Remake System

The Remake system is a great idea but it's current state is garbage. I had a teammate connect to game, be unable to move or use anything, gets disconnected at :45 into game. After 3 min we aren't able to reconnect because it says Remakes are only for games where one or more people fail to connect. No one had died yet. So because he connected for 45 seconds, and ends up being unable to reconnect for 30min, we have to take a loss? Whats the point of the system if it's so finicky?
