Losing 50 SR when leaving the match after the 2min timer has run out

Hey. First of all: Why is there no bug report forum for EU?

Anyway, I’m pretty sure this has been reported quite often but I still don’t know whether or not it is actually intentional behavior.

Currently, if somebody else on your team leaves and you also leave the match after the 2 minute timer that reads “you can now leave without punishment” ran out. Now, I know I’m still supposed to lose the 25odd SR that I’d normally lose for a loss on my SR, that’s not news. The issue is that during the next game I queue for, I proceed to lose an additional 25SR no matter if I win or lose it. That means that if I win the match that I queue for directly after I gain 0-5SR, while I lose up to 50 if I lose it. What I’m saying is that the SR loss for leaving gets “saved” into the next match, even though I should go unpunished for leaving a match that already has a leaver.

This is a huge problem for me because it basically forces me to play out a 5v6, which is probably the most psychologically draining thing you can do in this game, if I do not want to take a 50SR loss to the face.

Because the devs don’t come here. The EU forum is a wasteland. That’s why I usually spend most my time on the US forums.

I was gonna say you still lose SR for losing, but that’s not the case. I’m not quite sure why this happens.

Unlucky. I posted it on the US forums as well but didn’t receive an answer. Might try again later.

Yeah, you lose the normal SR for losing initially when you leave after the timer runs out, as is intended. However, when the match that you left ends “officially”, you lose another 25SR, which adds up to the amount of SR you lose if you leave without “being allowed to”, effectively forcing you to play out a 5v6.
