Where's The Loss Forgiveness?

Been playing ranked this evening, where the first few matches, I felt like I was in the zone and I was doing well. Dare I even say, I was having fun. Then after 3 matches of fun, I had a match where the game didn't give me a 3rd teammate, and the 2nd teammate left before we jumpped out of the dropship.

After the match, I looked at the recap, and it said I got 10 points for placement, but nothing else was displayed. It said nothing about loss forgiveness for not having a full team, and nothing for the fact that the 2nd ditch me the moment they were able to.

So, in short; If I didn't get placement, I would of lost points due to the game's faulty matchmaking system. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

@OldTreeCreeper You mean when both randoms are in a party together? I've had that happen before during promotional trials. Its not fun at all.

@Midnight9746 I was put in as part of a random duo instead of a trio in the trials. Lost 500 points....

I believe if not mistaken they "lowered the amount" in other words removed it

@drevinum9 They could of at least given us controllable teammates like how it was in mobile version. When you lose someone, their legend becomes a bot that you can control. It wasn't perfect, but it was nice. Also, if I recall correctly, when you're killed off, you can play as the bot themselves to recover your banner card and keep going.

@OldTreeCreeperIn the promo trials for gold. First run through, I'm not going to rank up. So far, I've played 4 matches and in each match, teammates were useless, and then I got aimbotted by cheaters who were wall hacking.

Edited: 5th match, one of the randoms crashed and burned horribly and then it was just a duo match for the rest of the game and the other random pushed a full squad by themselves, where one of the enemy players had aimbot, as they 1 clipped the random, reloaded, and then one clipped me, reloaded, and then snapped to someone hiding behind a railing, and one clipped them.

Matchmaking: 0/10
Anti-cheat: 0/10
Fun: N/A

@Midnight9746 gave it another go yesterday. Bronze with 7 attempts.

Got 1 kill, 1 top 5 and wasn't allowed to play the 7th match for some reason. It was like playing at Diamond in previous seasons. I thought the quick snap was pc players with their mouse at 16k.

I might have been one of those useless teamates 😃

At the end of the first trial I got -1 point, then promptly lost a load more in subsequent games. This one I got -7.....

@OldTreeCreeper Some of the players may be legitimate, as there's something called "flicking the mouse".

However, when a player goes from one target, to the next, without missing a shot, (especially when they suddenly lock onto someone who's further away, including ones who were mostly hidden), that's just cheating.

The one who shot down the random, then me, and then the one who was behind the railing. I was able to see the 3rd player's death from the cheater's POV. The player wasn't directly visible on the screen, then suddenly the cheater turned about 30° to the left, aimed down sights for a split second, and headshotted the player into a deathbox. I didn't even see the player behind the railing, I only saw the deathbox fly into the air, hitting the ground, as a character who looked like Mirage fell to the floor.
