Leaver penalty need adjustments ASAP

When I reached 2500 I suffered a disconnection due to a monk knockback and lost -200 points even though I logged in right after.
Mindcontrol, jumps and knockbacks have been disconnecting players for at least a decade. Even so, Blizzard refused to restore my points.

But that’s not what this post is about, we need an update to this system.

Since Blizzard refuses to take action on the victims of the system, at least the punishment must be adjusted.

Blizzard cannot identify who suffered a DC bug or who left intentionally, this punishment could be different.
My suggestion:

1- if the player leaves the match and does not return -200, just as it currently works

2- if the player leaves and comes back -100

This way players who are not intentionally harming the team will be punished less severely.

In my case, a 10-second disconnection made me lose -200 points in a mode that requires 20 min queue, this is more than 24 PLAYED hours of progression.

The equation is unsustainable.

why would a player who didnt leave the game of their own volition be deducted any points at all?

Blizzard cant seem to solve the random disconnects, that should be on them not me

Thats the ideal scenario, im just trying to find a middle ground…because they already said they won’t fix my points even though i participated 99% of the match.

Because their system considers a disconnect a leave, apparently.

Even if you come back and play.

It’s terrible.

They wont be retroactive, fine. They should still fix this going forward. There is 0 reason for a middle ground. Dont negotiate with terrorists blizzard

They really do need to do something about this.

Shouldn’t have a constant sense of anxiety any time you press Rescue or get gripped in a Blitz game.

200 CR for a disconnect it soo much, anyways, especially since there’s no MMR cheesing like there is with Shuffle.

i just took it back by power of hate in a single day. technically my rating is 2500+200, nobody will oppose me

Also want to know why they let it punish the players that remain? How can you expect a 7 v 8 bg to be fair in any way especially if a healer disconnects or leaves it really screws the team.

Zero Penalty would be nice, that way when players realize its a Pug vs a Premade they can just bounce.

The fact that there are no replacements makes it especially baffling why players can’t rejoin the game when reconnecting. (The only way it lets you back in is if your disconnected character hasn’t yet gone offline.)
