Players leave and the player who remain are unfairly punished

Hi Team
I am having issues with the Elo being completely unfair. I play my games to the bitter end and my Elo rating is killed for doing it when i am on a regular bassis going 1v5 as there are so many players right now who are leaving and not returning, i am guessing their games didnt crash because i know from personal experience you can return to the game you where just in and i have used this function on many occasions.
This will become the biggest issue for me moving towards whether i would be willing to pay for this game. I am so sick of playing games where the majority of one or the other teams quiting and not finishing the game.
The game needs a surrender vote so that when you do feel their is no point continuing the game can be ended.
My personal thoughts on to improve the fairness of the Elo system are
- Elo shouldnt start until the player has hit level 10. Killing a players elo rating who has just started playing this game is unfair and will push players away from this game as you get stuck in low Elo games with players who dont care.
- if 1 or more players have left a game there should be no negative Elo for any player who has stayed to the end of the game.
- all players who have left / crashed and not re-joined should face a huge Elo penalty.
Something like -100 points first offence, -400 points + 1 hour ban second offence in a day , -600 points 3rd offence in a week + 2 hour ban from joining another game
Players must have created a technical help ticket and have crash screenshots / reports to appeal any penalty.
