Idle penalty on ranked is BS.

[StIwY]

I can’t play for about two hours because i got kicked two times and got two penalties in +12 hours…seriously ?

I only play DB occasionally and only ranked. I can’t find any reason to get kicked just because i was idle, and also, getting a STACK for this ?. I was ready to play all day, but no…access denied…and for what ?

So basically i have to shut down my whole house, shut down every phone and lock myself into my room, just to play ranked.

-If i might get an important call, i have to ignore and play, otherwise i will get penalty.
-If i have an diarrhea attack, i will get penalty.
-If someone ring my doorbell, i will get penalty (like because of the courier yesterday)…which stack with the previous.

-If is there is an earthquake, i get the x3 stack of penalty…
-If some thief enters to my house…no…i can’t leave my PC station…or i will get a x5 stack…etc etc.

Everyone have their lifes to live. Devs, are you aware how this is unreasonable ? I doubt that making such decisions can expand the playerbase. Ranked is already a desert land before 4:00pm, if you don’t let people play…things will get worse…and then /uninstall will be the answer.

Do you suppose that wait time multiplier on credits earned is a good thing?

for the first 5 minutes wait, credit multiplier = 50%

for the next 5 minutes, credit multiplier = 75%

for the next 5 minutes, credit multiplier = 88%

for every 3 minutes past 15 minute wait, add another 10% cumulatively up to a maximum 500%.

Credit compensation will be worth the attention RMM demands.

kinda rough life you got there. You sure you want to play video games while a thief is knocking on your bathroom door, while you sit on a shaking toilet having explosive diarrhea?

jokes aside: Ever thought of the experience others have, if AGAIN someone dropped out of a ranked game? Everyone has responsibilities and if you feel like you cannot play a ranked game without being interrupted, then maybe it is not the right thing for you. The devs are not responsible for you to grow up being an adult who can manage his time somewhat efficiently.

In the end it is just a 2h restriction to make you think, what you did wrong - except if you are not understanding.

I was a sustainer of penalties on ranked mode last year, the problem is, as i said, penalty stacks, which is unfair in this case. Going idle could happen more times /day, that’s all, why i have to be punished due to circumstances beyond my control ?

The problem is, it STACKS, not the penalty itself.

if you have the risk going idle dont play ranked.
Play Casual Matchmaking.

You clearly didn’t understood what i said. A teamkiller do this on purpose, while going afk could happen to anyone anytime.

Idle penalty on ranked is BS.

well, tbh, it actually is, cuz team won’t get anyone else in place of kicked one, so it actually punishes the team, not that kicked guy who might just walk away from the game in the time being, I mean, he might have gotten back a bit later, but after kick = no chance of his return and mostly no chance for game win, GG. BS yes

[frostyvampire]

You can’t control what will happen, true.
But you ruin the game for 9 other players if you go idle. The kick is only triggered after 3 minutes or so of being idle, that’s enough to go to the door if someone rings the bell at least 10 times.
If you have an earthquake or a heart attack, the penalty is the last thing you should worry about. And if that happens it only happens once, the penalty for leaving once is not very harsh.

Just don’t go AFK in ranked. And if you really need to go for a minute, you can call a vote to pause.

[Mc1412013]

Should be in ranked only a personal pause button. But if u do a personal pause you do not earn any base credits or xp during that time and theres a minute limit on the pause. This way if u need answer door or emergancy pee break u dont get kicked, pause is limited once per game and you cam still take damage if out of spawn.

Fact of the matter is you could have very well caused 2 teams to lose…may not be all your fault but it still happened.

Not being able to play for 2 hours seems like a light penalty…

there are many intentional AFK
(most of these are newbies which makes up the 80% of DB players)

they went AFK because they want to get ez ranked points
they usually do this when they see Cobalt or gold in their team and thinks
“oh yeah dude, im gonna get carried. Might as well just AFK.”

they move their mouse every 30 sec so the kick wont get triggered.

if you want to be angry, go angry at the people who abuse Idling.
its their fault we have system like this in place.

Yes i fully expect that when my teammates queue for ranked they have made the time for it.
Most phone calls are not that important and you can call back a few minutes later,
If you suffer from diarrhea its common sense not to play ranked.
If you expect a package dont fucking play ranked.
The amount of people that go afk is way too high.
I;m glad that you got that penalty, around 1 in the 4 matches i have played got ruined by people going afk, hell i wish there was a even more severe penalty for going afk but sadly we dont have the playerbase for it.

[Artyrim]

I play ranked always after 8:00 pm when I’m free but sometimes you may have something important to do . I’m fine to be kicked if I’m afk for 2/3 min or more but at least don’t give that damn penality

[ThePigVomit]

If you play ranked, DON’T MUFFUGIN GO IDLE!!!

Simply put, 2 hours penalty is a slap on the wrist. If you’re not gonna block out the time, stick to pubs.

People like you are the ones that wreck the ranked experience for the rest of us.

Simply put, if you go idle at any time during a ranked match, you just guaranteed your team a loss. The motto of DB is ‘Don’ t be a dick.’

Cheezing off in a ranked match is the pinnacle of dick moves.

That’s not me, i never tk/dc during ranked. I just find unfair the stack for idle penalty, and that was the first time i got it.

[Begin2018]

You were kicked 2 times for being idle in Ranked and you had only 2 hours penalty?
They should ban you at least 24 hours, and do the same thing for leavers. I stopped to play ranked because of d*cks as you!

If you choose life over a video game, great (kinda how it should be); but Multiplayer waits for no one…
!(until the pause feature came out, then it waits ~2minutes average)
In the future you should let your team know that “you’ll be back in a sec: Emergency!” and hit the pause vote button. It’s there for a reason.

You should get penalized because ranked is supposed to be approached with a team, or with a more hardcore outlook. The whole point is that you’re looking for a full 30 minute or so match that tests your skills while seeing how you come out compared to everyone else. Penalizing players that don’t give their all to the game during the time set out makes sense. The poor matchmaking times and balance don’t, but those aren’t easily fixable with the small playerbase we have.

You also clearly weren’t ready to play all day; you wouldn’t have been idle if you were.

That’s a great idea, would make me feel better about queuing ranked for 20 minutes.

[bgyoshi]

Requiring 10 adults to simultaneously have 30 uninterrupted minutes is a joke and just more reason to avoid Ranked like the plague

Fix your shitty stopwatch mode

Better idea: Stopwatch gets increasing timers that start low (exactly like Objective mode) and there’s a 3 minute intermission between halves.

Yes, that’s exactly what we expect you to do if your life is so hectic. You made a commitment to play in a ranked environment and it’s on you to be in a position to play; it’s not the game’s responsibility to cater to your inconsistency. Everyone else sat in that queue for a long time as well and their game gets jacked up when a teammate doesn’t spawn in or frequently goes idle.

It’s not rocket science. If people can make time for going out with buddies, they can do the same for ranked. If people can make time to watch their favorite sports team play, they can do the same for ranked. If you had to leave for a significant reason, a minor time penalty on a game should be the least of your concerns.
There should be MORE penalties for people who frequently quit or afk.

Merry Christmas. It’s your fault, not the game’s.
