I’m in leaver queue and I just had back to back games with players sporting 80%+ win rates on their profiles, but gold-like KDAs in the ~3.0 region and unimpressive performance in the match.
Proof or lie.
I’ve no reason to lie about this. I can give you their names, but both of them have heroesprofiles with vastly fewer games than recorded in their in game profiles even for heroesprofile and a rating there that is labeled as plat on that site.
A left game affects your MMR, your match history, but not your ingame stats. So ppl who leave every/most match they think they would lose, thus technically remaining only in “certain wins” will have skewed stats.

As I suspected. So in effect, that’s a perverse incentive for narcissistic players. I suppose they’ll be permanently stuck in leaver queue, though, so only dodgers and comcast customers will be subjected to their ways.
lol
anyway, yeah. I think theres also a system where repeat offenders need more wins to get out of leavers queue then normal. There have been times where I’m helping someone get out of leavers queue and they are still stuck in it even after a win.

If you rarely leave, disconnects once in a while will not send you to leaver queue. If you do it more often, you need to win a game, then two games. I’m not sure what the maximum is.
Never been there myself.

If they keep leaving the penalty will get higher so yea. I think the max is 4 games you have to win in leaver if you have left games left and right in a short time span.
But agan most people who do that are stobbon to understand and will always blame the system for being to harsh towards them.
But in the end Blizzard did the right thing changing the consequences to like it is now. Win 4 games are a much harder punishment towards leavers and afk players then play 4 games is casue the game force them to actually play the game like they should have done from the start. Then they would never have ended in that situation.
But those players will keep complaining and cry about it forever so whatever lol. At least as long they are stuck in leaver que they cant ruin more people’s games.

The maximum is 4 games. It means the player left 5 times in a quick succession (or 5 times spread across time, without playing several games with no DC’s).
5 since the first penalty is 0 like you said.

Can it happen to leave as the core is finished or BEFORE it gets finished?
Considering that there was a time on my old comp when I DCed on the Core exploding and said “Victory” yet I didn’t get that match counted, it’s possible.
I’m uncertain on how the afk flag works tho, because usually a short DC in the end meant nothing and I got my win (or loss).

I almost always need 4 wins if I ‘oversleep’ a draft. Even if the last time was months ago.
The cooldown seems to be extremely slow for this thing. That’s ok though, at least as long as it doesn’t go over 4 - that’s a big enough deterrent to prevent anyone ever doing it on purpose but also small enough to not feel overly punishing for accidents.

I once got hit by that bug. Core exploded and it said we won on victory screen but when I logged in again it were a loss in my match history. So I guess the match does not get registrered as won before you are on score screen after mvp has been nominated.
And I also got a 1 game leaver que because of that bug.

I remember I was playing hero league like 4 years ago and I DCed (internet disconnected) right as my team got the punisher and made the last push to the end. In my match history it was showing as a loss for me, but I actually got the points for the victory when looking at the hero league points.
Mmr responds, so yea.

Dodging draft counts too. That’s the only reason I get it. I had gotten rid of leaver status once, then D/C’d but the game didn’t give it back to me when it should have. I don’t even think it was in my match history, but anyway. Sometimes its weird. But the highest I’ve had is 4 wins needed.
Aram is seriously a cheat code for getting rid of it. Matches are relatively shorter and they’re pretty fun tbh. I don’t mind getting leaver’s status. Its not super hard to get rid of. I would imagine the frustration of players not being able to get the 4 wins relatively soon though.
I think its safe to say that any D/C happening before you’re back at the match results screen can possibly count as you leaving.
