It might also potentially disqualify anyone who changes classes mid-match, though I'm less sure about that, and of course it'd need to account for how high the threshold even would be if it existed.

So yeah, I'm afraid such a thing wouldn't work out. As it stands, players have enough tools at their disposal to at least handle the blatant examples of bad sportsmanship. I'd just ask anyone who does use such a thing to at least give people some leeway before jumping to such measures, things do happen outside of the video game, and often during matches. If your team is playing right, you can compensate for slightly fewer active bodies in Frontline.
Agreed, someone can DC, just as someone can happen to join a match partway through. It could be possible for someone to join in this last minute, I don't suppose that isn't blocked - which might explain why someone has absolutely zero contribution or damage taken or healing done - which I have seen.

However, if by "things happening outside of the video game" - you mean that a pizza delivery/emergency/dog is throwing up and you need to leave during a match - sure life happens, deal with it, ideally leave FL or prepare to get kicked. Frontline will be there for you when you can participate.
