Recently i've been noticing when people ping or rage quit on me in matchmaking Not only do they get penalized an entire Elo point, but i do as well, not sure if this is supposed to happen(highly unlikely) or if its a bug and hope it gets fixed





kind of annoying, i usually could give a rats ass about rank but with all the new 5.0 events and stuff , i also thought i'd give going for rank 1 a try so i can get tc for it (hoping thats still a thing, a few things have changed since i've been gone for just a few weeks) and when i get penalized when some guy who cant take a loss gets his head knocked off his tori, its a little disappointing.

That's a issue the developers are already aware of. They're currently trying to fix it.

Its not as much of an issue as you think, the Elo isnt actually removed it, the text just says it is. If you check you Elo on the forums or in the next game you can see that 1 Elo was not actually removed

So it says I lose rank but im not actually losing it?

Yeah that's the point
