lost 2 pips after a teammate dc'ed
“For those whose time and dedication went above and beyond, only to achieve mediocrity”
I remember seeing a dev post mentioning that the pip loss prevention after a team mate has dcd is currently disabled. I cannot find the post right now.
If someone keeps dcing but always comes back within the time limit theres nothing to do about it. Cant just ban the player or replace him with another for having (possibly) one time network problems. That would be stupid. You just have to deal with it. Happens to everyone at some point. Its just a game after all.
The divisions currently dont represent skill at any level anyway so you should not worry about it. Wait for season 2 and have fun.
