This scoreboard tally is quite weird and was wondering what could have caused it. Player scores only 1 point, appears at the bottom, but his RP score on the loss was only -15. That is normally for the person who placed 2nd on the losing side. Note that the other players Rating Points were all lowered more than would have been expected based upon score. Is this a bug?  |

Don't think I have seen that before... might be an actual tanker... but not sure why you would tank since Div 1 has better rewards overall, and what opponents you face don't seem to be based on Division. IDK... weird.

IDK... weird. If you do tank in game, the game would place you 6th and you get -60 RP for that. However, in this instance it did not happen that way. Whatever happened, it affected everyone except me since I placed 1st. |

Only thing I can guess is that the other players were bots and so were treated differently as far as scoring... maybe humans get preferential treatment? |

I’m gonna guess he maybe lost connection mid-game?

I reckon a bug/glitch. Not come across it before - and if tanking then would be -60 not -15, as Munki states |

I doubt tanker. I suspect someone started, but had to drop or got disconnected early. It would be a great feature that if people tried to tank like this, that it would prevent them from dropping fast. Intentionally leaving a game would prevent you from losing points too fast. Could be exploited the other way too, but that doesn't make sense. It's fairly easy to move up and there are benefits to being in the higher divisions.

It's part of the tanking protections, not a bug.
I was curious of a day and wanted to see if there were failsafes against going back divisions, so I tried droppin a division on my alt account.
Yes there are. Yes, it looks like this. The game will even go out of it's way to give tankers the bottom of the ~winning team~ so their rank score stays above a certain threshold.

Damn... you gotta try HARD to drop in MA... good. I still don't see the point for doing it, but at least it's difficult to accomplish!
