Desertion/Surrender: We Need This.

[RageOvSparta]

Match Desertion:
You get one grace for crashes, disconnects, etc per strike reset.

1st match within 24 hours: can't join another match until the one you left ends, plus a 30 minute penalty: cannot search for a match until 30 minutes after the one you just left ends.

2nd match within 24 hours: can't join another match until the one you left ends, plus a 1 hour penalty: cannot search for a match until 1 hour after the one you just left ends.

3rd match within 24 hours: can't join another match until the one you left ends, plus a 2 hour penalty: cannot search for a match until 2 hours after the one you just left ends.

4th match within 24 hours: can't join another match until the one you left ends, plus a 3 hour penalty: cannot search for a match until 24 hours after the one you just left ends.

5th match within 24 hours: can't join another match until the one you left ends, plus a 24 hour penalty: cannot search for a match until 24 hours after the one you just left ends and your mark of the deserter lasts a full week.

Mark of the Deserter: an icon of shame on your player card so everyone knows you're a coward.
1st strike: goes away after 1 full game completion or 4 hours.
2nd strike: goes away after 1 full game completion or 8 hours.
3rd strike: goes away after 2 full game completions or 12 hours.
4th strike: goes away after 3 full game completions or 24 hours.
5th strike: goes away after 1 week.

Penalty will stay so long as you bear the Mark. For example: If you have a 2nd strike deserter mark, and you complete 1 full game: you will be cleared of your mark. 3rd strike, you must complete 2 full games to clear the mark, but if you quit on the 2nd match, you maintain 3rd strike mark. The 5th strike will only go away after a full week and you will maintain your desertion mark and penalty for any match you quit, but it won't restart your mark. For example: if you have a 5th strike Mark of the Deserter (you coward), and you quit another match, your mark timer won't reset, but you will still maintain the 5th strike penalty of 24 hours before you can find another match.

Penalties do not apply to Skirmish/AI matches.

Implement surrender vote like League of Legends: very clear when a game isn't going to win or even go anywhere, a close game/tie is more fun than a clubbing, just a waste of time at a certain point. Cannot initiate surrender vote until 30 minutes have passed.

The surrender vote allows a game that isn't going anywhere to end more quickly, to alleviate the feeling of necessity to quit a pointless match.
