3 out of 7 games people left after complaining and saying “Im going to Rivals.” I’ve de-ranked twice because of people leaving. As someone who only plays comp, leavers happen–i get it. The fact that these queues are between 10-20min and are wide matches further hurts comp players who are actually wanting to play comp in this game. ALSO. Why do you gain ZERO comp progress on a tie?!? 1 for a loss and 3 for a win, but 0 on a tie. Sure, you get 5 comp points, but the progress bar remains as is. This game needs an overhaul otherwise it will lose too many players to Rivals and Deadlocked. Thanks for letting me rant. I just got sick of losing match after match.
They are changing things in Season 15.
Not sure what they can really change… You play match, you win or lose, your MMR changes accordingly, you queue again with your new higher/lower MMR.
Pretty much the basis of every ranked system.
Leavers will forever be an issue because it is not something they can stop. They could theoretically give you less MMR change when there is a leaver, but they’ve already said that is something they aren’t working on.
Deadlock is a game that will likely never get a real release. I wouldn’t worry about it.
