[2021] Devs Need to Fix ASAP - leaver penalty for lobby timeout - upvote for attention

So the new leaver penalty is of course a great addition to the game and goes a long way in improving the experience. However, an unexpected consequence seems to have come with it. In the cases when players still decide to dodge, the backfill at low population times may not find the replacement players in time. Which is fine, except when you timeout you still get the minus 50 as if you dodged.

There is a popup screen that says return to menu, and no matter if you let it timeout, or hit a, as people in the group did both, we all got the loss of points. Doesn't seem to be operating as intended and needs fixing ASAP!
