19 kills, about to win but disconnects. Come back and that number is 0. This could lose players, like in my case, up to 80/100 sr just because of a small design flaw. If you want to introduce a game mode as competitive you cant just leave things like this in the game.
The stats must be saved server side, why remove it because a player disconnects?
Hmm,
On casual FFA it’s quite understandable: If a player leaves, the slot will be open for a new player who fills in.
Yet in competitive FFA, that’s not the case. If someone leaves, no new player fill the slot. Only the leaver can join back. At least that’s how I have understood.
Since the score is linked to the player and their ID, they could keep the score easily until the match ends.
The reason they haven’t added that is simply that they copied the whole FFA system from casual Deathmatch.
If they relaunch competitive FFA, they should fix it beforehand.

I don’t think it is a design flaw , but working as intended . From what i know even in competitive you don’t keep your stats and ult charge when you get disconnected, why would it happen in comp FFA ? And why you should deserve special treatment if you get disconnected? It is nobody’s fault but yours.
We don’t know if their disconnect is accidental or on purpose.
If the game saves your stats, the leaver still gets punished because every other player in the match will have a head start when the leaver rejoins. However, the leaver still has a chance to win and doesn’t have to start all over. That seems a lot fairer for placers who disconnect wither by accident or on purpose.
Therefore, the fix can’t be exploited and would be a quality of life improvement.
How is not loosing what you have achieved special treatment? And how is something that applies for everyone special treament? Do you even know what that means?
