Oh, I missed this thread entirely yesterday - apologies! Spent some time reading it all…
I don’t disagree with the premise, of course we’d rather fix/look into glitches, but different departments do different things. They wouldn’t have overlap in this case, and it would at least contribute to prevent the large number of deserters. To what extent? Unsure, it’s not something easily measurable, but something that could be done.
What I mean is a mode where “streamers” (or anyone, note this was just the name of the feature, and it’s not actually just intended for streamers but can be used for all players and there are reasons to to help prevent desertion, an “anonymous” mode essentially) can hide their name from other people, and get allocated a random name (similar to harmonization of names, but in reverse). This would prevent desertions happening right at the start of the game, but might not overly help with mid-game desertions, since by this point the strength of each team is usually known by players. Therefore, it’s not perfect, but it’s something to help combat deserters.
My own opinion, but I doubt this matters much. I don’t think an increase in Silver/XP for those remaining will do anything to combat deserters. I don’t wholly like the idea of some kind of punishment for deserters either, but it seems better than nothing, and depends on what it really entails. A dev blog should help with this relatively soon. Though no matter how it’s done, I can see people not being fully supportive of it - it’ll be something else quite mixed, I expect. The idea of making matches that see fewer desertions is super important though I think for the future of the game.
This would make MGs not as useful IMO, and make the game even more SMG-focused. Not entirely, but that’s what I’d expect. MGs in my opinion should be receiving buffs (just my own thought).
But generally I do think reducing dispersion (not removing it entirely, but making it across the board lower for increased recoil across the board) would be very interesting. A number of things would improve as a result I’d think for all players of the game.
I wrote a bit incorrectly on the feedback section here - but BP camos specifically are the ones that affect it more than standard camos, which is nice.
That’s kind of the idea - I’m up for trying anything though in terms of suggestions within reason. But I wouldn’t be able to show some with too much swearing or something like this, so there are caveats. 
Could be quite interesting actually. The success of this depends on the number and quality of submissions though - not everyone is an artist, and some may use AI in fact which defeats the purpose of what you were trying to get past, so it’s not perfect.
Feel free to post in a thread if anything needs clarification!
Happy to where I can mention things. However, “feelings” that some people aren’t too positive are not really something I can address. I get it, but equally me saying anything won’t help. It’s more down to the updates of the game going forwards and whether those help.
