I'm sure this has been mentioned, but for the love of God, 19/20 games I attempt to play never see the end! They'll disconnect at the beginning, 1 minute in, after the first round, in the 2nd round, whatever... it is incredibly rare that I finish a game. What is with this? I'm hopelessly addicted this game, but it is so frustrating because it doesn't seem that I'm the only person this happens to! I know it isn't my connection... because I can play every other game online just fine.
Everyone else out there experiencing the same problem? It has progressively gotten worse over the past few weeks.

95% of it is the other person disconnecting on purpose to avoid going down a rank. Its been a widespread problem with p2p connections since, well, a very long time. If you want to complain about the problem, your best hope is getting on International Television.

I thought you lost more points for an incomplete game than for a loss. If that isn't the case then it probably should be but it wouldn't matter, people will still quit.

I get that happens sometimes... but this happens all the time even in non-ranked games. And 90% of the time it's right at the beginning.

@OP
I have the same problem you do, so you're not the only one. It's like all of the people before me have said, it's because people disconnect when they loose. As much as I hate it and would like to learn to deal with it, I just can't.

If it happens 19 times out of 20 then it sounds much more like a network issue than a human issue.

You'd be surprised.
