If the whole team stays despite losing by a decent amount(which is rare), I will stay in the match. But if 2 or more people on my team leave I will too. There is literally no reason to stay at that point. I get that this is supposed to be like a more "hardcore" version of the Crucible, but this seems like an obvious flaw that should have been accounted for. Leave the masses to their own devices and they do stupid stuff like this. Maybe getting 5 rep for wearing the shader and 5 for wearing the emblem even though you lost. Just..... something....

I understand why Bungie chose to have only wins count, but as the OP stated if there is no incentive to stay players won't waste their time. The iron banner is the only place I have won by forfeit, because my team was ahead and the other team bailed. I don't blame them, as they would have just wasted their time and ours. If Bungie wants players to actually give their all, there's must be honor in defeat, otherwise they will find a new front in which they can dominate.
