Disable or reduce leaver's gold during the first 10 or 5min of the game.
Someone leaves and their team gets around 400-500g and an extra boost ~100g at the 5 Min mark. Now that extra 600g is difference between a tinker->Heli getting a second torp at 6min with no tank kills (leaver's gold) instead of the 10min mark with no tank kills. Or a level 6-7 Thunder Tank with two basic at the 7Min mark instead of the 10min.
Even with 3vs2 in mid. That heli with two torps and that thunder tank are still going to oneshot everyone.
Early leaver's gold also forces the other team to upgrade their tanks early. I.E. LIght hull instead of steel hull to counter getting oneshotted.
Often the team with leaver's gold can farm better, and often they force the other team to just cp camping which in turn makes their creep income less cause towers are getting the kills. But lets face it, even cp camping you're still not safe from two torps and a lvl 3 thunder strike.
It seems like the team with leaver's gold is in control the whole match just because of an early advantage.
