With the advent of Season 1 ranked warzones, stakes are a little higher. It's been said that new rewards will be available for only those players that have the highest rankings and have worked the hardest to get there. Well with the emphasis on this new system, i believe Bioware should now step up and back up those who are regularly playing ranked whether it's solo or team.
There are still far too many people who join a ranked q and quit when things don't go well. I've been in many matches where we lost the first one, readjusted tactics and then ended up winning. Those who quit in the middle of the first match or just after, cause frustration and a negative experience for the other 3 who are doing their hardest to win. If we end up losing, it shouldn't be because of an unfair 3v4 match.
My suggestion is the simple lockout timer. This can go for regs as well. If you are in a reg match, make it a simple 15-20min lockout, maybe some kind of credit penalty could be added. If you are in a Ranked q, then the timer should be at least an hour or 2 as well as losing a significant amount of rating, not just 20 points, i'm thinking 100+. Those who leave a ranked q's during the middle of the match should be penalized for contributing to an unfair and negative gameplay experience for the other people on their team.
This is just my 2 credits.
