As far as I see, its cons outweights the pros, sure it happens rarely but when it happens you either dont care about it, or it shift the game in one RNG roll.
That's what forum posters on here seem to forget about the other portion of the people who play the game. Not everyone is so fixated on RNG making or breaking the game. I play to have fun. Abandons are fun. Simple as. And there are plenty others like me who play CoH2 just as much as you and I do.
