So I left the game due to my internet cutting out, I then rejoin the game however my sr went from 3545 to 3495 mid game. I was like ok this is weird lets see what happens if we win or lose. We then play really well win the game BUT I GET NO SR??? I literally just lost 50 sr for a win how? this game makes no sense.
My ar should be at 2560, i usally don’t care about these things but like soon i won’t be able to play and the amount of extra time now i have to play just to catch up and them all being wins is ridiculous.
Is there anyway of getting my sr back because this is stupid
If you disconnect/leave a Competitive match and fail to return within two minutes, you will be penalized and marked with the loss regardless of match result. Learn more about this policy here:
Yes so it would technically count as they not needing you.
So you won’t gain any SR for playing the match.
For the same you could just keep on playing.
Because if you leave you have two options:
You still win but you wont get any SR and your team will get all the SR
You lose and you get the penalty
So it wouldn’t make it more common, because there is no upside to winning anymore and there is still the standard penalty when losing.
Make up for the mistakes you know.
Chances exist, and if your team is able to win without the leaver then so be it. No SR for the one who left.
That someone left for 2 minutes does not mean they haven’t had any impact for the other 20-30 minutes of the match. It isn’t always on purpose.
And leaving on purpose and rejoining will just cause in you gaining no SR or just losing the normal penallty amount.
If you’d throw then you’ll end up losing most likely anyways.
If you don’t then you don’t get any SR, nor do you lose anything.
You could just leave 2 minutes, come back and throw. If you win then you’ll still get the SR. Getting the penalty despite reconnecting within 2 minutes or without disconnecting multiple times is a bug.
You mistakenly think the penalty is for causing your team to lose. It is not, nor is it a penalty at all. It is a deterrent. It is to discourage activities. One of those is to purposely leave. Another is to play competitive with known issues that would cause you to miss 2 minutes of a game. Without the deterrent, after your proposed, “man, my graphics card crashed and I couldn’t make it back in 2 minutes, but my team won so I didn’t lose SR!” system, too many people would just “go next.” Give them a timeout period and SR drop and they’re much more likely to spend that time posting in tech support, trying to fix their issue before queuing comp again.
On top of that, it’s less deterrent to the “I’m leaving so my toxic team loses” plays. With your system, they’re fighting for YOUR SR too, so you’re screwing them even harder (at least mentally). I’d be laughing, still chatting with the game if they did that and I was that type: “come on, you guys got this 5v6! Win me that SR, losers!”
