I been playing Dota2 for a while now, almost level 2. So far... a full game without leaver is rare as hell, in fact a game begin with no leaver is rare. Makes me appreciate how many LoL games I play that has no leavers which is plenty. I am not going into gameplay because it has its up and downs like LoL, but seriously 5 min match making time then half the team leave you... is just bad.

1. you get no penalty for leaving if the first leaver is gone for 5 minutes
2. both games are bound to have leavers
3. nothing that actually has anything to do with the game

More of a community issue, but really, what did you expect?

They need a bigger penalty. Wasn't this an issue in DoTA1 too?

the only reason that it's a problem in dota 1 is that you can't reconnect to a game
it is planned in dota 2 for someone on your friendlist to switch out a leaver.
Also, there is a huge penalty
you get put in low priority matchmaking where it takes 15-30 minutes to get a game
leavers are punished within 1 day of repeated leaving

It`s a moba game, how many people are on your team directly effect your gameplay.

it's DotA, you play with friends
second of all, it's not a moba
it's a hat simulator with a DotA minigame
3rd, moba is a stupid classification name
get off the bandwagon
on a serious note, you can leave after 5 minutes without penalty.
and 1-4 vs 5s are fun if you're the 1-4.

It`s a name not a bandwagon, I am not a fan of the name it`s just what this genre of game is called...

The moba/arts dichotomy is corporate in nature, and it's silly for users to argue over it.
It's would be like me correcting someone for calling some tissues by "Kleenex".

Would that make LoL and HoN and whatever RTSs?

It's actually aRTS.
Action Real-time Strategy.
And yes, they're the same MOBA and ARTS.

I still don`t see where is the bandwagoning.
