The classic rage-quit.<\/p>\n<p>The solution? Send the quitter to a special digital &#8220;Jail&#8221; where they can play with all the other quitters, forever trapped to a torment of half-arsed and incomplete battles as they ritualistically quit on one another.<\/p>\n<p>This is how the quitting punishment system works:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first time your disconnect percentage goes above 15 percent you go to JAIL.<\/li>\n<li>A 10 match minimum is required.<\/li>\n<li>JAIL lasts for 24 hours. During this time you can only be matched against other JAIL members.<\/li>\n<li>Each time you go to JAIL the amount of time increases by 24 hours (capped at 5 days \u2013 120 hrs).<\/li>\n<li>While in JAIL your profile icon will be automatically changed to a custom JAIL icon to let you know you are in JAIL.<\/li>\n<li>When your JAIL time is up, you go back into the public again (even if your disconnect percentage is back over 15%).<\/li>\n<li>However, when back in public, if you disconnect and you are still above 15 percentage you go directly back to JAIL.<\/li>\n<li>For any match that sends you to JAIL, player will take a loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_61745\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Killer-Instinct-jago_vs_sabrewulf.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61745\" class=\" wp-image-61745 \" alt=\"Jago vs Sabrewulf\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Killer-Instinct-jago_vs_sabrewulf.jpg\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Killer-Instinct-jago_vs_sabrewulf.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Killer-Instinct-jago_vs_sabrewulf-267x150.jpg 267w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Killer-Instinct-jago_vs_sabrewulf-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-61745\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jago vs Sabrewulf<\/p><\/div>\n<p>What do you think of this system?
