       Very early terran leaving penalty is too severe

       The very early penalty for terran leaving is way too high.  2
       extractors and 4 spawners sets zerg back so far it's impossible
       to recover against 2 good terrans.  It should be a fixed mineral
       penalty.

       I disagree with this, someone leaving early should take and make
       it so that the terran can still win, otherwise there will be a
       lot of games where everyone just quit after one person leaves

       If the other two terrans are good, zerg cannot win with the very
       early leaving penalty.  It needs to be reduced.  Maybe remove
       the spawners but keep the extractors.

       You didn't understand what ZergTriumph said: Terran get a free
       win if one of the 3 Terrans on the same side leave and the two
       others are good. There is no contest anymore.
       The penalty shouldn't be that big, i totaly agree with
       ZergTrumph on that.

       Maybe leave half in that case. 1 extractor and 2 lings. would
       like that to rally them over the blocked gasses. :)

       The main issue with the early leaver bonus is that you lose an
       entire supply with it. So not only do you lose a third of your
       eco, everything down the line now also is more expensive.
       The mineral penalty just delays you by 1,5 mins or so. Removing
       supply gets incrementally worse the longer the game goes on.
       Whatever tech you want to go for you now add the cost for an
       additional supply upgrade to it.
       Wanna get roaches at 1100minerals? Nope you pay an extra 1225
       please. It's ok you can afford that. It probably only took you
       10 mins to get to the 1k eco point.
       Flat minerals stops you for 90s at worst but after that you can
       go as you would normally.
       If you remove spawners/extractors at least keep the supply.

       Or make the supply cost scale down :)

       you don't lose the spawner eco btw.
       Ye, the penalty is high...
       But what's the issue losing to 2 good terrans? You always
       complain you lose against 3 good terrans, too. So if 1 terran
       leaves, so losing to 2 good terrans is the same shit zzz
       The thing is, you lose 2 spires without any compensation, so
       that is rough, especially eco zerg^^ For aggro zerg (like
       ZergTriumph most likely is) it's actually not the biggest of
       deals, you only need to bully 2 terrans which is much easier so
       as  long as you can pull that off with your reduced eco you're
       fine...
       ZergTriumph literally just wants a buff to get free wins after 1
       terran leaves.. lame.
       There is 1 change I thought of, I'll just do it here...
       Reduce spire count behind hatchery from 2 to 1, add 4 spires on
       the high ground, remove 15 of the 27 starting supply from zerg.
       I might go more indepth about the ideas behind this in a
       standalone post.

       as of now v early leavs - auto win for other 2 terrans if they
       have at least 2 working brain cells and other side is not totaly
       afk allowing 2 zerg to get eco and all ups, it dont need change
       it needs as mett and zerg said massive reduction

       And a massive reduction would not be a change? Use your brain
