Abort the game when my opponent leaves

Hello wonderful lichess developers.

My opponent disconnected from my game after a few moves, which happens occasionally in my games. I am given the option of claiming victory or calling the game a draw. Neither option seems entirely fair, especially when my opponent is considerably lower-rated than I am. I think it would be nice to have the third option of simply aborting the game.

Thanks!

Oh , really I am one of those who claim a win when my opponent leaves the game. (I claim wins when my opponent is higher rated mostly)
If they left , you won. If aborts were able to given out freely there would be some holes left behind for exploitation.
@Sazed That's a very evasive answer. I'm not talking about aborts being given out freely; I'm talking about being able to abort a game when your opponent leaves the game. I fail to see any exploitable holes there.
