Just lost 2 matches back to back because 50% of my team left in the span of 5 minutes, and of course they were repleaced by useless bots. And what had the devs done about it so far? They slapped -20% exp penalty for deserters and said “Yep! that will show em!” and called it a day.
If devs don’t want to give real punishment for deserters, that’s fine by me but at least players who stick around in deserting team should be compensated. After all they are in a huge disadvantage and often lose the game.
I propose to give every single player 20-25% exp and silver boost for completing a match for EVERY single player that left their team.
Would you like to see such change in the game?

This could be easily exploited.
Desertion is a way to keep mental sanity in this game.
Game puts me in an already started battle and our team has already lost 75% of the cap => I desert
I build a rally point at the start of the game, meanwhile my team already lost the first cap, with the enemy still at 1000 tickets => I desert
My team refuses to push the cap, I am the only one building rally points for them, I constantly find myself alone in the enemy cap => I desert
Game puts me in a team with 6-8 console players, while enemy team has just 1-2 => I desert

What was map and game mode?
I’ve been playing for years and can count on one hand how many times i’ve been put in a game that was already started.

Happens to me a lot, one or more times per day, especially Conquest games, but also other modes.
ive said the same thing about giving the players that stay a bonus even if its a small one but nothing came of it.

Well, what did you expect? Players drop out of matches when they run into full platoons or end up on a weak team—there’s nothing you can do about it. They leave because they don’t want the extra stress.
I personally like the challenge (but yeah, not a fan of desertion).
I think I may have issues… 
I would take 1000 silver from each one who deserts, distributing it among those who stayed until the end + what you say in the post.
What you’re saying is 10 times worse if you play on console with crossplay disabled. Believe me.
