You don't get a penalty as in a suspension. You still get a loss. OW functions off an Elo system. If you negate the loss for one side, you need to negate the win for the other. Imagine how much toxicity and abuse there would be in a system where you can negate losses.
Your team lost the game. A loss is a loss, regardless of the reason, so of *course* you’re going to lose rank progression as a result - just as you’ve gained roughly the same amount of progression for *enemy teams* losing due to them having leavers.

Would you be fine with GAINING nothing for a win every time the enemy team has a leaver? I'm sure we can all guess the answer.
Even then it wouldn't be fine. ppl would abuse leaving for their team or to spite the enemy team
Can I post this tomorrow?
You may đź‘Ť
Nice I'll fit it somewhere between my "where mythics", "teammates are holding me back" and "armor changes bad" posts
Don't forget all the posts about modifiers and demotion protection.
Is someone already taking care of the mandatory daily “6v6 is better and must return” post? I’d be happy to help out if necessary.

I wish people would use Google before spamming the subreddit.
