Fix the "I Agree" statement. You can do better.

I agree not to jeopardize the enjoyment of others, and I agree not to purposefully put them at disadvantage and waste their time in unfair matchups. I certainly do. But what about those who are stuck in an uneven game because of other players quitting? You've establised that they are the victims here, so shouldn't they be able to escape the unfair situation when someone has left?

And true, it is not too painful to wait for the surrender timeframe, even if your teammate disconnects in the first few minutes of the game. Given that, what happens when one person wants to leave this unfair, inevitable decline, and two stubborn teammates resist? Should they then be punished for prolonging an unfair game? For wasting their comrades time? Why not?

Should you throw a blanket statement at those that leave afterward, telling them, whom you have marked as victims, that hey are now at fault for* refusing to play an unfair game to it's unhappy completion*? I understand that a little bit of unfairness is tolerable in the system. Matchmaking is a good example of that. **What I don't understand is the insensitive, forced, blanket statement, that gives no credence to actual events.

I can't agree more. The argument that "you can still win 4v5s" doesn't mean a thing in the face of having to push yourself and stress over trying to maintain solid ground on a slippery slope. It doesn't matter which way you cut it, a 4v5 is an uphill battle and uphill battles are never fun.

Sure it's great if you can pull it off. You feel accomplished. But unless I see numbers that state that there's more than maybe a 5% chance that you can win a 4v5 if the enemies don't get cocky and start making mistakes, you shouldn't be trapped in a game with someone else who's left it.
