I normally don’t leave keys. I have left only 1 this entire season.
I will not be punished because I do not want to stay in a rude person’s keystone. It doesn’t happen all that often if at all but I’m not about to take abuse from a random person in a video game.
I’ll leave and time a higher key or even a lower key… idc long as people are treating me like a human being.
Also to add to this, with the OP’s first option if someone were to be kicked out of the group it would incur a penalty.
Thank you for letting the community know you 100% got carried.
Mans thought picking a healer would exempt him from “getting carried”.
Better alt hop now bro 
How did I do?
How would you know?
They should do it like they do in OW. If you leave a match in comp mode then you get a temp ban for like an hour or something (I forget the exact times as I don’t leave games) from doing Mythic+. Then if you leave again the mythic+ ban time increases. A third time I think it is like a week or something. A fourth time is a mythic+ ban for the rest of that season.
Now, again, I am probably incorrect about the times but that is the jist of their system and leavers. If they leave and then don’t leave again for like a few weeks or so, then their leave timer will reset. They have to leave x amount of times in x amount of days before the season ban hits. So WoW could do something similar.
OW is random queued content. Blizzard does not impose punishments for Manually formed content.
Push your own keys. I pugged KSM the entire way and only had people leave early 3 times, twice because we wiped repeatedly.
If you have tons of people leaving your groups, you’re probably the cause.
I leave keys quite a bit. Usually at 21-25 level we’re just doing for points and group usually has portals. We do a big pull and screw up everyone just says gg and disbands, not hard feelings.
However in lower keys it’s usually cuz someone isn’t doing their job. Usually a dps who thinks doing 20k in a 15 is fine or a tank who doesn’t know the routes doing 15. Learn on a lower level and take two minutes to learn your role. I’m not paid to carry you.
Good point. Didn’t even think about that.
No.

join a guild with people who run mythic + and are either capable of timing the keys you’re running.
Shoot I’d be a serial account killer the way I throw shields anywhere.
It sucks, but a 3 minute guide on your role in a particular M+ dungeon will teach you everything you need to know and watch out for. If people would just learn something about the Dungeon mechanics, we wouldn’t need these topics to exist.
Even 3 minute guides, addons, and the top WA don’t prevent players from standing in Detonation Seeds, Flames of Doubt, or other very very telegraphed attacks, but the little details you can learn in a quick guide would see a sudden surge of players not flopping as much
Again, it sucks, you shouldn’t have to go outside the game to learn about every critical detail in a M+, but there isn’t a great way for Blizz to provide a resource for it either, as that would then become them directly telling players how to play the game. Dungeon journals, even though players ignore them to this day, provide great information about bosses–but I would argue that the Dungeon journal should include trash mobs, and the critical moments to watch for.
Blizzard was a big fan of, Tank Busters, like Dark Claws, Hanuting Gaze, Severing Slash, Mortal Hew, Arcing Strike, etc that are designed for hard stuns/blinds stops, and somehow, players even in the 2700+ bracket have failed to catch on
Edit: all of this is to say that a penalty for leavers is not the solution. Sometimes the group just plays a bad game collectively, or someone in particular keeps messing up, but, you simply will not time these dungeons with 1 person underperforming.
If you find yourself stuck in 2k-2.6k you need to make friends who you can play and communicate with. You are only going to have a miserable time listing 18-20 keys for pugs to come and brick because y’all DO NOT communicate with each other at all.
And if you don’t care about any of that? Always list your key as completion
Someone needs to make a “Punish Key Leavers” mega thread and lounge.
