Nice thoughts. I agree, mostly. I personally play a ton of competitive. I don't think I play much of anything else really. I'm currently level ~450 and have had to leave comp games 3-4 times ever. These were mostly due to rare power/internet outages and one family emergency. I think the leaver penalties should be different depending on how much competitive you play. If you play 10 total games a season and you leave even once, that's a problem. If you play 100-200 games and leave once, then you shouldn't incur the same penalty. Why? Because you are way more likely to have to leave if you are constantly playing competitive. You are simply much more likely to run into a power / internet outage. Just my two cents. Keep em' coming!

I agree that a rare occurrence shouldn't be met with a harsh penalty immediately. That is why I spoke of the possible Bot solution near the end of the video.
I play alot of comp as well and leavers are a real problem, especially when you sink in half a day doing competitive to loose most of the SR you just gained due to someone leaving.
Even a quick DC is enough to cause a loss. You know as well as I that in Overwatch a split second can be the difference between winning and losing.
But I don't need to explain that, you know all of that!
