Cooldown timer after teammates drop/leave is ridiculous

Team game, ally drops during the load screen. Game loads, my other two allies proceed to quit, obviously. So now I quit and bam, hit with a cooldown timer of 5 min.

Ridiculous mechanic needs to be removed.

Honestly people should lose rank in the moment they dodge once, + a timer.
For example lose 5-10 points.
2nd time within a few hours, you should lose 15 points and bigger timer and receive a warning to get a 24h ban from queuing up if you dodge a 3rd time.
Lobby dodging should be treated as something which ABSOLUTELY doesn’t happen on purpose, only when having an internet-cutout or power-cutout.
So, massive penalties are no problem.

It’s done like that in league of legends.
Plus the lobbies there are anonymous, which is the CORRECT approach.
It’s super stupid being able to see who you are playing against and encourages dodging further.

I agree, this is pretty ridiculous. I had 2 games in a row today where people left at the start of the game. This resulted in me getting a 15 minute penalty timer on top of the two free losses caused by people I don’t even know. You shouldn’t be punished for other peoples actions.

If matchmaking wasn’t as bad as it is sometimes then I wonder if people would leave less. I mean I was in a game where it was 3 gold and a bronze vs 4 bronze. Gold team destroyed them. What’s the fun in that?
