[LTD] Elo exploit and thoughts on leavers

Just curious why drawing the game isn't mandatory when theres an afker, desync or leaver at the beginning of the game which happens very often? Isn't this an elo exploit? People who duo queue can deny all draw requests when there's a leaver on the other team, but always receive a draw when there's a leaver on their team. They basically get a free win every couple games with no tradeoffs.

Also starting the game 3v4 isn't fun for either side. A fun game should be balanced where each team has equal opportunity to win. Imagine playing chess without a queen. You just have to sit through the game while the opponent slowly takes his time destroying you.

I'm posting this because i recently just came across two very toxic players who abused this exploit to get high elo and make me sit through a game i was not going to win. Not only was the experience a waste of time, but now i'm questioning whether my hard earned elo even means anything.

I guess it doesnt matter though since bots are going to get wrecked in the next patch

@coolyoshi1 if you search the archive you will find several topics with reasons for why it have been denied.
Main reason is that it is too easy for people to abuse.

-> Why would they always recieve a draw just because theyre duo queueing ? Makes no sense.

If we make a draw mandatory peple can just leave or plug pull in order to avoid loosing elo.

and you dont have to sit in 3v4 games in LTD, you can just leave and wont get banned.
