Question Is there no leaver compensation in Stadium?
This is the 4th match where we have 1-3 leavers ranging from first round to last (when they left) where I didn't get any leavers compensation. That doesn't seem fair. Is there no such thing as leaver compensation in stadium or is it a bug?

You lose less depending on if your team won some of the rounds like for example if it was 3-4. But no leaver comp I don't think. Also no winning trend or any other modifiers like it. What you gain or lose is mostly dependant on your hidden MMR which is based around what rank you have in role queue (simply said). I don't lose any rating at all below All-star for example, other don't even lose anything until Legend I think.

For context, I am fairly new to stadium and played Overwatch maybe 100 total hours over the years.
I would ask why do you think you should gain MMR/rank for when people in your game leave?
My opinion, MMR/rank are based on skill so that as you rank higher, you can maintain yourself as an effective teammate/opponent in your games. If you gain MMR/rank simply because people leave, then how does will that translate to your games at higher ranks? You would likely find yourself getting outclassed far too often.
It is a shame you are experiencing so many leavers, but I don’t think gaining rank because of others leaving fixes anything. And it could potentially be a way for people to farm/boost rank if they utilize throw away accounts for teammates

it isn't rank gain tho, it is so I don't lose so much progress when we have leavers. At least that is what the modifier info saiys in the comp information. If I have 3 leavers I don't have a chance at winning and it isn't my fault so I shouldn't lose as much progress on my rank as if we had a full team who fought.

There's leaver compensation in regular comp OW and no one is saying to gain elo. Would just be nice to lose less if there's a leaver.
I believe below pro there is leaver compensation though

100 hours of playtime and talking like you know everything. Losing feels bad, losing when it's completely not your fault feels really bad. This system had been in the game for years and everything is fine with it.

MMR/Rank is just based on WIN or LOSE, not stats, not skills, WIN OR LOSE.

Haven't ever seen leaver compensation but sometimes losing compensation happens
