There's no punishment for leaving (outside of being reported, which if you're reporting everyone who leaves, takes forever) so people just leave the game as soon as they get a role they dont like, usually NE or Maf.
IN the game Im playing as I type this, Im mafioso and GF, witch and Exe all left the game D1. This happens literally every single game. It's not fun to play, and Im just grinding out 50 games to get into Ranked, with no motivation to actually try and win the game at hand because it just comes down to a crapshoot of "how many people are gonna abandon the game and what faction are they in".
Put in a punishment for abandoning games, if there isn't one already (I wouldn't know because I havent abandoned a game). If there is one then it's clearly not working as a deterrent. This mode really, really sucks as it stands and is completely killing my desire to play the 50 games needed to leave this mess of a queue.
So you're basically assuming (with no proof) that all of these people left intentionally, and didn't just dc.
Yes, why wouldnt I? When the game starts and 3 people leave and they're all evil, every single game, you can't actually expect me to believe that all or even most of those are honest disconnects.
This isnt even touching on the other types of throwing. The amount of people I've seen just outing their maf mates D1 purposefully is unreal. Of course I report these people, but honestly I shouldn't need to be filing 3-4 reports every single game just to try and moderate my own experience.

Currently you can only be punished for leaving in two cirucmstances, as there's no way to tell a leave from a disconnection;
A.) You admit to leaving in-game.
B.) You're leaving and causing yourself to get reported an egregious amount of times.
The Devs are still working on a proper leave-buster, as the previous one failed in comparison to our needs in order to punish such a problem, however there's no word on when they'll have it ready for release.
Cheers.
Surely a simple time-out after leaving a game is better than nothing, no? Anyone who genuinely disconnected wont be bothered by a 15 minute timer before they can queue again.
And yes, I dont need to play Ranked Practice, I can play other modes, but the other modes are nowhere near as populated and the role list just isnt as fun. Saying "Well you choose to play this garbage mode" is borderline victim blaming tbh.
