Don’t do it, blow up your base and wait the minute. It could be the difference between losing 12 and 60.
I would like to add that resigning in RTS is perfectly okay, once you know the game is lost. I assume this is to help stop quitters in team games, but they can still blow up their base and wait a minute with no penalty. I don’t see the need to penalize it.
Source/proof?
My partner and I played against the Esl guys in 2’s day of patch. First game we resigned and lost 60 CSR and during the second game we lost without resigning and lose 12 CSR. I have noticed this in 1v1 as well. I have not played same person twice with drastic different CSR loses in 1v1. The two times I resigned I lost 60 CSR and that is by far the most I have lost in any loss. Seems you lose at least 60 CSR if you resign.
My proof is only anecdotal and I refuse to test it out further, but I feel my case is pretty strong. If anyone has noticed something similar let me know or 343 official response on the matter would be great.
EDIT: ESL guys are rank 1 on leaderboards so losses should be minimal. On a side bragging not my partner and I are rank 5 in 2’s!

The gentleman resign, only those non-salty, respectful, players do it. It is a good move indeed
As is should be to curb quitters. Blowing up bases at the end is respectable if all is lost.
You can lose a pretty higher amount of CSR for mismatched games, but I got OOS disconnected from a game (right as it loaded in, first time that happened) and lost 62 CSR against a decently ranked team so yeah I believe that.
Ya but sometimes Rage/Quiting is needed when you built up 3 bases and have a decent army upgraded army. Then you look over and your ally has 4 marines and 4 supply pads and a generator on 1 base and he’s getting swarmed #Rant 
My main issue is with low rank players quitting the game during leader selection. I have been told that they get a loss and a heavy penalty to their CSR (cannot confirm this) but I feel that we should get a win for it. It would mean that the quitters are better off playing in case they happen to win. Last night in 2v2 ranked, we had over 10 people in a row just quit the game when they matched us. Took over 20 minutes to match people that wanted to play us.
I feel that you should get 1 free game to quit/resign per day in case of disconnect and then be heavily penalised after that.
Just bumping because I have noticed this come up multiple times. 343 should noy penalize for resigning in an RTS game.
