Why am I penalized in Competitive for a teammate leaving?

There is almost no chance of winning after losing one or two teammates. Why do I get penalized for someone else leaving? I understand they get penalized as well, but the remaining players should not lose any Glory upon that loss. It’s frequent enough for me to be a serious problem. Edit: I really see no good reason for this. It may not be a simple fix, but a fix should be of the most importance. It really just punishes solo queue players. Competitive is not enjoyable. Period. Edit again: I wish I could tell how many games I played that my teammates left, but Destiny Tracker doesn’t record that I think. If I had to guess, I’d say about a quarter of the about 30-40 games I played today. This system is not fair but punitive and not enjoyable in the least as a solo player. Last edit: Eh, forget it. Clearly not that important of an issue. Wasn’t aware of the apathetic complacency of the topic. Never mind, go home. Last last edit: Since more people are seeing this now. I understand the [i]obvious[/i] fix is exploitable, i.e. no lost Glory to the players that stay in the match. I believe that can be worked around. BUT there are other possible solutions. As suggested by a few people, increase the penalty for those who left with each consecutive offense. Timed bans, 30 mins of IN-GAME time for one offense, increase that time to days for consecutive offenses. Decrease the lost Glory for those who stay by a percentage according to how many people left (e.g., 25% decrease for one player left, 50% for two). Make the penalty for players who stayed reflect their [i]individual[/i] performance in the match (not the same for each player). In fact, it would be nice to see if Glory could work like this across the board. I understand this is difficult to implement, but hey it’s a suggestion.

  • Bungie should end the match with a draw if the game starts with less than 7 people or if people leave before a minute. But since that's easily abused, give them a warning, second time they'll get ban time and lose double the amount of points and third time a week ban then seasonal ban.
