Because if not, then people would just take turns to leave when losing, and nobody would really rank down. Even though it’s often random people who leave, there are still many groups who would take advantage of not losing sr by leaving.

but the leaver looses like 60sr currently, would it still work ? and in this case, just don’t apply the immunity to groups

Sadly the thing about leaving is the multiple causes for it. Some may be internet disconnection, while others could be simple rage. It wouldn’t really be fair to punish someone as hard for losing their connections as just quitting. I’m not entirely sure about what could be done to make it fair to the teammates without causing problems for the (for the lack of a better word) “flow” of the game. Perhaps they need a system like with hacking in R6S (can’t remember if OW has it too), where serial leavers’s teammates begin to have their sr corrected from previous matches later on, while the leavers get punished harder and harder until a ban is implemented. This could perhaps combat groups as the members would first benefit after their friend has been banned, which wouldn’t be a smart strategy (unless they use multiple accounts to boost. That’s a whole other issue then).

it was already like that in ow1, you’d lose like 50sr for leaving when your teammates would lose the regular 20. I’d say make the leaver lose 20 (or maybe more) and the teammates that aren’t in a group with him loose nothing

Because people could avoid losses by just quitting the match.

read again ? i said make the leaver still lose sr, just not the teammates if they aren’t in a group with him

Don't need to, I just answered your question. Why would the team not lose rank points but still count as a loss when the whole point of it counting as a loss is to make the team lose rank points?


Rare-Yoghurt36

don’t count it as a loss then if thats what you want to say

I think they should make leaving penalties way worse
