Draw/continue voting is in a bad place right now.

I had a game today in which 2 of my teammates dc'ed. My viper was basically dc'ed from first round, but he came back in 2nd round but with 1000 ping and we couldn't remake. My jett dc'ed after round 16 cuz we were losing 7-9 and he had no hope of winning it.

Well, basically what happened was, since it was a 3v5, the raze and me decided to try our best. We thought, we'll atleast go into overtime and Draw.

We lost the first OT, then by a bit of skill and luck, I got a 3k and won the round. We vote for a draw for obvious reasons.

Surprise surprise, we CANNOT draw because it requires 4 people to draw. The whole enemy team voted to continue cuz obviously they were at an advantage of a controller AND a duelist (and also 2 players).

We won the 3rd OT round.
And also the 4th one xD (we hadn't flanked once in this game so we flanked. It worked out ;))

But this is still a big issue. First of all, my team is down 2 players (essential ones, smokes and stuff), second of all, even IF we tryharded our way to OT, we cannot draw, making an unfair game, even more unfair.

Got only 19 RR tho. Nice.

TL;DR: Voting is heavily skewed in the favour of the team with a man advantage, this disincentivizes even trying to go into OT. Voting needs to be taken a better look at, and the MMR bonus for a man disadvantage
