Game "Out of Sync" and I lose rank??

Just loaded up HW2 and start up a 3v3 with two other friends.
-Find a game
-pick character
-load in

  • “Disconnected. Game is out of sync with other players”
    -lose 70% was Gold 6 -> Gold 5

-Retry-

-Find a game
-pick character
-load in

  • “Disconnected. Game has gone of sync with other players”
    -lose 70% was Gold 5 -> Gold 4

How is this acceptable? The game is out of sync but I get punished for it? If the game messes up by making us out of sync why does it dock my rank. I can understand it has to kick us out if someone starts out earlier than the other. But for the rank to be docked as a result is stupid.

Deathmatch unstable, frequently disconnects since yap yap…
