Just what the title has said leaving in competitive games ruins it. Too often you see someone leave a team and that team struggle to recover from the damage of having one less player. This has happened on way too many occasions for me on my team and to the enemy team.
While I understand that the leavers are punished my big problem is the loss. You could be winning a match, losing a match or in a mid point where its almost impossible to tell who’s winning but because someone left your game you’re given a loss. This system sucks, it doesn’t matter how good you’re doing or how bad you’re doing or anything. You’re team is at a huge disadvantage and can rarely climb back from it considering most people on your team will be equal to the opponent.
In my opinion a simple fix would be rewarding the team without the leaver a win and the team that had the leaver would be given a draw. This would make it so much better as no longer would you be punished for having someone leave your game but instead the game kinda just never happened. If not a draw for the team with the leaver just give them nothing but make them lose nothing. I’m sick and tired of losing because my matches have a leaver. Fix it.
Because that totally wouldn’t be abused if you were losing a game to ensure you don’t lose sr
Yeah abuse would be wayyyyy too rampant. What they need to do is start increasing the punishments for leaving a game. A 10 minute comp ban isn’t a deterrent.
Leavers should always get a -100 on their rating and ban that ramps up.
However for people that have DCs there should be an option to reconnect to matches.
And client should be able to distinguish an alt+f4, a leave or a DC to make sure punishment is given where its due.
I have a feeling that most Leavers don’t are about their rank. If they did, they wouldn’t leave.
I always play competitive 14 days later in the season as uptil then all occasional leavers are banned for that season .

I disagree on the SR cut. Essentially it’ll encourage smurfs to DC to artificially drop their SR. SR should be a rating of your skill, not used as a punishment. It just puts higher skilled people in lower skill games. I fully support the ban ramp ups though.

The problem is that if they did this people would just disconnect their internet to abuse the system. People who DC should also be punished. You shouldn’t be playing comp if your network connection is spotty. It’s not fair to the other 11 people playing in your game. I get that occasionally people will be knocked offline, but that’s why you have the punishments ramp up. First 2 or 3 offenses aren’t bad, but if it’s a common thing then you need to get banned.
