A lot of people do not like mirror matches, so they just leave and start a new game. Maybe that's it?

Because they want to 'demote' themselves so they can work they way back up again even though they'll get back to where they were before in about a day.

That happends in all leagues I do that sometimes in diamond... its becuase I dont feel like playing a matchup or I realise I dont want to play when the game starts and just queued up without thinking.

Portrait farming.

As far as I gather, they have a bot running that insta-leaves all games to tank their MMR until their MMR is so low that they all meet other people running bots, and then sometimes randomly wait a bit longer than normal, so that they'll win that game.

That way, they can leave it running to quickly get portraits for x wins etc etc.

Note that we have "portrait farming" in TL too. Some people will make dumb threads, or reply something like "Nice/interesting thread" just to get their "avatar" to move all the way to a carrier. Nice use of your time, guys.

+1 (to my post count :-D).

Without doing a search, I am quite confident that there a plenty threads about people leaving and ofc. as others wrote, it's just for win-farming.

Yeah,most of the times that's the reason.At least that's what the 2 people i asked told me.

Nothing wrong with that though,free wins!

I saw a guy playing random, but leaving when he got P/Z, just to get the portrait(probably not the smartest way) .

That way you farm both the random and the terran portraits though.
