No because:
1. Rank means jack shit here because the current ranking system is floored
2. You didn't win anything
3. Force updating ELO both up and down outside of the players stats will cock things up over time
4. Because of #4 the only safe way to do it is to have it count as a win, which will also add QI & TC*; as well as change the quit/spec/AFK thing to a forced loss.
*where applicable
5. People will just make alts & constantly join/quit against their main because users seem to think rank here means something - even more so due to #4
You really need to think things though before coming out with silly ideas.
The OP is a good suggestion, aside from people who quit/spec/AFK a match having an ELO penalty there should be no changes to stats. Clearly the current situation is a bug or an oversight.
