Serious ranked teamgame overhauls needed

Im someone who usually likes to play teamgames as they are most enjoyable to me, at least usually, however this game has serious problems that need adressed in teamgames. The first is afk players and people leaving at the start of the match, this just ruins the experience and often gives other players leaving (not going to drag out a 1v4 obviously) a matchmaking cooldown. The game needs a few things to fix this, an option to joinback say for people crashing (games like counterstrike and marvel rivals do this for comp). Serious bans for people constantly being reported for being afk or leaving, leading up to permanent bans. People have said oh some players have lives or kids they need to attend to, ok dont queue for ranked then pretty simple, if they dont get any punishment for it, their just gonna keep doing it. If someone leaves in the first few minutes and doesnt join back, the game can end with no one receving a win or loss, except the one who left, easy solution. The other thing is balanced lobbies, queue dodging was only a big issue for teamgames because the lobbies were often wildly imbalanced, anyone whose diamond or conq knows exactly the impact 1 player can have on a whole game, if one team has a gold or plat mixed with diamond/conq, it creates very one sided games, now imagine if say one team has 2 plats 2 diamond, the other 1 conq 3 diamonds, its barely even worth trying. The new feature the devs implemented to hide peoples ranks feels like a bandaid over this problem. I get people queue up in pre made teams obviously, so sometimes lobbies will be imbalanced, but anyone who plays teamgames frequently will know this does not apply to every imbalanced lobby, as sometimes lobbies will dissolve and be created again with the teams switched up again. I hope the devs can take the teamgame ranked situation a little more seriously as it can be very frustrating to play sometimes.
