Add Leave Penalty!

[upbeat jacinth]

I have been playing this game everyday for the last year for about 3 hours a day I have racked up so many hours and other than some arrow glitches I have never seen any glitches and I have only seen one cheater besides the teaming issue. But the only thing i would change/add to this game is a Leave Penalty since for the last 2 months I have not been able to play a game where half the match or more does not rage quit after turn 3 I literally won a game today since everyone left turn 4. I'm a full time game developer and I know that it should be easy to implement. Some Large Risk Streamers have been talking about this like Kilted Gaming who keeps saying this is an issue. If anybody else can confirm that this is an Issue please do, and to any developers to this game reading this please tell me if you will or will not add this and your reasoning to this problem.

Those who leave games don't care about punishment.

The problem is that the current ranking system is meaningless. There's no skill based matchmaking, so you will regularly play players at a lower skill level than your own that do not care about their rank as much as you do.

I play casual

every time i eat or am cooking dinner i just load up Risk

it is still an issue in ranked as well i watch streamers play ranked and they say and see the same thing

Well, it says it right there in the name: People will play casually and not care about winning in that mode.

If you want to play a serious game, then you will have to play seriously yourself.

And yes, people also quit in ranked. This is a serious issue as I've said above.

i dont care about it being serious i just want a Leave penalty

overall

What would that penalty look like?

The argument against it is that people have lives and need to leave games earlier than they might have planned to do and that you couldn't punish them for that.
It makes sense to have a place for both: Ranked, which already punishes leaving early once it becomes meaningful. And casual, which allows everyone to play even if they only have little time on their hand or if they aren't as committed.

yeah i get that it would be like if you leave in the first 5 minutes 2 or 3 times in the same day you will get a day suspension and so on

Play on mobile or PC. Mobile i am I always have connection issues. Reconnected today and could not place troops. Old issue guess I would get penalized under your system. Good grief just an online game

I only play casual too, I don't understand the fascination with getting ranking, it is nothing more than ego boost.

People leaving is likely a bigger issue in casual because even ranking isn't affected. But it doesn't bother me, the bots can be more of a challenge than humans. 😬

[upbeat jacinth]

Too bad Never play with bots that can move

[jagged fiber]

Ranked gives you a goal to achieve in the game. Quite literally the only goal the game gives you to do. And it allows you to see your progress on how much you've improved. People also tend to take the game more seriously in ranked so you end up with less suicides and people quitting.

I personally find casual more enjoyable so that's mostly what I play, but ranked is hardly just for an ego boost.

The ‘penalty’ shouldn’t be in the points but in the inability to join another game while the original one is still going.

This is probably a no-go, as it lessens the revenue stream, but just in case ...
Rather than penalise botting, how about rewarding staying in the game. 1 gem for a completed game, 2 for the winner.
If a genuine network or IRL issue, it's not a big deal to not gain a gem now n then, but multiple quits every day, that's gonna be noticed, if only by those who can't throw money around willy nilly.
Sure, it's "giving money away", but I suspect more money's lost with people quitting the game entirely, because botting out is so annoying.
