Loosing SR after internet drop for a minute?

Hello guys, my nickname is Codeyn and I am mostly playing Pharah or supports such as Lucio or Mercy.

I bought this game for a month and a half ago and I am disappointed for everything that happened me in the past. Toxic community, idiots in matchmaking, trollers, even cheaters. (and also genji mains)

Well, this was okay, I could live with that. Althrough that I enjoyed Overwatch as much as I could. Until today. I started to climb at the start of Season 10 from 1300SR (Bronze) and my goal for this season was gold. I knew I am kinda experienced already and I can do that.

After carrying most of the games (some of the games are uncarryable because of the 5 DPS team in defend without shield… just… can’t), I was at 1880SR this morning, I was so happy that I am only 120 SR from gold. I started to play, got a lot of rage and so on as usually, didn’t enjoyed it at all, but for a $40 game, I can’t just stop playing it for that price…

Okay so, after loosing some of the games and winning again I was at 1854 SR I think, I went another ranked:

THE PROBLEM
I was playing solo Rialto ranked match, when we pushed the payload in attack all the way to the end, the second round started. My internet just crashed, literally, it was just a MINUTE, not even WHOLE MINUTE, it disconnected me. After my internet was up again, I rejoined the match, the enemy was at second checkpoint, we held it as much as we can but unfortunately, we got into an overtime. I said okay, lets to that. After long overtime we FINALLY WON. I was expecting, oh, I am again at 1880SR well done.

AFTER I CLIKED THE “PLAY” IN THE MENUS I WAS SHOCKED. My SR went from 1880 to 1800 straight. WHAT-THE-ACTUAL-F*CK? I spent the whole yesterday playing trying to get there and it REMOVED ME 80SR FOR NO REASON? Are you kidding me Blizzard? What is that? Can anyone of you explain me why that happened, where I cant find information about punishment when someone left the match and so on? I would be so thankful if someone could help me atleast to find out why that happened, even when i rejoined and won the game. And also why it removed me 80SR it is like 3 or 4 looses, and not just only one?

Thank you very much,
your disappointed new member of the Overwatch community,
Codeyn

I don’t think I’m ever going to change my mind about this - winning a game you left and rejoined should not decrease your SR. It doesn’t incentivize people to come back. A short ban to check your connection is enough.
