I hate having people leave mid game only for the people who stay to suffer from the loss. Can this be fixed already, either make us not lose points or make the game not count towards your rank. This why i hate ranked so damn much, only doing it for challenges and still is such a stupid experience.
But you lost, so you should lose rank. Leavers don’t usually leave because they’re winning.
Best thing you can do when someone leaves is get the loss over as fast as possible in objective (but know any half baked team should easily still win any mode 3v4).
3v4 sure, but 2v4 is pretty much undoable, which is what ive experience the past few games. " You lost, you should lose rank" is a pretty stupid take on leavers in ranked, being put at a literal disadvantage because of people quitting or afk should not affect your rank, especially since there is no backfill, ability to rejoin, or bots to take a leavers place.
I meant 3v4 the 3 should lose 100% of the time. So you might as well give up and get the game over unless the team of 4 are clueless. Should the winning team when there is a quitter get nothing because the other team had a leaver?
When someone leaves in the majority of cases, the disadvantage has already begun and the match is usually secured. I’d also argue someone capable of quitting is not capable of a comeback in a game they had already deemed over for themselves.
You are at a disadvantage but chances are you were losing that game anyway. If games with quitters weren’t penalised then players would be too high a rank as so many losses would be invalidated. Could be abused by people to avoid rank loss for others too.
The only time where I think this could apply is when a player leaves immediately as game starts and it is 3v4. The game might as well end and search restarted. If kills take place on an opening rush and someone quits then the game should be valid and continue even if it is just a handful.
In terms of quitters you’re more likely to receive the benefit of a quitter on the other team than the negative affect of one on your own team, provided you aren’t a quitter. Every game the enemy has 4 players who might quit, but your team only has 3. So most players on average should see more benefits of the system than negatives as you gain rank when you won 3v4, just as you lose rank when you lose 3v4.
If players didn’t gain rank when someone quits, you’d probably see a leaver in 90%+ of ranked matches.
this is happening nearrly every game now…its not people quiting its the servers booting people… it literaqlly unplayable…this is happening at leas 50% of time in ranked and no im not making that up/
A couple of days ago I ended p 2v4 in oddball… and the enemy team tried to milk the game for kills. So I had to spend 10 mins (2x rounds) in survival mode. It was pretty sucky.

Yeah, people would definitely pair up and the smurf would leave once the loss became imminent. We don’t need that kind of abusing the ranked system.
I am glad that 343 is talking about bringing in a rejoin feature. It’s rare, but I get disconnected about 1/20 matches and once your CSR starts to plateau that loss becomes pretty significant.
I leave 2v4’s and my rank doesn’t go down.
Know what you mean. Was a few time in the same situation.
When this happens, i just stick to one of my comrade or chose a place where i can control a little bit.
I assume they were planning to bump their K/D and rank up.
Joke’s on them though. I went into survival mode. Managed to go 16 and 16. And since the metric is K/min more then K/D - the extra 10 minutes they took probably cost them rank overall.
