The changes to quitter penalties today are pretty great, and very fair I think.
BUT…how is there not even a mention of doing something for the players that actually get screwed when a teammate leaves??
If one player quits in comp or trials, you’re pretty much done. Something has to change.
For Comp I’d say you don’t lose any rank points if a teammate leaves, and the winning team gets like half the points they would normally get.
For trials, the low man team should get a free mercy.
I’d love to hear more suggestions, but SOMETHING has to be done.

The quitting penalty does not fix the issue on either side. The ability to reset the quitting penalty will be a problem. The problem players will continue quitting but reduce it just enough to be below the max threshold. That or stop playing long enough to reset. Comp and Trials quitting should be treated differently. Especially since adding players late will never fix the match. Incentivize staying through lopsided matches. Especially players who get a loss due to players quitting.
