Match Quitters need to Stop, No-Contest Result please
When people leave mid-match, the match gets cancelled. No win or loss to either side and just return to orbit with a No-Contest result with a temp trials ban on the offender.
Harsher impacts on repeat offenders and people who leave in winning matches.
Or for better nuance, people who leave mid-match later in a game do NOT cancel the match, but if the winning team then loses, the loss is not counted or considered a Mercy while the opposite team still gets their win.

Midmatch leaving is not a big deal. Why do you chose to be selfish and want someone to partake in your misery. Let them leave and help another group they feel can win. You also benefit when someone else leaves a match and joins up with you later. When 5 people spawn in at the very start I agree but not midway
