Please add the ability to rejoin games that we were disconnected from, this game could definitely use it.

From the Season 1 Outcome report here:

- Feedback: Many players would like a reconnect/rejoin or forfeit feature, especially for Ranked
We have a lot of things we’re working on to help mitigate player pain when a player quits or disconnects from a match in Ranked. While they won’t make the launch of Season 2, the integrity of Ranked matches is a priority area for us to continue iterating on to improve to ensure the best quality of matches possible.

The interesting bit is maintaining the “integrity” of ranked.
What options would they have at their disposal?
Do you pause the match briefly and give them time to jump back online?
Do you nerf or suspend scoring for a minute so that the other team isn’t penalised as much as it would otherwise be?
Could you briefly take away power weapons and/or equipment. This is probably where 4v3 really becomes unbalanced. It’s hard enough without the bigger team easily taking the sword and the camo.
Or could you even the teams. Instead of 4v3 make it 3v3 by taking the extra player off the field and then rotating them back in with each death. This may still be unbalanced depending on the skill of the missing player - but at least would keep the game interesting for those who are left.
I think we should give the player every chance to get back in. 3v4 doesn’t help anyone. It’s just as frustrating for the full team as they get bored in a game that now has less rank up potential.
But one of the keystones will be limiting the range of ranked squads. You wouldn’t want a team encouraging their lowest ranked player to drop out at opportune times to create a temporary advantage.
