Rage is banned for five (5) days.

Then why not at least remove items from people that lag out multiple times?  I seem to recall the reason why it was made to re-prize the lost items was to aid newer players who were already in a steep learning curve environment - and to just make practices feel more like an entertainment than a pressure filled league match.  While that has been the outcome, it's become a form of abuse because some people seem to induce lag.  There should never be a reason why someone that has lagged out 3+ times is allowed to continue playing with no item loss.  Half the time it's the opposing team that is penalized by losing items because they are forced to burn reps on the lagger or wasted rockets/thors on him right before he lags to spec and avoids death.  There is literally no penalty for people that are forcing lagging in a zone that already had pretty relaxed lag limits.

 

Again, this is a far bigger detriment to the zone as a whole than the two occasions someone subbed in after dying out (and banning for someone subbing in to try and win the SQUAD PRACTICE seems ridiculous compared to someone subbing in on the other team after dying out to deliberately try and ruin the match by suiciding).

 

There needs to be situational judgment before just dishing out a ban.
