I was playing with a whole 5 Stack yesterday. We had a 3 Game winning streak where i got something over 70 MMR every win, since i didn't really play that much yet this season. We went on to play our 4th game when suddenly in the prep phase of the 1st round, the server started lagging out and we all rubberbanded around the map while trying to reinforce walls.
I looked at the scoreboard and the pings of all 10 players looked normal while this happened. Maybe it was a DDoS, maybe not, i don't know. What i know is that after about 20 seconds of this, my screen froze and the server seemingly shut down. We all got sent back to the main menu, 2 of us had been kicked out of the squad, 3 or 4 of us got an abandon sanction and every one of us got 150 points of MMR deducted.
Can anybody tell me why the hell we got those penalties and why they're so severe? I mean -150 MMR? That's more than 2 of the 3 games we won, gone down the drain. Even if we left the game this amount seems ridiculous. Is this some kind of exploit and we got DDoS'ed or did the server simply die? And if so, why do players get penalties? Ubisoft and their Servers are really giving me a headache.
