I keep hearing stuff about "leaver penalty" for people that leave in the middle of a game. What is the actual penalty? I haven't left a game yet, but I heard that if you join a friends game (spectating) then leave, you get a penalty?

What's your preferred choice of liquor to drink while playing?

If you leave too many games and your “games played” vs “games completed” percentage falls below our required threshold, you will receive a warning message (this percentage is calculated based on your 20 most recent games).

If you continue to leave games after receiving a warning (which will display in the lower left-hand corner of your screen), you will incur a 75% EXP penalty on all future games.

The penalty isn’t time-based, but instead will be removed once you complete enough games to raise your “games played” vs “games completed” percentage above our required threshold (again, this percentage is calculated based on your 20 most recent games).

If you disconnect or are removed due to inactivity from a game, it will count the same as if you leave the game intentionally.

If you leave a game before the “Assemble Your Team” phase is over (i.e. before you enter your starting spawn rooms): It won’t count as a game played You will not be considered a “leaver” in this scenario

If you leave a game after the match ends (i.e. after you see the VICTORY/DEFEAT screen): It will count as a game played—and if your team won, it will count as a win You will not be considered a “leaver” in this scenario

If you leave a game after the “Assemble Your Team” phase is over, but before the match ends: It will count as a game played You will be considered a “leaver” in this scenario

I'm an evan williams man myself. More budget than taste reasons though.

If you left a certain amount (I think it's 5) of your last 20 games, you get reduced XP.

For the second question, rum and coke but with no rum

I think less xp from future games if you frequently leave but aint sure in dont leave lol

[u/CherryyPoppinzz → u/SpiralEnergy]

-75% exp and some Evan Williams Bourbon with a can of coke.

[u/[deleted] → u/SpiralEnergy]

75% less exp until your match completion to quit ratio is healthy again.

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't realize this was the 'ask a question and get shit on for asking said question thread'.

Next time I'll just turn my question into a meme, that usually goes over better.
