It makes no sense that your teammate can resign or time out, and cost you a lot of ELO points.
Obviously it should ONLY cost the person who performs such shenanigans.

Not sure what you mean?
I guess I don't get Teams. I mate someone and my teammate gets twice the ELO. My teammate gets mated, and I lose twice as many ELO points as them. And that is even though my rating is lower.
Guess I stick to FFA...

I wish it would be like that.
I agree. I experienced this many times. Also, if our teammate disconnects and we lose, it's not our fault in it. Chess.com should refund the points of such games back to both the players because newbies don't know how to reconnect and it's not our fault that our teammates disconnect. Some reasons why higher rated games are not encouraged as the solution in this issue:-
1. No guarantee of ratings of players in high rated games:- Let's take an example. I am around 1850 in 4PC Teams Rapid. If I join a 1600+ queue, I might get someone <2000 and the other team may get 2000+ player, so winning probability is less for us except if they blunder a lot and my teammate has experience. Even if we get a higher rated player as our teammate, the disadvantage is that due to his high rating, we may also not get much increment and if we lose, y'all now what will happen.
2. Low rated games offer more increment:- If our teammate is quite lower rated, and we guide him to win, then we may get more increment due to their low rating. This is why mostly we play non-customized rated teams game(Non-customized here means not customized in rating range like 1550+ 1600+ 1650+ etc.). Also, the winning probability is more in these games as all low rated play this.
Friends who follow our arrows are not always onlime nor do they always accept our invitations.
1: you can restrict max rating if you want, i.e. 1600 - 1900, so yeah lol your argument is basically inexistent lol.
2: Also, you clearly don't understand the rating system whatsoever. If your teammate it lower rated, than yes, it will bring the average rating in the game down (the average it how rating changes are decided). However, if your teammate is much lower rated, than they can contribute nothing to the game. However, if the players have similar ratings, than both players can put their thoughts into a specific problem, which is very useful because it allows you to get a second opinion on a move. Again, where's the argument all I see is nonsense.
We cannot always play higher rated teams game. I have a specific time to play, and its not possible that I will immediately get all the players and start tye match. Also, waiting will be wastage of time. Even If I get the match started, no one knows who my teammate is, who the other 2 opponents are. Anything could happen. But in non-customized, mostly you get lower rated as higher rated players mostly prefer to play in higher rated games
