In order to make the rating system as fair as possible, we adjust the rating numbers in these cases.
* Suggestion by heyrandompeople * (slightly modified so leaver players do not get overpunished)
- Normal 3v3 replay - full rating applied
- The Commanders and CommandersHeroic game modes count for the Cmdr rating
- The Standard game mode counts for the Std rating
- One player left the game 90 seconds before the end of the game
- For the leaver player, the game counts as a loss (full score)
- The winning team receives a normal rating
- The change in player rating for the loser team is halved
- One player left the game 90 seconds before the end of the game on each team
- For the leaver players, the game counts as a loss (full score)
- The winning team receives a normal rating
- The change in player rating for the loser team is halved
- Two player left the game 90 seconds before the end of the game on the same team
- For the leaver players, the game counts as a loss (full score)
- The winning team receives a normal rating
- The change in player rating for the loser team is halved
- This rule is also applied on games with three or more leavers.
Given that the changes being implemented apply universally to all players and that individual player ranks would not be significantly affected, I still believe it is preferable to maintain the current approach of handling leavers, albeit with a reduced impact on all players. The ultimate goal is to discourage any instances of players leaving games on either team.
By minimizing the impact of leavers on the overall experience, we aim to create an environment where the occurrence of such behavior is strongly discouraged. This approach maintains fairness and ensures that the integrity of the game is preserved for all participants, regardless of whether they are on the team with the leaver or not.
