"wide skill range" popup inconsistent with same set of people

[hecate]

i experienced some inconsistency with this popup tonight:

- queued with two friends, got about halfway done with a match. someone outside our stack abandoned, so we dipped from the match
- skill warning pop-up was still present for party upon return to main menu
- there was also a "game update" prompt, so we all restarted our clients
- upon reforming the party after the update, no Skill Issue warning for the party

i don't really see why the warning would disappear after client relaunches, unless it was just stale state somehow - but that also doesnt make sense, since we squadded up, played a short match that became Safe To Abandon (and shouldn't adjust mmr? much?), and it.... doesn't feel right that a Safe Abandon would adjust numbers enough for that to happen?

MMR took time to update because the game wasn't finished yet. After the loss was registered, the gap wasn't that wide anymore, hence no warning.
And yes, the result of the abandoned game is still counted for MMR, so you should always keep playing even if someone leaves if you feel that you can still win the match.
