Again, did these players really resign by themselves or did the system prune the games due to inactivity. Playing 2v2 with a random partner does have a certain risk element to it. It is highly recommended to find a reliable and active partner on these or other forums in order to avoid any partner-induced frustrations.

I was just wondering if it's better for your ranking to resign with a base at 5 HP, than to have it wiped out and lose with it at zero on the next move?

Not as far as I know - the amount of base health left at the end of a game has no influence on the resulting point and hidden MMR change. There has been a discussion in another thread whether it's good sportsmanship to resign when you see that you've lost or if it is more polite to let your opponent win the game - either way is fine in my opinion.
