The rulebook for base Dominion states that if players are tied after application of tiebreaker, then the players "rejoice in their shared victory".  Isotropic actually posted this phrase straight up after a tie.

CouncilRoom.com of course posts records as W-L-D and so does Goko.  So ties are not actually treated as a W for both players apparently.

About how much do ties affect one's rating?  Is it deleterious to tie a lower-ranked player and disproportionally better to tie a higher-ranked player?  Or is it really treated as a win for both players?  I tend to doubt the latter as my rating has fallen after tying lower-ranked players and risen quite a bit for tying superior players.  Thanks!

They affect your rating, but not by a lot. Tying with lower-ranked players makes your rating go down, and tying with higher-ranked players makes it go up. For me, the change is usually around 7-9, while the change for a win or a loss is around 30-60.

The drop in rating for a tie can be significant. For example, in a four player game against the bots I will lose ranking if I tie in first place and beat the other two bots.
