Whether you can quit and when is actually a part of the rules. Some games have a retire button. In Chess you're expected to do that. In a lot of games though it's not actually over until it is over because there are technically no "unwinnable" positions. People have come back literally on the last hit. In those games, quitting is not expected and just makes you a quitter.
