Why leave == lose? in General Discussion

    Played Jakiro. We dominated. Away from the computer for 5 minutes - was given leave. 5 minutes later we win the match. Why leave appears as a loss on this site?

          Always been like that. I have 4 or 5 games where I won, but are considered losses for the same reason and I still have I think one more match that counts as a win here than in my dota2 profile...go figure.

            This is nonsense. I demand to return my legal victory > _ <

                  Then don't go afk like a retard next time?

                    yes. afk for 5 min is a an abandon in dota2 client and a LOSS in dotabuff, even if you win the game.
                    It has been like this for a while. totally non-sense.

                      It's not "non-sense" at all.

                      Being afk for 5min+ is considering an abandon where it's safe to leave. By going afk (5 min is a lot) can cost your team the game.
                      When you leave the game/afking5min+ you get a loss on your record now matter what.

                      That it shows as a loss on dotabuff is because you lost, doesn't matter what your other team-mates did.
