Actually I believe I think I know how this works. I will probably get flamed like hell for posting this because I believe there are a few people here that are using this to avoid a loss (especially people near the top of the ladder ranks). I really hate to see people start using this but a few people already are so what the hell. If I post this maybe it'll get fixed and the rank gets a complete reset so we really know who are good.
Again this is all theory but I was able to reproduce this 2 times in a test session.
My demigod is setup for Window mode of game play FYI.
During my test session I was NOT the host. I was the 2nd player. Basically as the 2nd player in the team (forces of light OR darkness), just click End Game, Press Yes to confirm, then IMMEDIATELY shutdown the game. For me I just closed the window the turn the game off. I did this 2 times and it desynced the game 2 times.
I tried a third time but was not successfull. My timing might be off. You could also try to end the task after you click end game.. just be prepared to do that. Or u can try clicking end game then pulling the network cable. Haven't tried that either.
Regardless I believe the desync is definitly NOT accidental and people are using it to avoid losses. It sucks but it sucks even more when u work so hard to win a game and someone pulls this shit. The worst kind of rage quiters since they take your win away from your stats.
Can a few people try the above and post your results for repeatability.
A couple people I know that MAY be using this are:
Apika ladder rank 34
Belier13 ladder rank 35
I ran into them last night and look at their game played vs lost! I know for a fact the game has crashed on me atleast 30 times in the last 300 games and I prob got 15 - 20 losses resulting from the crash. No way these jokers only lost 4 games.
