This makes little sense, it gives zero incentive for the abandoner to come back and play, thus screwing his team even more.


I agree... If you came back and won the game, you should at least gain and lose nothing. So the rest of your team gets their added points, and you don't lose anything.

No, you should be punished if you're gone long enough to get an abandon. If you're having an issue that causes you to not be able to get back for >5 minutes then that's an issue and people should not be expected to wait for that. 1~2 is fine, anything more than that is excessive and is punished accordingly.

Such as Valve's servers being utter hogshit?

You knew exactly what you were getting into, you chose to roll the dice on ranked. Why exactly should people be crying for you?

It hasn't happened to me in months. I just know that it's an ongoing thing that they do. So why again do we punish players for Valve's failures?

YouPorn looking to sponsor eSports is just bad. Since Google is stopping to advertise pornography (Jul 2014) it's no surprise these sites are considering strong avenues of exposure from online live streaming sectors involving games (that's their demographic anyways).

and then there are some orgs/people actually considering taking up YouPorn's offer which should be a sign of something about this culture and business as a whole.

It doesn't show anything about the business as a whole when there has been such a resounding ''no'' from the industry....


Yes, from developers and companies, not from all teams and people.

no need to punctuate with an ellipsis lol


Teams and people are more liberal than those old farts hence why there hasn't been a resounding no as it really doesn't matter.

So it hasn't happened to you in a few months, most of the times that people experience lag aren't valve's fault, and if it is there are huge potions of the community that are very verbal about it pretty constantly.

And then you still choose to play ranked.

No, no I really don't see a problem for morons losing MMR for this.

You should still get an abandon, but think of the bigger picture here. If you had abandoned, and knew there was nothing in it for you to come back and try to win, would you rejoin? The punishment should be getting the +1 abandon. If you come back for whatever reason and manage to win, you should get the win (as long as you weren't still disconnected of course). Not having any reason to play after you've abandoned screws your team over more.

tldr: you are still punished by getting an abandon and being one step closer to low priority. If you rejoin the game and win, you should get a win accordingly.

Yeah, I agree with this. You should get an abandon and a win if you fail to reconnect in time, but still win the game. Abandon and a loss for a won game makes no sense and just makes you feel like shit.

You've probably given your team a fairly significant disadvantage, I don't see why you should participate in the W if your team manages to bring it back to a victory.

Obviously there are cases where your internet goes down as a godlike tinker at 25 mintes, and you reconnect 6 minutes later to learn your team didn't pause at all, but in MOST cases I dunno why you should get a shot at a win when you've probably given your team a loss.
