What happens normally: If a person on your team leaves during a ranked match and stays DC long enough, you dont lose elo ( and you shouldn’t, the nature of PvP makes being down a man nearly impossible )
The problem: If you have a bunch of DCs during your placement matches, it still counts the lose and you still lose elo. This means it’s entirely possible to be greatly misplaced if a player gets consistently unlucky with 4v5 matches.
I decided to put this in bug reports rather than a thread in the PvP section, as basic common sense dictates that this is much more likely just an oversight rather than an intended feature.
Not sure if its related, but i once had a long loading screen to a pvp match, so it booted me from the game. After i reconnected, about halfway in the match, i got some.. unpleasant.. remarks thrown my way, they mentioned that if i DC’d i should just stay away instead of ruining their matchmaking
