Yes, it has - sadly it's the only way to not allow abuse by people who would disconnect as soon as they see they are losing.

Sometimes it's hard to tell whether it's me with the issue, or the host. I'm convinced that sometimes people disconnect at the last moments of the game because they lost. If that person is the host, everyone loses right?

I wish we could see if it was us or them that had the issue. Honestly if the host drops, they should lose the points, and everyone else should just remain at the points they had.

The first couple of times, it was ok. But Joining 5 ranked battle games in a row and having someone AFK/Leave is messed up. At least give us an option to leave the lobby if we misclicked.

It happens to me way more often when I am winning, so I think the theory about a losing host who disconnects to screw over everyone on the lobby could actually be true. That would be a whole new dimension of trolling D:

Thing about D/C they should allow you to at least TRY TO COME BACK ONCE. Like good man... this game certainly has its fair share of things that can easily grind your gears.

When a person is AFK I believe you don't lose many points in Ranked.
I had one game where there was one person AFK and we only lost 1 point, since the rankings are actually what determines how much points you win in Ranked. So if a Person disconnects it balances the game by awarding the winning team less points while the losers lose less points. I've also won +12 points when the other team has clearly two higher ranked players than anyone on our team.
