@Iverson43 The reason why you get the penalty is to detour you from just leaving. Most people who are looking to rank up want to play a lot to earn a lot of RP. Getting penalties are not fun for them so that's why not many leave in rank. If it was just point loss, then once someone rages, they're already off to the next game. I don't like the penalties either, considering the game sometimes tricks me into thinking my team is dead, and I leave and get punished for it.
Although, you must be leaving a lot. I've only left 4 ranked matches. First disconnect was a family emergency, the other 3 was me thinking the team was wiped out. The time I waited the first time was 5 minutes, since then it's been 10 minutes.
