Leaver debuff?

Wasn’t there supposed to be a debuff? I think I read about this in the past and threads from people asking about it?

I just tested myself: And no. There is no debuff. At least not shown in the boon/condition.

Joined 1 solo arena and left after 1 minute and did not disconnect while the match was running.

Later when I logged in no debuff. Or is it insivble? Or did they not implement such a thing and I heard it wrong in the past(thought theres was something in patch notes)?

So basically I can join and leave as much as I want(if I don’t like the map cause maps are random).

The debuff is not visible until your are unable to play. This is partly to prevent negative attitudes towards people who may have accidentally disconnected, and partly because we can’t hide your buffs/conditions for other people.

We are also lowering the amount of dishonor it takes before being unable to play so that it hits more of our playerbase. We watch the numbers closely and we feel that the dishonor system is currently too lenient to have an impact. The AFK timer will also be shortened so that it’s more strict.
