This is something that honeslty shouldn't need to be discussed. Today I was at my 7th game on a flawless card, and one of my teammates straight up left the match 2 rounds in, leaving the other 2 of us to loose against a full 3-player team and our flawless cards.
(Freelance for reference)
Therefore, when someone leaves a flawless game intentionally, it shouldn't count against, this way no one looses a flawless due to a teammate leaving. Those who leave intentionally should get slapped with a long ban that extends each match they leave before completion.
Could this exact thing be abused? Maybe. But it being a freelance only thing could help lower abuses as you cannot see the cards of teamates, and helps you not have your runs ruined by someone who quit in a 1-2 match for no reason.

Ever think they could have been kicked? Lagged out or had a power outage? Imagine getting a massive time put because of something like that… we all know the destiny servers aren’t the most reliable. Ether clutch up or find a team. I’ve been in the position of a 2v 3 for flawless in freelance and be and my teammate just completely played off each other and clutched up. The sad thing is the game literally started us out at 2v3 so we have a very intense 4 to 4 game that we ended up winning. It was 100% the best flawless I had ever had.
