they need to fix the host quiting the game. I think I have about 500 losses where the host quits, it says victory and yet somehow I still get a loss. I actually looked at it closely today and I don't even get a win I get a straight loss everytime the host quits even when it says victory. Not that I care that much about W/L but hosts quiting just irks me.
