People are abusing the leaver mineral buff left right and center. half of my games people leave to give their tm8 the advantage. giving one player multiple bases and two saturated bases at basically 30 seconds. its broken. fix it. considering i get noob gold/plats as my tm8s, i cant win 1v1 while my tm8 makes puppies.
first off its not a buff, if your down a tm its to make it slightly more even. would you rather have a tm leave and not get minerals from them. do you know how bad that would be. really you complaining about something like this shows your intellegence.

Yeah this ain’t a buff, unless the teammate is quite bad
i would rather have it so if a player leaves, everyone else can leave with no penalties and the person who left gets a temp ban for 5-15 minutes. instead of playing an unfair game. sure the 2 can win against the 1, but only if the 1 isnt very good to begin with. but the 1 wins more times than not. i have at least a dozen replays of my tm8 leaving and i can essentially do a 14 pool build with the eco of 32 workers. making a couple more hatches and spaming huge waves of lings the enemy cant defend. you not seeing that shows your intelligence. the real trick is just using the second base as mining, not building anything but the max worker count for your 2 gases and mineral, then you expand with your race everywhere else. im sure you could be way better with using 2 races but that requires some serious apm and im just better with zerg and have never actually played protoss competitively. and my last terran competitive game was in 2013.
no, if you and your team mate cant beat one guy alone just because he got a eco boost that just means your terrible at the game and if that guy beats you guys being a man down and doing the job of two people than he absolutely deserves the win and the mmr. Theres no reason you should lose to a person that has to do what the two of you have to do while hes by himself. thats on you and how bad you are or your team mate for that matter. most of the guys that get put in this situation dont even know how to handle not having a teammate in the first place, and they never use the other guy to expo and gain eco on the leavers supply. youd be suprised how often i see this in games and the guy ends up being a cake walk.
also everything you said with the no penaltys is just lame, what do you want everyone to leave for an easy win, like seriously how is what you suggestion gonna help anything at all. giving the eco of the tm who leaves is the best thing in this situation. if the person chooses to stay in whats he gonna do with a tm who leave and cant get nothing from his units or base, like seriously what do you want out of this. do you see how bad your suggestions are now.
Here’s the thing, as others have mentioned, it’s not a buff. It is simply fair that the resources are split between the team. It’s still a big disadvantage for the team with the leaver. It sounds like the real issue is your teammate not being very good (although it could also be you).

yea having a trash tm8 makes it impossible to win against even a lesser skilled player with dual eco. let alone a similar skill, or better. plus the leaver gets the free MMR if their tm8 wins. they should at least give the loss to the leaver and nullify the mmr loss/gain for both sides if someone leaves within a minute or two.
bs, they should not nullify the loss/mmr loss gain at all. again, if your tm leaves, do you expect the other guy to leave as well. with a mechanic like this thrown in, just think about how many guys on teams that will just leave the game to cause everyone problems. youd have nothing but dead team games cause of trolls, especially the tking ones that force you to leave early game. again the best thing you can do in this situation is give the eco to the other tm. now should the leaver lose mmr, damn straight he shouldnt get the win, if the tm that stays leaves. but to out right cancel mmr and loss for all the rest, absolutely not. again this will only cause alot more problems with all the trolls in the game.
Best thing about playing Masters 2v2 is when your opponent leaves and you get double the income. Glad they never fixed it and wish there was a separate mode you could log into. Ive absolutely crushed my opponents every time this has happened.
The loss to the leaver, yes, I agree, but I don’t think the rest makes sense
and imagine the problems. " oh i dont like the person im playing against, so lets leave and no one gets mmr, hahahaha" or " lets ruin everyones day well just leave games all day long. " you know, well and full theres people out there that will do this all day long too, just cause they can.
not the to mention the fact that ranked and unranked play together so, all some one has to do to avoid the mmr penalty cause they left the game is just play unranked all day long leaving games. can you imagine how bad that would make the team ladder.
