I would love to see a reset of everyone's ELO in Hanabi, and then implement an automatic loss of 10 points for each abandoned game. Then people would always strive to do their best even after mistakes. Perhaps preset decks could be played only once with ELO on. ELO might actually indicate skill.

That being said, there are legitimate reasons to abandon. I have abandoned games on training mode, so it has nothing to do with ELO.

A dev might have listened to your suggestion, at least the second part, as abandoning a cooperative game is now called a "defeat". I've not checked if you lose ELO (I was using training mode), but I'd guess that's the case now.

Is it really the case? It would be awesome.

I think alternatively all non-abandon players should unite and create a group so we can avoid all the abandoners. I just created one https://boardgamearena.com/group?id=9749982. The group will take a while to grow.
