Question about Smash Bros Online:

Do you think it's 'unsportsmanlike' to disconnect after you lost all your lives? (I don't usually play stock so I have no self-preservation instincts and am almost always the first to die.) Now, on its own yes, that's pretty shitty to do. I mean, it is STUPID that you have to stick around and watch the others fight if you're done in a four-player match, but my story isn't finished yet.

I've had this happen to me a few times now, and I 'disconnect' from the server every time because &*(% these players.

So I will be playing a 4-player fight, stock battle with a timer on it that is like 7+ minutes. I play, I die because I'm a fool and didn't realize it was stock, which is fine. That's on me. but the entire fight, ALL THREE of the other players were just running away from one another, hardly fighting. I think it was yoshi, King Dedede, and Little Mac. They avoid fighting as best they can, so I spend the whole match chasing them down and getting hits in. This is on Little Mac's stage, by the way.

So that's pretty shitty of them at first, but then once I die and stop chasing them around, all three of them STOP FIGHTING! Little Mac runs to the left and just stands there. Yoshi jumps on the ropes in the ring, and King Dedede stands over on the other side of the ring doing nothing.

For three minutes.

They hardly even engage one another. They walk menacingly towards one another but don't attack.

I record about a minute of it (Can't seem to find the video on my phone, though), and eventually disconnect, thus making them all forefeit the match. I got suspended for 1 hour for that.

So, just disconnecting because I'm a sore loser? Pretty shitty thing to do. but this? This is annoying and I hate playing people like that. I meet FAR too many people who just play 'run away' the entire match. why even fight if you're a coward?
