Why is there no timed Ban for leaving early again?

Why invent complicated algorithms for punishing freelosers that has the tendency to punish the innocent people with technical issues?

It quite simple : you get 5’ additional queue time for each freelose (game left <1’).

And as I said, if you’ve got a technical issue :

• You will probably try to fix the issue, and so won’t freelose repeatedly
• You’ll probably won’t even notice due to the time required to actually fix your technical issue

What freelosers want? To drop MMR. OK, if a game ends in less than 1 minute the MMR (won and lost) would be 1. If a game ends in less than 2 minutes the MMR exchanged would be 2-3 and so on and so on.
Also if a game goes more than 15-20 minutes the MMR exchange would not be 12 points but…15 (this in order to encourage long-macro-games).

That has already been proposed on the Q&A smurfs thread. That could could be an idea, but that’s not simpler than the queue time penalty, and :

• would punish a lot more regular users (as people cheesing would be affected, while in tournament a game lost is one lose cheese or not).
• would be abused by people disliking some match-ups or cheese by leaving early to minimize the MMR loss.
