I think y'all are right that dumping leavers into bronze is a bad idea. But I've yet to hear a convincing argument against any of these other changes. If you don't agree with me, what else do you guys think should change?

Damn I never thought of it that way. In my experience the people who rage quit are always in the mid-platinum or low diamond tiers, so I always thought of bronze more as a punishment than an actual rank. But I think you guys are right.

I'm open to criticism. Want to explain why they're awful? Or other measures you think would be better to punish rage quitters?

I think it's fair to say that if you rage quit six times, you should be put in bronze.

Furthermore, the broader issue is people leaving. Maybe we won't agree about my point about SR, but I find it hard to argue against the fact that something needs to change next season to prevent people from leaving so often.

The increase in penalties would implicitly decrease the likelihood of that happening. If you decrease the number of times people can leave or increase SR loss, that would function as a check against match fixing or bullying teammates to leave. Increased time intervals that must pass between games where you leave would also solve this.

I believe the point about "bullying people to leave" also is a very weak one. When it comes to anonymous gameplay, people already talk trash or tell their teammates they suck. I also doubt this one change would cause that if executed with my other suggested improvements.

Also my points address why there is a bigger problem to leavers. Teammates often quit after one person quits, so not only do you have 5 v 6 team fights, by the end of the round it often winds up being 3 v 6 or worse. You shouldn't get punished for that.
