Constant leavers in Ranked


(WaffleFryz) #1

Almost every ranked game I’ve have played so far (Season 2) has had a player rage quit, making the match heavily one-sided. Is the penalty for abandoning not harsh enough or am I just unlucky?


(everlovestruck) #2

I have played over 20 matches yet and nearly every other match was 5v4, but leavers usually returned after few minutes
My guess is people crash from the game really often(happened to me once when I alt-tabbed on warmup)

Imo this game is way too buggy for extremely harsh penalties. Yeah, quitters suck, but so does the amount this game crashes. And in an extremely long match like ranked can be, there’s plenty of time for these crashes to happen. I’ve had the game mess up so bad I wasn’t even able to reopen it until the next day or whatever.
And even then, life still calls sometimes, and people can have reason to leave.

I really just wish ranked was more than 5v5 though. The more players, the less noticeable it is if one disappears, even if it’s just 6v6.
Not to mention 5v5 just feels basic and boring to me. If they made it more like the normal game modes, they’d probably get a lot more players’ interested anyways and wouldn’t have to fix it to 5v5

i had a crash usually 1-2 times per day but i can return thanks to SD cool system

That’s not the only thing you’ll have to contend to.

There are also those that don’t play in the spirit of competitiveness and are just after the skins. They’re happy to concede the game early, and given the chance, they’ll throw off the game to get 10 ranked points. I’ve had 4 of 7 games lately that went that way and it’s really frustrating cause I’m being thrown in with a bunch of scrub level mediocres for the sake of balance.

Leavers should lose ranked points if not disconnected. First time 30, then 50 and after that 100 points for each quit. They will learn quickly to stay…

BTW there is a surrender vote, so they could just start a vote if they think they can’t win, without creating an imbalanced situation

There was a player in our team who called for surrender when we were about 3 seconds from winning. Talk about a typical A 5 5 H 0 L 3.

Im only in ranked for the skins as well but i know going in im commited to the full game . i want as many cards as i can get so i play to win cuz 10 credits is worthless of you have to play 100 matches for a card. Plus i know that there re people in there that play seroiusly and want a high rank so i try not to ruin it for them by having an “i dont care if i win” atitude ill go play objective or execution if im in that mind set.

What do you expect…this game grows more disappointing by the day…for a game that has held back content for over a year till they broke away from SD, and all they got is a new skin for ranked.

No new maps…mercs…nothing at all but a rather generic looking skin.

Well they don’t have any fingers to point the blame at except themselves now…

we now know it was still being colored and was tweaked
also, now we know that SD has a small dev number working on DB since they are hiring

in mean time, i can still enjoy DB like i did every day


(hawkeyeguy99) #14

I think I’ve played 1 full game where everyone stayed for the whole match. I’d like to see DB adopt a system similar to CS:GO’s comp. (pardon the comparison). If you abandon a match for any reason it starts as a half hour cool down, and it gets longer from there, reaching up to a 2 week ban from comp and eventually ban from comp altogether if the player keeps offending. If the player is good for a period of say 3 weeks then all these punishments go away and they start with a clean slate. Discourages abandoning and yet also provides for grace when it’s genuine accidents.
