The amount of Elo you lose after playing a 4v5 for 16+ rounds is insane and needs to be addressed

Just played a ranked game. I was the Reyna and our Phoenix left after round 3. Regardless what happened (internet issues, computer issues, rage quit) it isn't fair for me to lose 19RR playing a 4v5 for 16 rounds. I understand that I went 11-16 which isn't great for a duelist but it's really hard playing haven with 4 people, especially on defense where you can't really cover every spot on the map.

I am not a game developer or understand what the possibilities are but I wonder if there's a way to detect whether a player intentionally disconnected (alt+f4'd, closed game in taskbar) or unintentionally (computed crashed, internet stopped working). This has already happened to me twice this week and it's extremely frustrated. I'm losing the same amount of Elo from playing a 4v5 for 10+ rounds than playing a full game with a full team.
