      Draw does not mean that the game doesn't count. Draw means that you consider each other equal, and therefore the ratings converge.

      Is that correct @BlackYps ?

        Umm, I still don't think that one team is supposed to get as many points as if they won the game while the other lose points as if they lost the game.

            A mutual draw (via diplomacy menu) does not function as a draw. A game draw is not mutual and that is what is rated as it’s an actual game outcome.

            It’s also specified as an unrank condition in the server code for ranking.

              This is not true. A mutual draw is only the case when all players in the game ask for a draw. If someone already died then the server doesn't consider this a mutual draw.

              The server treats games where players ask for a draw after someone died the same as all teams died draw as seen here.
              https://github.com/FAForever/server/blob/35a23b5fbebd10157a3bf6b7cf74c092cfcada3a/server/games/game_results.py#L248

              The only case when the server unranks for a mutual draw is when all players survive and all players ask for a draw as seen here.

              So a draw is only unranked if all players are alive when the draw is asked for. In @CasterNumeroUno 's replay one player had already died and so did not meet the condition to be called a mutual draw.

                That's a really terrible specification that should be removed then

                  Ok that's just "r****" implementation. It's just so obscure and unintuitive that you are better of removing it then.
