@TBTFWYes, streamers probably do affect the vanity or wannabes. I have thought about this interaction myself as well.
@E9ine_ACSo a solution is to penalize the K/D. The real K/D should be K/(D+L) and also have Stayer % also as an indipendent stat. "Stays 90% of the rounds." (Number of rounds stayed/Total rounds played)%. Maybe also on the banner a "stayer/leaver" bar that indicates how much of a stayer the player is. I want to be rewarded for staying with stats and other things, but the way the game is designed now; it simply dont care and thats a major game design flaw. The finishers doesnt really help on the leaving. Why sit and wait for someone to finish you. Its easier to just leave and not have to be humiliated. So the Respawn devs also want to rub it in the players face and almost force them to be inclined to leave from a psycological side.
@TBTFWIf its not even effective and as I also figured a scare tactic, they many want to allocate more resources into something heavier, but rewards for players that stay.
