Deadlock players express desire for stricter punishments for frequent quitters

Deadlock players are advocating for stricter penalties to be imposed on those who intentionally and repeatedly leave matches before they are completed.

Despite being in Closed Alpha, Deadlock has gained explosive popularity since Valve officially announced its upcoming MOBA.

Despite having a large number of players, Deadlock is not immune to issues such as cheating and griefing. While these problems are common in competitive games, players are hopeful that they will be resolved before the game’s completion.

On Reddit, a player received a lot of support for their suggestion to increase penalties for those who abandon matches early, as they shared their own experiences on the platform.

“They suggested implementing a cooldown period starting at two hours and gradually increasing to 12, 24, and a maximum of 48 hours upon leaving a match. They expressed their frustration with having to queue multiple times before being able to join a match.”

Despite the consensus that stricter rules are necessary, there were differing opinions on the severity of penalties during the Closed Alpha stage, with some arguing for a more lenient approach from Valve.

It is normal to encounter bugs and instability in a game that is still being actively developed. Disconnects, crashes, and players leaving early may also occur due to the game’s current state of development.

“Another user responded, stating that they have noticed an increase in players leaving the game since the NDA was loosened, in comparison to the previous week when they gained access. They believe this is due to new players obtaining the game and playing it as they typically do.”

Despite the fact that such behavior is to be expected, taking measures to address these initial challenges could prove beneficial in the future. As Deadlock’s player community continues to expand in the coming weeks and months, these frustrations are likely to become more common.
