Then you can report them for gameplay sabotage and get them properly punished 
As I said, if you seriously get that frustrated by the game, just don’t play because you ruin it for others.
League also does this.
Just give a 5 minute timeout if leaving or AFK. Also make sure they can’t join any other modes to “kill the time” basically.
Double it for each time they got the timeout in the last 24 hours. (so first offense 5 mins, second offense 10 mins, third offense 20 mins, fourth offense 40 mins, etc)
If it happens once in a while due to an ISP fluke or maybe some RL emergency, it won’t bother you. But if you’re that player that leaves in the last 30 seconds in an “unwinnable game” to save time, and do so regularly… that mechanic is gonna be bothersome.

You are absolutely unreasonable, so i will put it this way.
Stop trying to cure the symptom, start curing the disease.
I frankly believe the opposite 
Leavers are a disease.
Okay let me make what you want make sense to you.
You go to the movies and the movie is horrible, its just torture to watch. So you stand up and try to leave now there is a punishment if you leave so you decide to sit back down.
How does this fix the movie?
This game needs encouragement, not punishment.
- Receive 75% less XP for a number of subsequent matches
- Receive a loss for the match along with a decrease in skill rating
- Receive a 10-minute penalty in which they cannot join another match
- Continued penalties will add up and increase the lock out time
- Repeated violations may result in a ban from Competitive Play for the season and the player will not receive any rewards
those are the penalties for Competitive
Leaving the movie doesn’t affect the other watchers. False equivalence.
And the penalties for every other mode? They don’t mean much to a bunch of people.
You really just do not want to get it do you.
But if we are punishing people for lowering the quality of the gameplay, lets also start punishing people for playing stuff we do not like. Shall we?
I hate playing against Doomfist. I think hes absolutely broken yet you hear me wanting to ban the player who is making the game horrid for 6 other people?
IMO, if you leave any match, you should not be able to queue again until that match ends. You will always have the option to rejoin if you wish, but if on non-comp mode, you might risk backfill kicking in and you can only spectate.

I think the cool down would be fine. I sadly have to leave qp games from time to time cause my baby woke up. if someone actually has a reason to leave they won’t be back in the next seconds. so this idea would prevent at least people from just randomly leaving.

Apparently you don’t even understand the concept judging by how terrible your analogy was.
You claim a leaver cause the 5 other players to be frustrated.
But Doomfist can cause 6 players to feel frustrated. So the player playing Doomfist according to you is more deserving of a punishment because this is a quality of life issue.
What u want with more punishment will do the opposite, it will make the experience even worse. It will result in even a lower active player base, what you want wont result in people not leaving anymore but will result in them not even launching the game.
It can cause all 11 players to be frustrated in fact.
If he’s so frustrating, then don’t play.
If it makes the experience worse for leavers, then good.
Leavers not launching game = Fewer leavers
Sounds good to me
lmao i’m not gonna sit through a ball softthrowing and exclusively playing horribly synergistic heroes
i don’t care how long the penalty is
if the team or me are playing like garbage, i’m gonna leave
i’m less incensed to do this on comp by a massive margin, but on non-serious gamemodes (which is everything but comp), I don’t care about your problems once I’ve left.
Cool, then you should have to sit in timeout for a few minutes.
Joining a game is a commitment you consciously make. Leaving before it’s over isn’t fair to the other 11 players.

Comp Leavers should a get a penalty box timeout equal to the longest queue time of all the roles in their ranking plus 5 minutes. That ways it punishes all roles equally. Also you can only work the penalty box time off by actually being queued for competitive, so you can’t escape it by taking a break or something (you can of course play the while you wait modes).
on Paladins on switch I kept disconnecting when I first started playing idk why it would freeze on the loading screen
anyways, after the third disconnect I got I think a 10 minute ban, so I just stopped playing and went to play something else 
…I don’t think people will keep playing if you give timeouts on qp imo
I don’t think most people would care if those who leave and make the experience worse for everyone else don’t play the game frankly.
You might, if it leads to even longer queue times
I’m not trying to defend leavers btw, i’m just pointing out issues that come with your proposal 
Now imagine having a long queue time and then you backfill into a game with 5 seconds left because someone couldn’t be bothered to wait until it was properly finished.
