As we all know, the leavers are a serious problem dropping all players down in the rank because of one guy. Winning 5 vs 6 is nearly impossible, when the teams are on the same level of skill. I experienced games, when someone left, and joined again 30 sec later, because he have had an internet problem and just restarted the game. BUT meanwhile, rest of the team is convinced that the game is already lost and leave as well. It`s frustrating whenever this happens.
We shouldn`t replace those players with others, because it is simply unfair, but we can do it with CPU players, bots. Thanks to this, the team can still have a chance to play it and win (assuming the bots are on an average level, so they wont surpass human players. Make them just to fill, not to change the fate of the match and steal potg in the end).
Because now, it works like this - one player is gone and the judgment is already done.

well csgo does this and if you die you can control the bot.
but is it realistic for this situation?
csgo is simple but Ow is so much complex.
how the system know your team needs a bot to fill as a supp/dps/tank?
and even you have the bot, can you have a decent teamwork for the rest of the game? it’s a bot after all
i rather ask blizzard to let us lose less sr due to the leaver in the game that cost the loss.
Of course the bot player will always be beyond what is expected in that very situation, but let just say a qucik vote system for the team to call for a DPS/Tank/Heal and the bot will pick it and do its best. It is enough? No, but for this case I think its sufficient. Better to play with a weak bot, than not have the 6th player at all.
that does sound like an interesting idea, but I think it might be way too complicated for blizzard to make, especially in high ranks like grandmasters and top 500.
I had considered this before but in high ranks that bot would be deleted in half a second. A better idea might be to debuff the enemy team/buff the ally team so that a 5v6 becomes more manageable. I’m not big on match so if somebody else wanted to work out the balance for it, I think there is a balance to be had by decreasing enemy health and damage or buffing ally health and damage. Or just forcing one of the enemy team to sit out (move them to spectator) as determined by a vote from the enemy team (that way you don’t end up losing your your only tank or your only healer due to a leaver on the enemy team).
That does sound like a good idea. I think blizzard should consider it
I believe they already said why they can’t do that. It was something like if you lose less SR with a leaver it could be abused somehow.
no because when ur on the brink of losing, then you can leave for lower sr loss
You lose the same amount of SR as to whether you lost with a leaver on your team or just normally.
