I think you should loss protection if any player not in your fireteam leaves at any point. If your fireteam member leaves, no loss protection for you! Keep in mind that these rules will drive up the average Comp rank. The easier it is for players to keep / earn points, the higher the average Comp rank. Personally, I dislike how easy it is to reach Ascendant now. I don't like seeing "bad" players reach the supposed pinnacle of PVP.

There's point protection if your teammate leaves within around the first 90 seconds of a match. I don't think Bungie will ever extend it to the entire length of the match, but I wouldn't be opposed to it being 2.5 or 3 minutes. I don't think we'll ever get this though. D2 Comp is probably non-existent to Bungie. As far as points go, Bungie has made two or three passes on points gained and lost. I feel like it's far better than it used to be. But still, I've found out that it's heavily k.d dependent. If your teammates leave, and you stay in the match and get farmed 20 times with 5 kills, you'll lose like 102 points, whereas if you would have just left the match, you'll only lose like 90 points, so it's Ironically better to leave matches before they end if you're at less than a 1.00 k.d.

Not really playing but jumped in a few days ago ….holy moly what a tedious mess ! As soon as the game would start people would leave ….due to playing against undesirable players or map . Just pointless cause every game is the same , it’s been the same meta for other a year so just boring as hell . Theo later base for pvp is small now so just the same people . Must admit didn’t see the usual hardcore sweats ….must of moved over to marathon. Just sad to see Bungie slowly imploding .
