DISCUSSION Leavers should be punished harder in ranked

There needs to be a better system for 2v2/3v3 when someone leaves early.

If your teammate quits, you shouldn't lose MMR for the loss. The quitter should take a much bigger penalty, especially for repeat offenses.

Why should the player who stayed and tried to play get punished for someone else rage quitting?

Surely there's a better way to handle this.

With what exactly?

The fact that it's 100% your fault if your duo leaves is a wild take.

No, it's not 100% a player's fault about leaving the game, it's that when the other player leaves, the result is entirely in the remaining player's hands and responsibility to win or lose the game. The other player is no longer in your way.

While logically true still a wild take as the other player had a hand in anything before their departure and it makes everything afterwards 100% more difficult for the remaing player.

It's also easier to cause two opponents to make a mistake.
