These people, of course, should be banned from ranked multiplayer.
Except they wont. Devs just allow this.

Genuine question: when someone alt+f4s they clearly have no interest in playing the map, so would you rather they alt+f4 and you have to re-queue, or that they wait until the game loads before resigning which leaves a 2v3 or a 3v4 and costs everyone elo?
The issue, for me, is that some players want open maps, some want closed and some want Nomad maps. Some players will play whatever, but putting them all in the same queue when some people *really* want to play Arabia/Arena/Nomad seems flawed to begin with. I don't think it's fair to expect someone who has the most fun playing Nomad to have to play through a few games on Arabia or Arena or whatever before they get a chance to play a map they actually want to play, especially as team games can take a long time and their "free" time might be limited.
Personally, I think people should be able to ban as many maps as they like. Ultimately this is a game and it's meant to be fun, so why not let players play the maps they find to be fun?

Some kind of time-out penalty makes a lot of sense for people that alt-F4 because of the map, but then they really have to fix the other issues like not being able to select/change your civ (which has been happening to at least one of the people I queue with every few games or so) or being infinitely stuck with the spinning circle of death.
I have played 10-15 team games in the last couple of months because of other general annoyances on DE, so I can't confirm the frequency of this happening, however I can image it must be really annoying. TG match making is fundamentally broken and needs a complete redesign imo.
Disagree with punishing people who ALT+F4. AOE is a time consuming game. A lot of people only have time to play 2-3 games a day... they should be able to play the map they want to play in the limited time they have.
With the current systemThe main issue with Alt F4 is solo queuing, where for some reason you only get one ban, so you can't really ban all the **** maps in the pool.
I guess the reason for it is to quicken the time needed to find a game but it fails completely as people will just Alt F4 if they don't get a map they at least don't hate. Solo queuers should get the same amount of bans as stacks and it would already improve things I feel.
Feels like they also increased input delay that same patch. Tasking units used to feel like 50ms delay max. Now it feels like input has atleast a 200ms delay. Sometimes you can even click on techs and they don't start researching even though u see the button being pressed and you have the res for it...But more importantly, fix the game to how it was before the Khmer nerfs lag wise (Late game 4v4s and 3v3s are always way more laggy now than it was back then. What changed?)
Maybe we should just have the option to ban as many maps as we want. I know this will increase queue timers, but if one want to queue for only nomad or only arabia, perhaps one should be able to do that.
I dont know how any hours have been wasted due to the 3/4 guys around our rating who usually plays around our time and only ever plays nomad. They always alt f4 when they get anything else. And we always have nomad banned, so its a never ending, vicious circle.
Maybe I should just expose their names publicly for their dirty, dirty behaviour, or even send a mail to Bill Gates about it.
That's very possible, lately it happens way too often to me that I think I clearly clicked Bow Saw and only notice 10 minutes later that it didnt register...Feels like they also increased input delay that same patch.
