Description

It's very annoying that players leave the game, especially in early phases, because they think they have lost.

We should add a warning that says something like:

Hey you, have you tried fleeing to one of your allies?
Try moving to their base and support their fight!
It's bad habit leaving the other players hanging, so please reconsider.

And probably adapt the message by analyzing the game state.
Other ideas? :)
