When a player on your team throws, disconnects, or goes AFK, it doesn't seem like they are being punished. The only ones who suffer are the players who stay and play. When is something actually going to be done about this?
I just lost 27 RR because two teammates were arguing. One threatened to disconnect and did. In the next round, another player said "This is why Valorant sucks" and disconnected. A third player said they would sit in spawn. The rest of the game was two versus five, and somehow I'm the one who loses 27 points for staying and playing. This is incredibly frustrating. I'm tired of earning a star and still getting negative RR just because I refuse to throw or go AFK. Three out of my last four games have been ruined by teammates like this. Why are players who follow the rules being punished more than those who break them?
Riot needs to adjust the RR system. Don't say it can't be done. It absolutely can. If someone disconnects, they should be restricted to non-ranked play. If someone intentionally throws, even once, they should be banned from ranked. Stop being lenient with repeat offenders. We all know this isn't the first time those players have done it.
Punish the right people, not the ones who are still in the game. To the players who quit or throw, it reflects poor character and a weak mind.
