Why am I not allowed to leave if someone has left a Competitive Match?

[Monkaz]

If someone in my team leaves, why can't I?

Scenario:

Someone in my team leaves
They get a MM cooldown
1 in team decides to push on, ignores surrender vote
Everyone gets rektd

Why is it that I'm forced to play with BOTs & the last remaining players,
Spending the remaining match getting stomped on. It makes no sense,
The leaver got his cooldown and now I'm stuck here forever in a whole game that's a genocide.
I'm living through more turmoil then the leaver, he/she can go make a sandwich or something and me? Well, I have the privilegie to be skull♥♥♥♥ed for 30 rounds.
I'm punished for someone else leaving the game.

Because CS:GO Matchmaking system could use a ton of work.

EDIT: But in all honesty, when someone leaves the rest of the players should get a free pass (obviously punishing the leaving player).

Also, the current smurf countering mechanics of the matchmaking system is completely broken. You're a higher rank than some of your friends? Too bad, buy a new account so you can play with them for a few games until you have to buy another one.
It's truly surprising given that Valve has a perfectly (well not really, but at least working) matchmaking system in DOTA and then decides to completely ignore that and try to reinvent the wheel again.

When you play [READY] you agree to play the WHOLE Match doesn't metter what.
If someone leave the match, you can surrender, but you can't leave.
It's not because someone did wrong you can do wrong, doesn't make any sense.

If your team don't want to surrender, you can play the match or leave it, but if you leave it you will be banned as the first players.

You should read GUIDES about Competitive Matches Rules,
if you don't like those rules, you shouldn't play Competitive Matches.

It's not because someone was wrong you earn the right do to wrong, also, this makes no sense.

Just go win the game. I have won games with 3 bots on my team before. It isn't that hard to win with a bot. Just make sure one of your best 2 players gets it.

I've read and understand the rules.
It's just my personal opinion that the part I was addressing earlier punishes players for someone else leaving and that is bad.

Your answer implies that the player who stuck with the game trying to perhaps win a losing game gets punished when one of his teammates leaves.

You agree to play a whole match because you expect all of your teammates to be present all through it, once any of them leaves and break this agreement they also nullify the agreement for the other players. This gives the winning team a "free win" and the losing team "free pass" not to sit through a losing/boring game.

It's really not that hard, Valve is using this in DOTA 2. Sure, it sucks when someone leaves and you have to just jump to the next game and play it from the start. But it sure is a hell of a lot better than sitting through a game with people flaming comms because someone left.

I skimmed through the Guide to the cool down system but that all seems completely irrelevant. The cooldown system is fine, the system for what happens to the reamining players is not.

It's not about "If someone did something wrong you can do wrong" It's about not having the rest of the players suffer a boring match. It's not fun to play vs or with bots. You're answer was a conservative one because you seem afraid of change. It completely ignored the issue that was mentioned.

Because winning 4 v 5 is completely 100% possible.

Of course it's possible, it's possible to win 1v5 if you're good enough. But not everyone is. Another answer that really doesn't present any argument.
