Rage quitting has been an issue in Street Fighter V ever since players realised that they could drop out of matches without being penalised. While it's pretty crazy that the game launched with no punishments for such conduct in place, it looks like Capcom's preparing to tackle the problem head on.
"Yes, we are well aware of the problem of players disconnecting before the match ends to retain their League Points and their win streaks. Thanks to all of the players who have brought this to our attention," the official blog states. "We are working on a permanent solution to this problem, though we don't have an exact date to share with you at the moment. That said, we are going to take direct action starting next week to punish those players who are abusing the system," the post continues.
According to the publisher, "punishment will be severe for the worst offenders", and it encourages players to record any instances of rage quitting that they come across. Hopefully this incentive will make people think twice about pulling the plug when they're losing a fight - at least until Capcom's got a proper system in place.

You know there's a downside, what if you lose power and you get penalized? Hopefully it's just points and not preventing you from playing online.
I'm never raging when I drop out because I'm being hammered. I actually do it with a certain level of finesse and swagger.
I only came across a short handful of rage quitters since the game's release. I experienced more of them during the beta testing. But it's cool Capcom is doing something about it. It's cool how MK approached the issue though... lol
Capcom just released an official statement in English: Rage quitters watch it!!
I've been playing casual matches, so I haven't ran into rage quitters though. This must be happening a lot in rank matches. Once Capcom fixes this problem then I'll start doing a few rank matches.
That's nice......can you confirm if your developing a arcade mode?
Its about time rage quitters get punished, if your rage quitting because you are losing Isn't that a sign you need more practice. Especially if you don't want to lose your Win Streak or LP, and more importantly you are missing up the Leaderboards.
I mean messing up the Leaderboards.

It happened to me just a couple of times, but the last time I got so pissed I actually sent the video to the SFVServer account on Twitter using PS4 share.
