i agree - i think if a player leaves in under 60 seconds it should not count towards a loss. I usually can decide in that time if the connections are good enough. Allows you to assess if people dropped on the loading screen ect.

Another issues i had the last few games was this:

1. Perfect game (this was a 5v5) and then someone had to leave. No lag issues or sim speed ect. Game was indeed perfect (including player skill ect).

Then a player had to leave and Boom entire game dropped. I was wondering with this new connection system where you can connect through other players, if that player leaves and you connected through them, then you will drop too.

Will that then count against you as a disconnect.

I've had people rage quit within 60 seconds because I killed them...

when peeps rage quit i just make them eat it, or at least their teammtes 

Also, what about desyncs? I had a game today, where I dominated the enemy mid game with 5 smites in succsession after which 2 of the enemies rage-quitted. My allies quit the game after that too and then the game desynced. I wanted to finish the game with the last remaining enemy, but couldn't. And now it counts as a loss.

Don't worry, that game you left probably didn't count as a loss. 

It might have even counted as a win!

Anger quit. Or how about mad quit?

Meh, I like anger quit better. But nice attempt.

Anyways, an "abandon the game" button would certainly be useful, although you would probably have a hard time getting everyone to agree, so it should probably be a majority vote. Half the players on one side and half on the other.

Gah, I hate when that happens and I do the same thing. More than half of my losses are due to unfair match-ups. Perhaps we could report unfair matches so they don't get added to our games list or stats. Although that would probably result in thousands of reports a day, with people screaming about how "THE UB IS OP!!!" and all that.

In Dota we call them "leavers"

Don't know why people invented a new term.

Because its more fun to say R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-RAGE QUIT!

If you leave right after dying, saying shit or not, its a rage quit.

This is hardly the norm. IMO the ability to leave a lagtastic game within 60 seconds far outweighs the problem of rage quitters leaving within that same minute.

Agree.

I don't wanna sit through a really laggy game, or slow games cus of someone having negative simspeed.

We shouldn't be punished for that imo.

But this whole subject is really quite complex, giving the amount of reasons, one can choose to quit. Sometimes it can simply be your connection that fails in the middle of a game.
