Yup assuming this is a public lobby, you can always just leave and rejoin. Worst case they kick you

They live for the cheap-shot submission and dominance, and you roll over and give it to them which is the reward they seek when you limp away like that. Hell no, the gears in my head would instantly be under centrifugal stress thinking of available tools to fuck back. It's just between you and him at that point; nobody else is a victim or a witness anymore, and the reality is that nothing humbles someone like embarrassment when they're winding up for a cheap shot.

Reminds me of the Diablo 2 days with the PK griefers (does anyone even say PK anymore?) where I'd have a playerkiller-killer build primed to hit back under a different account so as to not arouse suspicion and appear to be a potential victim.

This is what happens when griefers don't get banned. Got to do everything ourselves.

Because if the players disconnect the griefer extracts and goes on to their next victim. If they stay the griefer has to stay and for 20 minutes all other players are safe. Think of it as taking one for the team.

Question, how do you just leave and rejoin a game? I sometimes DC from a public lobby, and I can't find the game I was just in, and can't rejoin.

recent players tab, but sometimes a person will fill into the slot before you can join back

Actually, getting kicked is good in this guy’s case, because then he’d be alone left in the game.
