Why punish the player ?

I can't help if my isp or my connection is crummy. Why does the player either get half their champs life taken away when logging back in or sometimes take a KO? Doesn't seem fair. Is it necessary for kabam to do this?

This isn’t an “offline” game that you can play whenever you want without a connection like a console.

This helps balance things out. If players are playing high end content like Act 7/8 or EOP and they have the chance to restart whenever they want, it would defeat the purpose of playing the content as intended.

It sucks, but you’ll need to consider getting a better ISP if available. If not, sorry

The system is unable to tell between a legitimate disconnection and a purposeful game closure. If it didn’t function the way it does then players could abuse the system and avoid the need for using resources in any and every piece of content by just closing the game every time a fight goes poorly.

Not "could." Did.

The disconnect penalties did not always exist. But players exploited them by simply closing the game whenever a fight didn't go their way to restart it, and so the penalties were put in place to counter that.

I feel like if it was implemented in that one 4.2.6 regen Mags fight, then hoo boy people would be angery
