It's good to see that Devs are trying to combat instances of people leaving. However, I was wondering if this applies to people disconnecting as well. I apologise if this was brought up before but if it does I think this create a huge problem for some players.
Currently, I usually get +1 for winning even with NE / NK. Sometimes I get +2 or +3 and I very rarely get +4 (I ve seen only 1 +5 win recently)
When I lose, it's usually -3, ranging from -1 to - 5
So even if I were to play 20 games and win 14 (avg + 2), lose 5 (avg -3) and get disconnected once (my connection is stable but it happens from time to time and I m not sure it's my connection's fault) I ll get +28 - 15 = 13... - 15 for disconnecting = -2. So - 2 instead of +13. That's terrible even if I managed to have a 70% win rate (which I certainly don't).
I propose this instead: Make it so the leaver loses X amount the Elo he would otherwise lose with a cap of 15 at Masters (I would propose 3 times the Elo the player would otherwise lose).
Unless getting disconnected doesn't count as leaving (couldn't find a clarification by reading around a bit on the forums) in which case it doesn't matter.
