Not saying it happens a lot because my actual PvP numbers definitely say otherwise (~2.4% forfeits, 3.0% byes), but it does happen. Then you start with a 4vs5 which gives you like a 1-2% chance of winning, as the game has almost no comeback mechanics. The disconnected player doesn’t even have to be at fault. But we still have to play or violate the Code of Conduct even though we are completely wasting these 6-10 minutes of our life.
I suggest again we get a vote similiar to other competitive games that in case somebody disconnects we can vote to end the match. The player who left gets punished now anyway. It’s not like we can abuse it. Just put a small timeout on the vote – the same amount of time it takes for dishonour to apply maybe.
