D/C from start should NEVER cost a pip
It’s hard enough already to get to legendary division from diamond division.
I was also just in this same match – and it was incredibly frustrating. We tried our hardest as a 4v5, and were equal at 122-120 through an unexpected opening split and then the lack of numbers just turned into a snowball of being out-rotated and their mobile classes +1ing every fight.
This player WAS online for the majority of the match – presumably in character select. I can understand that the system can potentially be abused if no pips are lost when someone disconnects from the match – however some tolerance needs to be in place, since this is not the first time – and won’t be the last – that something like this has happened to me.
It’s just very disheartening to watch the pips you work hard for disappear through absolutely no fault of your own.
