The other day, I dropped into a Quickplay match in Forest Colony. One of our mechs, an Annihilator, died within a minute of the match starting, long before anyone ran into any enemy mechs. I figured he just walked outside the match boundaries because there's no other way that I can think of to commit suicide that fast.
Meanwhile, the rest of the team went on to win the match anyway. The leaver still got a match score of 12. Wait, whaaaaat?
Am I to understand that some selfish a-hole who didn't want to play the map and did absolutely NOTHING but handicap his own team (didn't even bother to suicide charge the enemy and at least soak a few shots, or create a distracting red blip) still somehow managed to get a match score greater than zero? How does that even work?

Lol. Yeah, probably.
But how does that matter anything? It's only 12 more than nothing. I don't see much difference between 12 to 0.

There was an event not too long ago that ticked every time you got a Match Score of 8 or better.

You get a small score for losing and a larger score for winning. You only get zero if your score is in the negatives, or you were idle the whole time. As soon as you move you're eligible for the 12 or so points. Either way it's tiny and not really worth worrying about. A 12 matchscore isn't doing him any favors.
