Its cool and all that leavers get hit with a massive rating drop.
But giving the people who didnt leave nothing for their time is still punishing people who arent leaving.
Further penalties for leaving wont help keep leavers from leaving.
Giving people who stick around rating (or even losing rating) for the rounds that were played would be nice.
Blizz posted this change is in the works.
Weird, its almost like I called this being the most logical solution months ago and everyone was zealously standing by their opinion that the games shouldn’t be calculated.
Oh how the turns have tabled
Yeah, I was saying it’d be the biggest potential problem if no rating goes out in the event of a leaver, but I wasn’t sure exactly how it’d be handled.
Only for the rounds played? All, as if the one with the leaver had lost?
The most likely one here. Or give the other team an opportunity to 2v3 or something lol

You get mind controlled and game disconnects you. Lose 150 rating.
Even though healer gets a fast que. We have very little agency over the success of the game. It usually comes down to which healer can carry that one squishy no damage dps / burst / cc at the right time to tip the scale to a 4 win 2 loss and pray no one leaves.
End up playing an immense amount of games with very little rating change.
They dont lose MMR, they can easily get their ratings back.
Dont forget, Day one all the R1 Glad streamers knew how to cheat getting full Wpvp epics and 2400 rating, w little punishment. Same people learned how to game the system again, highly coordinated groups all in discord, they dominate the match, next match they throttle way down and take a dive. They are piloting accounts selling ratings for RL money. Players know whats going on!
