Most likely yes especially if it is not an early abandon.

If they leave before first blood or tower and in the first X minutes then game doesn't count and doesn't affect anything. If it happens later and you leave, the game's result will impact your mmr like any other game.

Well, its possible that the game affects your MMR somewhat dynamically based on leavers (I know HoN eventually implemented a system like that) but nobody really knows. It is certainly safe to say that it will somewhat change your MMR regardless of abandon status. Thats why some people hang in the game and hope their enemies all leave when an abandon occurs. Kinda dumb really but w/e.

Its the nature of the beast. If it didn't effect your MMR, people would just have one team mate leave to cancel out a loss and then have that guy switch accounts.

Vanguard is legit on BB isn't it?

If you can get it before 10 mins AND abuse it for the next 10 mins... I guess.
Armlet is just better if you have that much farm though. And drums are just better if you don't have that much farm. Its like "well the item does something just not enough" see: old SnY.
If vanguard was disassemblable it would go god-tier on bristle tho (assuming you were going pipe and/or heart at some point, usually a safe assumption on bristle).

Yeah, the problem with Vanguard is that your never going to get it in under 10 minutes in off lane, which is where BB normally ends up. Armlet is good and drums to make him faster, though that is a little redundant since he has his snot powers.

Movespeed changes aren't redundant until you hit 522 or they hit 100. Racecar builds prove this.

Armlet's pretty meh on BB, tbh. It gives you a little bit of everything, but it's simply not a single-item game-changer for you, while being just a little too expensive to be considered early game filler.

Its a good item, I am just saying the farm is pretty hard for BB to get in the early game, so you have to be a little picky with your items. The Snot handles the movement speed issue and someone else might be getting drums.

But isn't armlet the #1 Wodota item?

You forgot Ghost Scepter.

I still remember that shadow fiend from wodota with all of those items.
Anyone still got the link around?

Armlet's pretty legit on bristle. Yes you need something to help alleviate your mana issues but beyond that its an incredible amount of survivability and bristle uses the right-click aspect very well. Plus it builds quite well too.
The thing is, In really short fights armlet is just a free 400HP or w/e for activating it (really good, outclasses other survivability items handily). If the fight is long and drawn-out then bristle is already in his element so as long as you are alive you are in business and this is where you can armlet toggle to great effect. The fact that its around 750EHP when taking damage from behind is pretty good too. The right-click parts are very much NOT "meh" on bristle and while it doesn't solve all his problems it really does do a lot for the hero.
The biggest issue then becomes that you need a way to later "recoup" the HP spent on armlet in fights, which bristle distinctly lacks. I'm willing to admit this but I don't think that it really disqualifies the item. I'm happy to hear arguments to the contrary but I was hoping they would be more substantiated than "Well the item isn't a game-changer so gg".
Obviously there are lots of situations where you can't farm an armlet in a short enough time-period for it to be particularly good. Thats fine but in that case you aren't really getting a vanguard either which is what I was recommending it over. I guess in that case you are buying a sange on the way to HH? dunno.

"Someone else might be getting drums" is almost never a reason to not get drums. The 5% MS/AS aura is such a miniscule part of the item, and you're not using it properly if one person with drum charges lasts the whole game.
