What does the other team get for voting for that? Why would they pass up a "guaranteed" win given how important they are. What do you consider "instantly"?
If we're talking about people leaving before the match starts then that's fine and I would say that the match just ends or everyone else can leave (like in DF) with no penalty. But the problem is people leaving DURING a match, that's where the discussion is. Someone sees that their team is trash and they're going to lose, so they leave.
In general I agree with this. Heavily penalize the person who left, lock them out of queuing for PvP for 30 minutes like DF, and once someone leaves everyone else can leave with no penalty.
That would suck for people that get legitimately disconnected, so maybe have an escalation system:
1st leave: Counts as a loss
2nd leave: Lose a riser
3rd+ Leave: Lose a riser + locked out for 30 min.
STILL sucks for people who get disconnected though, that's the only thing. That's what makes this a difficult problem. Them not losing anything is wrong for sure though.
