  I was playing ranked lobby i join at 2-5 i didnt even play a round and i lost 50 points? i spectated a round, and then my team, lost on 1v2 and then i lost 50 points, or if you join late like this you dont lose as many points or its void? As i dont think it fair to lose point when i didnt even play a round. I think you shouldnt join ranked midgame :) But other than this love the game so far, still very new but enjoying it a lot!

  There should also be penalties for players who intentionally leave ranked matches. Players who leave a ranked game before it is finished could receive a temporary matchmaking ban, a rank-point penalty, or another appropriate punishment. The severity of the penalty could increase if a player repeatedly leaves matches. At the same time, the system should ideally account for genuine disconnects or technical issues so that players are not unfairly punished for something outside their control. A proper leaver-penalty system would discourage players from abandoning matches and would make ranked games more fair and enjoyable for everyone.

  Hello dear developers, I am doing this post for you because I am starting to get seriously annoyed by the problems mentioned in the subject. Too often when a team loses in competition, a player leaves the session and leaves his teammate alone against the opponents. Whether it is intentional or not, it penalizes the "Elo" of those who remain. If it had to end there, that would be fine, but it could be worse! It is possible to join a session where you lose and the teammate who was alone waits for a new player to join him in order to leave the game, making a direct defeat and a degrade for the one who has just joined. I don’t know if you can punish withdrawals in competition much more severely or not (by impacting their Elo and/or their Reissard points, for example), but keep in mind that this game mode has such a strong impact that it’s ultimately a bit random to gain prestige. I also suggest that the game be in "Stand-bye" as long as one player is missing. Thank you for reading me and I hope something will be done about this mode, which seems a bit important to me. Have a nice day and good luck dear developers.

  Playing competitiv does not feel sirius. Team8s leaving when ever without any major penalty. Such behavior is okay when playing deathmatch but not competitiv.

  As it stands you can't but it should be a thing

  Would be appropriate to implement cause anyone with a set amount of elo can get matched up with anyone, even people just trying out the game

  Matches should ideally pair players with others of a similar rank or skill level. When beginners first start playing, they should mainly face other beginners. As they improve and rank up, they should gradually be matched against stronger and more experienced players. This would create a more organic progression system, allowing players to improve at their own pace while keeping matches competitive and enjoyable at every level.

  An option for 2v2 Wingman. So players can form a duo before matchmaking instead of always solo queuing. It makes the mode more social, more fun, and a lot more player-friendly.

  If a player joins a competitive match and leaves because the opponents are clearly too difficult or skilled, they should lose rank points.
