Yes this needs to be fixed ASAP Blizzard. However your idea of someone afking in the arena would not work for various reasons.
It should just be that the game ends, and you get +/- rating based on the rounds that have finished thus far.

Blizzard, I am here to add my voice/vote to this topic.
We need a fix for those people leaving the solo shuffles when the outcome of the game is not going to their liking.
Arguments and situational descriptions have been shared within this threat EN MASSE already.
We need a hot fix for this asap!
People are so eager to punish. As if disconect or some emergency can’t happen. But what is more puzzling is why everyone for rating gains based on games played. What if I lost 2 games before someone left (and the someone both times was in my team) but would win next 4? Or other way around? Then what am I gonna get raiting for 1-2 wins? Its not as simple as it seems.

Also got confirmed by many shuffle wintrading from 2.2 happens alot at night now thanks to the mmr bug aswell
i’ve had 5 ‘‘wins’’ in a row now with a leaver, im stuck at 1k rating, im pretty sure with the 6/6 match i had just now i would’ve been at least 1500-1800 by now, not to mind i have to sit for the majority of the time because somebody didn’t ready check (happens an average of 2 times per run) but i don’t get rewarded for x wins? bruh solo shuffle can’t get the gladiator mount at least let us who make an effort get the set, i feel punished for doing well.
I’ve been spending an average of at least 40 minutes each queue only for some douchenoozle to leave, im working very hard to get the set why blizzard? just why?
also since it’s pug people are getting extremely frustrated and are venting on eachother because it turns out getting 1800 heck even 1500 for many people is a pain in pugs, without the pressure to rise the ranks, the mode would be incredibly fun and could be expanded upon to be 2v2 etc. instead make it x matches, say 50-100 wins to get the set, im pretty sure that would lighten the spirits for everyone.

This needs to be fixed ASAP…this system is broken…damn leavers
What a clownshow blizzard is.
Just spent over 30 min in queue, for once i actually win 4 in a row before someone tilt leaves. And you get nothing from it, it doesent count the wins, no rating is given and i have wasted 1 hour of my life. I have went 1-5 and 0-6 many times, it sucks but i would never leave.
The other day i had 3 solo shuffle games in a row where people left.

Well it would only go on your wins as far as I understnad it. So its getting implemented, but like you said its not your fault, so youd lose nothing, only gain if you would have won.

Weird, people leaving happened to me once so far. But if you go 1-5 or 0-6 many times I can understand why people leave. Also, my queues as a DPS usually show 15 minutes, but tend to proc earlier because DPS don’t accept queue pop.
Blizzard you need to address this quickly, as a healer it’s impossible to win, you either lose or the enemy healer leaves. And the funny thing is that they are not only in advantage for leaving, they remove points from you.
For leavers you have to ADJUST MMR as well, not only CR. And also if somebody leaves GIVE conquest AND Box for winning if you have more wins than losses

So after playing solo shuffle for straight up 5 hours I did not gain a single point in rating.
EVERY round someone left. All others get punished for nothing. Why can’t we at least get rating based on the games played until someone left?
This is sooo annoying, Blizzard please fix this ASAP.
I can sympathise with people leaving because of flamers, it happened to me, “we lose because he’s playing elemental shaman” type of comments, but I still stay in the game, as frustrating as getting no peel is, sometimes meaning less damage and more people flaming you… I think because I’ve stayed in the game, it’s actually made me better at preempting it, or getting out of the situation successfully.
They’re actually screwing themselves over, they don’t become a better player when they leave because they’re losing, it’s as simple as that.
EDIT: I do look forward to the planned fixes going live though.

One viable thing they can do to this and add immediately, if you were in a game which closed prematurely because of someone afking out you should recieve a queue priority putting you in the top of the queue again. This sheit game format is absolutely terrible, I’ve just again spent 2,5hrs on alt trying to climb and going 5 wins on 6th round when one of the healers afks out because the other healer is winning.
It’s absolutely trash to have this game function ingame and not adressing this problem, as this is surely but accurately killing it’s function – to bring arenas to the casual gamer who just wants to pump some games and maybe get some cool transmog.
Honestly, big fumble on not fixing this problem with more than one thing, there are so many good ideas that a frustrated customer base has presented to them. It’s probably the worst kind of customer service where a paying, loyal customer has to come up with not only the troubleshooting and theoretically solve the problem for the company ----- yet… they… still… do … not… implement … any… of it…
the most obvious thing they could do is to nerf dh and zoo demo locks. prolly people won’t be as tilted then.

most funny thing that last leavers were demon hunters 
imagine lose as a dh 4-5 games
thats actually harder than to win 5 as dh

I had talked to some DH and he said he gets leavers 9 out of 10 games. So there is definitely some correlation between DH and leavers. People consider to bring the justice on their own, and not giving this fotm braindead spec any points. If blizz doesnt want to nerf them, they should suffer from leavers.
