Premade Leaving Problem

Competitive Discussion
1

Seeing a rise in the number of premades having one person leave the game within the first minute if their team gets wiped/stalled and it’s not looking good early on. Does the whole premade not get penalized for this? Because this seems to happen more often than not when a team wins the first minute quickly. Just have the person on a smurf/friend carry account do it and it’s not even a penalty.

A really easy solution:

  1. Penalize the leaver normally and penalize every person in the premade 50%.
  2. Make leaving early too often in this way a bannable offense (Someone explain why it isn’t already besides the money machine???)

If this is stupid can someone explain why the current system is best case scenario to me?

I’ve noticed that too. It’s getting pretty annoying.

It’s really annoying, I’m basically a game away from Plat and just entered a game where we literally snowballed enemy to cap first point Havana in less than 30 seconds. Poof…there’s a leaver and the game ends. :neutral_face:

Had this happen twice yesterday on Xbox.

It’s worse on consoles because smurf accounts are free to make so there’s zero accountability to players who do this kind of thing. If their smurf gets suspended they just make a new one for free.

It’s been years of this now. Blizzard really do need to do something about the smurf problem on consoles.
