***This topic is about COMPETITIVE MATCHES not the entirety of D2.***
***Let's have REAL solutions and suggestions for this please. Toxic comments will be reported.
You need to severely punish those who quit during a competitive match. No exceptions.
***EDIT: All quitters should be matched with other quitters. Other games have implemented this to great success in the past. Put those who have a habit of quitting together on thier own server. Then the only people left are the people who actually finish what they start. This is not about winning or losing. It's about completions. You wanna quit? Well, you should just all play the game together.
If you have a bad connection you shouldn't be playing competitive anyway, as your possible loss in connection can ruin a COMPETITIVE match. Play Quickplay if you have a bad connection. Just played three matches in a row where I was the only guardian left because the three other teammates quit. How is that fair? Why are they allowed to just leave? In fact, you should make it so that you have to close the entire D2 game just to quit a competitive match. Drop in and drop out players in Quickplay don't really matter that much. But competitive matches are competitive for a reason. You take those matches a little more seriously than other regular matches. Something MUST be done about this. It's beyond frustrating to have to fight 4 other guardians by yourself, knowing that no one else will join the match because it's competitive. FIX THIS SHIT!
***EDIT: Skill based matchmaking would make a huge difference in who does and doesn't quit matches.

What about players who "quit" due to outside forces? Or have to leave just this once because they have something of importance to due in the real world? Should they also be grouped up with the people who leave losing games religiously? Lets say you're in a game, and, for no fault of your own, your power goes out? Or your Wi-Fi dips for a moment, or any number of other things that are out of your control? Well, by your logic, you're now condemned to play against ""quilters" for the rest of your days. Hope it was worth leaving a game unfinished cause you got called into work or had an emergancy, cause your d2 competitive experience has just been decided by it.
