For me, the most important thing is:
If there is a quiter, get the option to leave without penalty nor rank change. So pretty much make it so it doesn’t count whatsoever

Exactly.
Why should I be forced to stay in a game that I’ll probably lose, due to one selfish person ruining it for everyone else?
Gears 4 let you quit without penalty if someone else quit. After 3 minutes you could quit I believe?
Why can’t we in 5? Losing ranking points due to quitters is the most infuriating thing in ranked matches.
I do believe that’ll change, though. But it does feel like this isn’t season 1 but rather season 0. Which… shouldn’t happen
It will make for an interesting conversation if he and Octus go at it about how he should be able to back out from ranked if circumstances like the one he mentions arises.
Yes, it would definitely make for an interesting conversation if he brought that up as an excuse as to why he quit a ranked match.

Played x3 execution n peeps quit in all them…game just aint right…im in uk had +120 ping all these games…piss poor experience all round
I was banned in Gears 4 a few times for “quitting”. I never quit. I have staying in on games Gears, COD, etc. when the game was broken and I was getting hammered. I was stuck once on COD, could not move, and just died and died and stayed it. I hate quitting because it is over quick and I can just find another match. Generally not the fault of other players when the match is screwed. Even with my good ping and stuff I would hit issues at times as would others in these matches. I would not quit even if they did.
But in 4 it dropped the server. Literally all 5 of us and some on the other team were kicked. Said something about the match. Messaged a couple on the other team to verify. Yep, we were all kicked and I got a 30 minute ban. Only player on my team to get that so they left and played something else. Happened to me a couple times and to others I played with a couple times.
In Gears 5 we have been disconnected. I was disconnected a time or two. Never a timed ban or anything. But not may fault I was disconnect. My connection was fine and I had a great ping near 20. It was fine. The game just kicked me. The real telling thing was I was in a match with a player and they were kicked from the winning team in the second round while being top lobby. Doubting they intentionally left.
I am all for quit banning. But then I see people literally having issues with only the Gears servers. I was kicked from an escalation the other day as it started. Actually Gears 5 just locked and crashed. I have not had this issue before this with games I have been playing that are installed and have not had it since.

So you wont be backing out for the rest of your life.
Nice job TC
“Imagine how desilusional” you can be to avoid buy a 30 meters ETHERNET-CABLE that cost 10 dolars…. “Oh no i need play on wifi then lag with 150 ping the match for everyone”. They should not even allow you play WIFI on “ranked” on first place…
They should SHARE the LEAVER-PENALTY on PC-HARDWARE/CONSOLE-HARDWARE to get ride of quiters once for all
I’ve said this about Gears 4 many times
What???
If you LEAVE a match your entire XBOX is banned 30 minutes so swaping profiles will do Nothing
If you LEAVE a match your entire PC is banned 30 minutes so swaping another account will not work anymore
You are totally right with the wifi to be honest these users can’t spend 10 usd on a 30 meters ethernet is insane
Apparently, this is newsworthy now…
Also I believe that TC needs to figure out how to discern a legit quit and a DC from a server crash or something. It’s very disheartening to hear that entire lobbies get dissolved by the system but then people get banned. They shouldn’t be handing out 2 years bans if this kind of stuff is happening.

Why use Wi-Fi when you can use mobile hotspot

This.
Why play with a legit wired connection when you can use your mobile device as a hotspot and place it across the street. That way you’ll become the god of the sponges and see your ranks rise to the heavens.
So that’s where the bullet magnetism comes from
I have played with kids that get on with the game in a mature manner, and I’ve had adults swearing, burping, chewing down the mic, being disruptive in horde etc.
As for custom group ? Totally agree, I have sessions where it’s all adults and the discussion is not for children on the odd occasion.

If this was an error on TCs account then that sucks. But if this is the punishment for toxic quitters in gears 5. Then right on TC. I applaud you guys. Keep up the good work.
i just got banned 30 mins for leaving a lobby after two ranked tdm matches. they are banning for leaving lobbys as well?like i hit continue playing and while waiting in the lobby was like nah time for lunch and they banned me 30 mins. it’s a lobby isn’t that the point that you can leave and then they just add someone new?
This has been a problem since Gears 4 and needs to be fixed ASAP
So now put up with constant stacked teams and sponge bobs or quit and get a penalty!? ……… well that’s another reason for me to stop playing after I have completed TOD1
