This has been posted for years but: it’s still needed. There is no fun in attempting to grind Ranked when 60% of the time there is an early leaver or griefer. I got something like -140 MMR for trying to actually stay in the match for about 7 minutes controlling the leaver in tandem.
Thankfully, despite the fact that the WC3 reboot could have been so much better, this game wasn’t entirely left to die on launch. Things have been added and I’m thankful for that. But one of those final major pieces is leaver penalty for ranked. Harsher penalty for continuous.
I know there’s no microtransactions in this game to “justify” development efforts in this time of modern game development, but we still paid for this. And we waited too. If this is the state of what a Warcraft RTS is for perpetuity, it could at least have a few more enhancements to make it a more enjoyable, finely tuned machine.
