I think both is true - some Players leave because they can´t lose, some leave because of their connection!
When we were playing DOM yersterday, we came into an Lobby of an high-skilled and strongly organized Clan. We played one match - and lost. We played another one and lost.
Their connection was completely 4 bars during both matches - we had only 3 of 4.
When you notice, that you are dead in the part of the second you discover an opponent, there are three/four reasons for it:
a) they spam UAV´s (what you could see!)
b) they spam portable Radar (what you discover little too late)
c) they use Recon or they are just better than you!
d) they have the better connection!
Our best Clan-Members have an K/D of 1.3 to 2.0 - and we do win 68%+ of all matches.
It nearly never happened that none of us have a positive K/D in an single match!
Yesterday we had this twice in a row!
I´ve left the lobby after the second loss because it did not make any sense to me to play a third match with less connection!
My K/D was still 0.95 in these matches - and the highest of our Clan that time!
The matches I´ve played before were all 1.5 K/D+!
The reason was the connection only. When I rose my gun (I´m using Quickdraw Pro and Stalker Pro) I was almost dead. When I shot on them and hit them 4 times already with my Assault Rifle, they shot me dead with their first rounds!
My knife seemed to be blunt also...
The only reason to stay for two complete matches was, that we thought the connection would raise - and we would beat them (anyway it´s been close matches!) then!
We all like the challenge against good players! But I dislike loosing for no reason because of connection-issues!
My 2ct.
