Urgent : Rank manipulation
Have been trying to climb to rank 1 on 1v1 ladder (currently at 3rd if anyone cares) and have encountered a player called, "Youtube FaustX" (currently at 2nd) twice in a row. Each time, I beat him on the first round and he disconnects, but he doesn't derank and I get no points. This needs to be fixed, when someone intentionally dc's (especially twice in a row) they absolutely deserve to forfeit their points. This is very frustrating to play against.

Edit : Just realised that I wasn't specific enough, he disconnects as the round ends and he loses but before the points actually go through. Will screenshot next time he is seen now that I know what to look out for.

There are a ton of cases where people disconnect due to game crashing/timing out which I can't fix. That's why I put this system into the game. I should have worked on a better one long ago but got distracted on the other stuff. Thanks for the report, I'll work on a better system soon.

I don't think it'd be that unfair to just have points register as soon as the match is won and before the point screen actually comes up, that way the people who "coincidentally" crash in the very first round get the same punishment as people who actually crash in latter rounds. Obviously its somewhat unfair for the small amount of high level competitive players, but I feel this would be a good temporary fix until a better system is introduced.

I found personally out that 99% of my own disconnects happen before the first round even starts, maybe you could add some extra time (like 1 minute 30 seconds) when someoene disconnects in the picking phase of a ranked game. During that time people should be able to reconnect which would allow you to remove the no loss/gain if you leave after round 1 but before round 2.

Might be a bit frustrating to wait, but it's also frustrating if you dc during the first round and lose that one because of the dc.

PS: you could potentially change this to a 1min30 sec wait if everyone of one team disconnects, if only one dc's in a 2v2 or 3v3 others can still pause.

That's a decent idea, I could just increase hero selection time if someone disconnects in the first hero selection. You are right, the disconnects happen during the transition from the game mode selection to first hero selection.
