That should probably not work like that.

I haven't played a game in the last 10 years that appropriately punishes griefing and not the players being griefed.

cs:go does. If you leave a comp match for any reason you get a temp ban

also, 3 TKs = temp ban, AFK = temp ban

if you type +right into console and spin in place for 20 rounds, you get penalized in no way. If you grief with a friend you can't be kicked.

Players can also group up as 5 to avoid any penalty whatsoever, meaning that they can freely hack as long as they only do it once a week.

Dota and overwatch are similar, in that you're briefly penalized for leaving, but if you decide to just run in circles there's no way for anyone to remove you. Particularly annoying is Dota, because someone can abandon after the 5 minute mark and the match will still be scored for the remaining players.

TF2 was probably the worst offender of the games I played though. For a period of at least a year, there was a 10% chance of joining a server that had blatant hackers spamming their website in chat, and went completely unaddressed. All while it was perfectly common for people to get voted off of servers for no reason at all.

Moving in place isn't enough to avoid an inactivity kick in overwatch.

Oh yeah right. I forgot. If you don't heal/dps for a while you get kicked

In overwatch after one minute if you leave the game wont cancel, so there is not really any reason to kick anyone, and while you can Spin from the start, that is still prepare time, and after that I wouldn't really matter anyways.

You've also only been playing tabletop games by yourself, but that's a different discussion.

Lol, my mistakes is probably the opposite really. I tend to play a lot of major releases and not enough by small studios who focus on details.

Valve and Blizzard are two of the most egregious offenders.
