It's not uncommon to see some people having just incredible, almost unnatural levels of W/L or K/D ratios in other games, and often, many people assume they're typically score padding through unsportsmanly conduct, most commonly through cable-pulling, leaving the match before a loss is recorded.
I urge the devs to sincerely consider implementing the system so basically every disco is just counted as a loss. Since it seems you'd be using not a normal P2P conn, but rather a dedicated-server-ish system with the ranked/tourney mode, the general connection problems should be far less, and anyone with abnormal amount of discos compared to overall match numbers could be easily considered a habitual cable puller.
SUGGESTIONS
1. Anyone who discos for whatever reason would just be recorded a loss.
2. If discos occur on both sides, both players should be recorded a loss
3. If someone tries to by-pass the detection and do stuff like using task-manager to drop from the match, should still record as a loss
4.Separately from the "loss" record, a "Disconnects" record should be kept and made public for anyone to see.
Scorepadders and cable pullers most usually act out of twisted pride and ego, and often something that exposes what they are can become a powerful tool to discourage exploits. You could have an insane W/L, K/D ratio and yet, when there's an undeniable record of super high number of disconnects, he's simply outed to the public for what a scumbag he is. Nobody respects anyone like that.
Keep a track-record of how many discos/drop from matches a person has committed should be left in the record.
