It does actually, but what Arena Net doesn’t realize is that 2 minutes is way too long.

Today I had teammate d/c for more than 3min and match counted as lost anyway.

From other side, I had d/c yesterday and came back in ~1min and got 40min dishonor.
You can go and read more there: absurd penalty for disconnet

I found dev’s post :

If you return to a match after a disconnect or switch classes, you will not gain dishonor.
We are always watching ‘the numbers’ and have the ability to change the variables of dishonor as we see fit. If we think lowering one number or raising another will reduce the amount of leavers and afk players, then we will certainly do it.

Maybe things changed now. We lose match even if teammate abandoned the match and d/ced player get more serious penalty?

This old system might be abused in the new division/rating system. Top players might protect themselves that way from going dawn in rank ladder.
