I was playing a ranked game on coastline, in a 4-stack, so our 5th was a random. He team killed twice and then on the third time he got removed from the match because of it. So, for the rest of the match we had to play 4v5, but we ended up winning 5-4. However, the game made us lose elo even though it said we won the match. I understand that if someone was caught hacking or ddossing, that you elo, but is this really the same case for a teammate that just got banned for being unhelpful and trolling? If not, I would like my lost elo back because of something that wasn't out fault.

Hello velvetr0 welcome to the forums and sorry that this happened to you.

Our game team is working on a way to balance this issue as it is one of our top community concerns.

Please see a post from our Siege devs about this exact issue -

Concern: While Vote to Kick is no longer an option in Ranked Games, we often see Quick Match players reporting frustrations over the abuse of this function. The intention of this feature is to provide players with an option to remove a teammate should they exhibit problematic behavior; however, the original intent has sometimes been manipulated by some to create toxicity.

Challenges: We are aware of how this function has been abused and we agree that a redesign of the Vote to Kick rules is in order. There are multiple ways this feature has been abused and we are currently assessing the data to understand the various scenarios and how we can block openings for abuse. We have identified a few starting points, such as preventing players under certain sanctions from voting, and we are currently going over the Vote to Kick designs with the goal of having an upgrade live by Season 4.

When there is a large enough MMR rollback, players affected will have their MMR reset and be required to re-do their placement matches. We will be exploring what other risks there might be in only rolling back games where cheaters win in the near future.
