Dc and MMR

    If a DC happens early enough in a match, then the result of that matchup is discarded. So if one survivor DCs right away, then that survivor's MMR is left alone, and the Killer's MMR isn't adjusted for that survivor either. It can still be adjusted based on the remaining three, depending on how the rest of the match goes (these are weighted so that if the survivors die it doesn't impact MMR as much since they were at a disadvantage).

    Later in the match, though, the adjustment goes through. This is so that you can't just DC before getting hooked to "skip" the adjustment. And likewise, if the Killer DCs when the gates open, that's treated like all 4 survivors escaped in terms of MMR adjustment. Rage quitting is the most common reason to disconnect in these scenarios, so that's what we're targeting with this logic.

    Part of this also to make smurfing more time consuming: You can't just join games and immediately DC to drop your MMR. You gotta hang around for a while, which makes intentionally tanking your MMR much more of a slog and generally time consuming. Forcing people to hang out in a match also makes it more likely that they'll actually end up playing it normally, too! And then you add onto all of this the DC penalties, which increase with each disconnection, and suddenly those who disconnect are spending a lot of time for very little influence over the system.

    I would just make that if you dc your mmr wont change so those who ragequit wont down mmr and will keep facing players of their lvl.
