Opponent Disconnecting
I know it has always been a discussion with the FC and FIFA franchise regarding an opponent disconnecting.
However, I feel like it has gone on too long to address the fact its ridiculous. If my opponent leaves during a match the remaining player should get the win no matter the conditions. It effects the opponent if they leave, they get a loss, DNF modifier and a warning. The player they leave against just get some coins and act like nothing has happened. I am aware of the conditions disconnection at the moment, which basically is, if its half time, penalty kick and red card. Which is outrageous. If my opponent leaves I expect a win, even if its before half time.
For example, I just played a game I was 0-3 down and before half time had even come, I brought it back to 3-2 and was quite literally through on goal and they disconnect. The outcome you ask? I get some coins and act like I never just played the game.
I do completely understand to an extent as to why this in place for things such as, boosting and exploits. However, you literally have a limit on how many wins a player can receive from disconnections when the conditions are met which is 5. So even if a player were to boost or exploit they could only get 5 wins out of it. Which yes in Champions would be an issue because they would get 15-0.
Overall I just think it should be revised. The only thing I understand from your disconnection criteria is the 5 wins max. Everything else is kind of pointless. A suggestion I have is to just introduce temporary bans. For example, League of Legends a player disconnects they have a 3-5 minute delay on their next game. Just as well as CS2, A player leaves they get a 30 min temporary ban, and that scales with how many games they keep disconnecting from but does cooldown for a period of time of the player not disconnecting and would eventually reset to the first punishment.
Personally speaking, I would rather a player get a temporary ban when they disconnect because then a player would one, feel less inclined to leave a game and two, you would not need to worry about boosting because by the time they get to 5 wins they could be banned for a few days.
