Re: When your teammate(s) leave you lose RP in ranked game, but you shouldn't.

@surfFreeman 

Which league are you in? 

This is from the ranked matchmaking details:

LOSS FORGIVENESS

Similar to the Elite queue, there will be loss forgiveness in Ranked. Loss forgiveness is defined as zeroing out any potential losses in RP for a match. For example, in a Diamond match where you came in last place but had two kills, you would normally have a -2 adjustment to your RP (-4 from the Platinum entry cost, +2 for kills, for a net loss of -2). With loss forgiveness, however, you would have a net loss adjusted to 0. However, this will only apply if you stand to lose RP from the match – if you had five kills and loss forgiveness, your RP would still be net +1.

We will grant players loss forgiveness when their matchmade teammates abandon the game, and for other cases where we determine you are not to blame for leaving a game e.g. client errors. We plan to be more lenient at the start of the Series but will be vigilant in monitoring player behavior. We will become stricter about granting loss forgiveness if we detect it is being abused.

    @EA_Blueberry Hello, thank you for the quick explanation. I think I misunderstood something and it looks like everything works as it should because in total I was in "+" at the end of the match, but I thought I get forgiveness for the -1 point as well (which is the cost of the matchmaking in silver) if one of my teammates leave the game. Thank again for everything and you can close the topic if you would like.

  • So if I join a Silver Ranked Match and at the Legend Selection screen I only get one teammate and we lose right away being down a player, I’m still going to lose the rank point for the match? Doesn’t seem right to me

    This has been happening 100% of the time in silver ranked matches on PC.  My friend and I often get someone who leaves in character select, during the match, or sometimes we never have a third to being with.  If we get 0 kills and not top 10 then we always get -1 points when the loss forgiveness should be in place.  We have never had loss forgiveness.  There are many complaints about loss forgiveness not actually occurring.

    @EA_Blueberry 

    Hello, I would like to re-open this topic, because I've lost RP in Plat 4 when one of my teammate (who was already in my team in the lobby) get a client error at the start of the game, so he couldn't join, but we lost the -3 RP when we died almost at the beginning of the game to start a new match with him, because we thought we will get a loss forgiveness for that as well, but that didn't happen. So the question is, shouldn't we get loss forgiveness if one of our teammates can't join to the game because of a client error?

    Thanks in advance.

    @EA_Blueberry So basicly this morning I lost 250RP in gold 2. Had like 10 games in the raw starting as 2 people or someone leaves when game starts. And after I lost 250rp, in last 2 games I just get lost forgivnes. I really feel like someone is trying to step me back in the game. I think there are people who are able to check what happened there on my acc this morning. Cause its pointless me playing all the night game to advance and in 30min lose all RP without putting a fight out there. But I gues its all cause the game its in beta version still or I am wrong.
