you dropped, the countdown finished and he uploaded stats. no cheating there.
Before assigning points for a victory, the ESO server checks if you actually deserve them, factoring in things like valor and human value. If that check fails the points that you would have won are deducted from your rating.

This happened to me the other day, but my rating only dropped by one point maybe. My theory is that the recent random stats uploading errors with ESO have been accumulating, and they kicked in while i was playing this game, dropping my rating, and winning the game brought it back up.

I had an odd game, I do not believe I dropped because there was no countdown, and the opposing player told me that I had won, then it appeared he had resigned.
He had just done a failed ville rush (I luv cease fire), and my rating dropped by 20 pts.

It will say he resigns when you drop, as you lose connection with the other player so the game ends as if he had resigned. However, the eso server determines who it was who dropped and deducts/adds points accordingly.
Sometimes you need to scare the lambs, tell tales of evil bad wolves. Because if there is nothing to fear, they might think for themselves.

this happened once to me before. It lagged real bad, my opponet dropped and it said i won-yet it did the same for him too.
I had a wonky rating problem yesterday. I won a game against a 1570 while being 1573 and it brought my to 1616 or some crazy number, then I lost to a 1590 and it brought me down to 1540 then I beat a 1537 and I shot up to like 1630. Then I lost afew games and went to 1590 and the rating distribution seemed to settle down and I won like 8 games in a row and went up to 1667. But there was also other games where I won but didnt get any points from the day before. Asked on experts chat, no one really answered or knew what I was talking about.
Whats the definition of insanity? Doing something the same way twice and expecting different results...
THINK ABOUT IT!
