Loss forgiveness/ half points on leave of a team mate would only achieve an increase of abuse of the system and also an increase in harassment towards players to quit a lost game to mitigate the point loss for others, that is not healthy to the ladder system nor the player base. I don't recall a competitive FPS online that has such system in place in their ladder. Exception happens if the system detects a cheater and removes points loss and gains likewise. What is needed to mitigate such behaviour could be: - Harsh penalties for quitters, scaling more rapidly towards sesonal bans from the ladder. - Harsh point loss for the quitting player alongside the penalty above. - Harsh penalties/point loss for reporting toxic players in chat. - Add a timer after a player leaves, which when elapsed allows the remaining player to safely quit the match without penalties but only point loss so they don't get farmed / stomped by the the other team ( This is actually used on overwatch 2 ) a quitting player can reconnect during this timer to stop it and resume the normal flow of the game.
