Teammates disconnecting but I get punished?

Hi, so recently been getting teammates who either disconnect on purpose or by accident within the first 2 minutes, causing us to be in a 3v2 situation, making it so I’m stuck in a losing game, and if I decide to leave, I’m punished to the same extent as the first guy who left - How is this acceptable for ranked multiplayer? It basically allows people to grief other players trying to rank up.

In Rocket League, for example, you have a system where if a player on your team leaves a ranked game e.g. a disconnect or abandoned the match on purpose, the other player(s) on the team can freely leave without loss of rank/points and the other team still gets rewarded with a win.

I’m just wondering why HW2 doesn’t have a system like that in place, I guess. It’s very frustrating when you’re constantly worrying if your teammates are gonna disconnect within the first 5 minutes or not and it really kills the fun.

P.S. not everyone can find someone to team with if they play at different and random times during the day, just see it said a lot on this forum.

if you recycle your base and “lose” before leaveing you won’t get the extra punishment just a standard loss. It’s an annoying work around as you have to either wait a minuite or lose your starting units but it is a workaround.

If you find this frustrating and can’tr be bothered to find a team there is also the option of playing 1v1.
