So I made a post quite some time ago about timing out during ranked matches. Players can be kicked from the server for the reason "Disconnected due to lag" if their ping is high for a long period of time (I'm just guessing that this is how it works), but the player who gets disconnected will always lose. This can be extremely unfair in some cases, such as this: https://www.badlion.net/match/kitpvp/6579429. I, the rank #2 archer player, was matched up against a much lower ranked player who I timed out against, causing me to lose 31 ELO unfairly. This is especially unfair because my opponent was a good person who intentionally didn't ghost-kill me.

The last post I made like this, my response was that if something was implemented that cancelled ELO distribution upon timing out, it would be easily abusable. My response to that is:
1: If you disconnect your router, you take enough time to time-out that you could easily be killed in that time, making that "strategy" pointless and hardly abusable.
2: Maybe instead of completely cancelling ELO, 16 ELO could be rewarded to the player that "won" and 16 ELO could be removed from the player who timed out, making it much less unfair/unfortunate when it happens.

Please respond, thanks :)
