Duel/Tourney - Timer
When someone is dueling or in a tourney and they ping or crash a 30-60 second timer is activated so they can enter back before it is declared as a loss. Have the game paused where the opponent pinged/crashed so they are where they left off.

Only if they ping waiting in the line to play should they be allowed to come back. Once in middle of a fight then it should be what ever happens happens.
Curious aren't you.

No. They just carry on.

It would be as if you are pausing the game, that was part of my suggestion.. It's not that long of text D:
That's pretty much what I mentioned in my suggestion!

If I pinged in the middle of a game, then give me 30-60 sec to reconnect. Believe it or not we all don't live in countries where electricity cuts are rare. Limiting the amount of ping to once or twice would be fine anyway!

The elo penalty is just too harsh, if it is happening daily 3-4 times. You're losing lots of ELO right there over a given season!! It is also very important for tournies and duels!
Your messed up world enthrills me
So from all the ideas you guys have mentioned, it would be something like this:

If you ping waiting in line you can enter back into the tourney?

If you ping during match the match will pause for 30-60 seconds to give you a window to reconnect?

correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't I dodge playing against certain players by pinging myself waiting for the current match to end then re entering, Or just re entering and being lower on the list?
if you don't reconnect yourself during this window then you still get a penalty!! and you shouldn't be able to renenter!

This is the current system already for tourneys. They could just fix this by limiting a player to one ping. The new suggestion I'm giving would be very helpful and unexploitable. Various poker sites have this system of waiting 60 or 30 seconds before they're hand is dead, it would work just like that.
