When someone quits, either the game mode switches to Slayer or it just ends with an inconclusive result. Maybe some kind of fail safe it doesn’t work in the final moments of the game, or only works for the first 5/10 minutes. but SOMETHING to please just speed things up when someone leaves there is no way of winning obj and slayer maybe but it just feels so deflating.

you are talking about ranked i assume? Since social has JIP, so your team should be restored to the correct number again.
But i would agree that there should be a sollution to imbalanced matches (in the amount of players) in ranked.

Matches would just abruptly end left and right. People would tolerate this for about two seconds before it became unbearably annoying to put up with.
What they could do instead is allow for a vote to forfeit, if the match becomes obviously one sided. Allowing the match to end at the played choice, so all parties can move on quicker to their next match.

For sure it would rattle things, I could see people abusing it too. I think the vote would be amazing, vote to end the game, where maybe the side that has less players has stronger voting value
On the ranked side of things when there is no gain or lose of CSR I think that ending the game would be beneficial, but then people would take advantage of that. There really is no good solution to this challenge other than trying to get a solid team that is committed and play with them.

I agree if someone quits, reward the winners and have a system that does not punish those that seethe game out to harshly.
Do not send in your bots, had a quitter we were winning then a 343 not showed up and went 3-12 and lost us the match !

Something needs to happen.
The option to rejoin would be welcome.
But also keep the game even/interesting in the meantime.
Make it 3v3 (the extra player can rotate off the bench with each death). Or at least remove the power weapons and equipment from the map.
Or adjust the target scores (lower for the small team) or have faster points (eg. double points for holding the ball).
I think this is a great idea.
Objective games are nigh on impossible when you are outnumbered (especially when the team has control of power weapons and equipment). But Slayer at least has some wiggle room.

This is a great suggestion. There have been many times where i would love to forfeit a match instead of finishing it out the long hard way

I agree bots suck. Currently bots dont enter ranked matches so thats a plus

Other options could be someone from opposing team gets kicked at random, or everyone gets 10 CSR for staying in the game no more no less
Always happy to reward the player who stays. Often that is better incentive than penalising the player that leaves.
But awarding CSR is only going to frustrate people. As soon as you lose the next game or two it will just move back towards the MMR as hard as it can.
I’ve watched literally dozens of competitive gaming communities ask for “vote to forfeit” when someone leaves a match. I have no idea why it hasn’t really been tried much.
The few games I did see it implemented in some fashion (usually a map change that filled the empty slots during the load") were met with overwhelming positive sentiment too
Why not replace quitters with bots in ranked?
Instead of an empty slot
