Beta League

[Equiem]

the penalty for leaving should be not getting the points if your team wins after you leave and losing twice the amount of points then normal if your team loses.

2 points here:

*If you hurt your team a lot by leaving you should get punished additionally. If your team loses after you left, you probably are part of the reason they lose. If it still wins, your leave probably didn't effect them to much.

*A lot of leavers leave as soon as they think the game is lost and not because they got to go (or something similar). By punishing losing leavers additionally we have a countermasure to that. (For example I remember in one of the previous beta rankings which was not made public we had a well known player with exactly as much left games as lost games.)

Problem is when you get kicked for whatever reason there might be and then your team looses after that. You basically get punished twice for something you cannot do anything about. Seeing as there is no difference in lost points between being kicked/disconnecting or just plain leaving.
Adding another penalty on top of that would be quite annoying for someone that never leaves but gets kicked once in a while.
