I have just played my first two games of comp today.
I had leavers in both.
How is this fair matchmaking if I am grouped with leavers? Blizzard?

The match maker doesn’t make them leave, or know they will leave.

It does know who’s prone to leave based on how much they tend to leave games. It’s all recorded.
But i guess you’re just gonna come up with some other out of this world excuse or moot argument to defend the devs, as per usual.

The match maker doesn’t. It doesn’t have access to any of your stats, just your MMR number.
Someone at blizz with all the data could possibly do some number crunching and figure out people possibly more likely to leave than others. But even then that would be very unreliable. There is also no stat recorded for you leaving games.
Ultimately if you leave a lot of games you’ll be punished either way, so it doesn’t need to be the minority report and predict future behaviour.
I’d prefer the brick wall.

Roku is on a roll here it seems. Abusing the report system whenever someone counters his moot arguments to the point where posts are actually being removed.

Fun fact. I don’t flag posts.
I also had a post removed. A mod just took a few out this morning.
As for “abusing the report system”. I think you might need to worry about others on that one.
I’ve played about 20 rounds in the past month and around 80% had leavers. 5 of them were kind enough to do it at the start. I’m thinking it’s intentional as most tend to leave after it will nearly guarantee a loss for everyone else.
I de-ranked from silver to mid bronze due to leavers and those losses!

No you didn’t. You deranked because you lost other games too.
Precisely my point mate. It affects your rank, especially when it (can) happen as often as you’ve had it.
I am the one that presses the buttons this end. So I know what I do or don’t do.
But, there is a way you can (occasionally) see who flags your posts. But it takes a little effort.
