Disconnect vs. abandon? in General Discussion

    Ok, I asked for a pause 1:30 into the game right after 1st stacking weak camps on dire. The other team resumed. But they had an afk. so we waited 3 mintues. turns out he disconnected and the moved him to base. 2-3 mintues later we had first blood and 2nd. Then they rotated and we got another then 2 DC and game says 'safe to leave'. I feel cheated out of MMR.

    Game was safe to leave around 8-9 minutes? First blood already spilled around 5 minute mark? How does dota determine "safe to leave" and abandoned games? Does that code "-disconnect" in console a good way to cheat mmr? since you aren't counted as abandoned? Please someone verify or correct this notion.

      'safe to leave' != 'game not counted';

        So how many people are dodging CD ranked games with bad drafts like this?

          If the first guy who DCed didn't come back then I think it worked as it is supposed to work. Game checked that first DC happened before first blood = no MMR changes.

            Um that's how it works dude if someone dc's before first blood and 5 min mark game won't count. That guy gets an abandon.
