Abandoning before 5 minutes and first blood
Hello there, before 5 minutes and first blood into the game, we have offlane PL and the draft was bad, so I abandoned even before the game start. I understand MMR will not be reduced but am I still need to play low priority single draft as penalty? This is the second time I abandoned for the same reason for this month.

Everyone in dota has important stuff to do.. if we remove low priority, then no match will ever begin in the first place. You had pl on offlane, someone ordered a pizza, someone had to fight an alligator etc

They penalise abandons harder than griefing because so many people play on McDonalds wifi and Intel graphics cards. If somebody disconnects they absolutely aren't fixing that ♥♥♥♥ before the match is over (so please stop pausing for them).

Yes, you do.

And either you accept that - or quit Dota 2.

Abandoning a game means 4 other people got an auto-loss, and it's griefing. Dota 2 doesn't have a way to replace a player that abandoned with an AI Bot. And that would still be unfair.

Your alternative option is to queue with 4 friends instead, where there is an option to call /gg and the game ends in 10 seconds, and it's more fun and less draft-problematic to deal with.

If the match counts, then your MMR usually depends on if your team wins or loses without you. If you abandon though I think it automatically counts as a loss.

I mean like, I get it, I should be punished, but man, I am playing serious and there is the guy, may be more than one, throwing the game and let the enemy win for free. Should I still play waste my time and try to win. If my team played well and we lose because the enemy is better than us, then be it. What do you mean consequence of my action. The game hasn't been started yet.

When someone leave before first blood or 5 minutes mark, the game doesn't count. MMR will not be reduced from all players.

I dont know about 5 min or first blood, but i remember that was abandoning before min 0. before golds spawn. i dont know if they changed it or not. so try it at your own risk.

You have abandoned twice in the space of a month and somehow shocked that you're in low priority?
Abandoning is one of the more serious offences in game and has a large punishment assigned to it. Your reasoning for abandoning is ridiculous, if it is such an issue that people play to your requirements then you can either a) play in a stack or b) play ranked roles.
Even then you're not really in any sort of position to assess peoples picks and pass judgement before the game even begins.

Try and keep this in mind for future reference:-
constant abandoning = low prio
Ok I don't know how it really works but here is my one time experience. A player started intentional feeding and giving our wards to enemies. I reported him then abandoned. I got one lp game. Didn't want to play single draft at the time so left. Came back next day got a notification, action taken against greifer. And my lp was gone. Also, I had 12000 behavior score at the time, before abandon
