Disconnects in ranked need to be handled better!

We really need a rejoin feature and no CSR loss for DCs for the love of all that’s Halo!

No easy options but;

  1. Don’t start a game if someone has dropped out already. Nobody wants this.

  2. If someone does drop out… switch the game to 3v3 (the 4th player can be on the bench and cycled with the next death). This would allow them to give the player a couple of minutes to re-join.

  3. Otherwise, if you persist on continuing with 4v3 - at least add in a mercy rule or a group options to all quit together with no penalty. This is even more important with a 4v2 or (shudder) 4v1.

I would also like to add that if you MVP the loosing team and let’s say you loos by 1 in slayer. The CSR hit should not be that big.

Don’t think I’d consider ever playing ranked if matches didn’t count when a player d/c’d. Got tired of dealing with that in Team Fortress 2 made it that all the times I won didn’t count when someone left…

And then after release, it went dead on arrival because no one wanted to waste time because of how easy it was to negate losses. It was a complete waste of everyones time in the end.

Oh, they definitely need to count.

Except the one’s where the player quits before the match even starts. Why even bother playing that one out - just throw us all back into the matchmaking pool and get on with it.

But for the one’s where you are 4v3 or less. Have some sort of mercy option.
