"oh mee goood dont ply vasiler"

(gloomyRequirement) #1

We all know matchmaking is a blend of all skillevels arbitrarily divided over all ranks - and frankly I really can’t blame the devs with the small playerbase the game has. It’s OK, I’ve come to accept it and just wish that someday a huge influx of players will occur.

Til that time I’m really missing a “report for abusive behavior” button, or something along those lines. I’m not easily upset by other players, I don’t even mind them going afk if we are on the absolute potatoteam(like I said, matchmaking is still beyond awful) and the game can’t be won. If the rest of the teammies still want to play for the xp that’s fine too - I just roll with it all.

But last game was a prime example of something I DO NOT want to accept. Some, what sounded like spanish to me, guy was playing Proxy on our team. He couldn’t play, he didn’t get kills even given the fact the literal only thing he did was try to flank enemies(It was chapel but he refused to repair ever - leaving it to our Fletcher pretty much for the duration of the match). His stupidity was abysmal and his score was equally bad. At one point he lost his shit(that is, relatively so - he had been screaming in the mic about how “fookeng stoopid” we all were whilst running around with a score at the absolute bottom of the barrel thus far). First he blamed the medic for not healing him at the other side of the map, then he switched to blaming me. Me playing Vassili with the second highest score in the team. “Oh my god dON PLY VASILER” - chat quote. He continued to support his argument that “Vasiler” was clearly the worst merc and should never be played and that that obviously was common knowledge in a language remotely resembling english.

Then he proceeded to votekick me, which obviously everyone voted against apart from the vegetable himself. And then he snapped, he started teamkilling me for the rest of the game(which didn’t exactly pay off either as I killed him more than he killed me). The game was well balanced even given the fact it was virtually 4v5, but having him actively kill me ruined the match and we eventually lost by a really small margin of time(the tortilla himself was long afk by that time).

Now there’s not much that upsets me, but he really got on my nerves. That he was in my game happens, that’s online gaming whatever - but please give me the option to report him and have him temporarily banned from future games. Currently we only have “cheater or offensive name” as potential reports. Please add something for these kind of … “people”

Yeah, people who repeatedly team kill on purpose should be outright locked from MM for weeks, they don’t deserve to play nor belong in it.

(neverplayseriou) #3

Uhmm if he was useless and was teamkilling+ raging why didn’t you guys vote kick him? :stuck_out_tongue:

(gloomyRequirement) #4

I literally tried but got voted against twice. One guy never voted on anything and another guy voted against kicking him in both scenarios.

I never had this happen to me, but I’ve encountered something similar enough in L4D2, I was playing on an empty server, this guy came in and then just started shooting me. I suspect I ran into him sometime before or something, but I don’t know or care, either way he was a dick and thank god it wasn’t DB MM so I could just bail with no repercussions.

Ever heard of titanfall? The game hyped to the heavens and now barely anyone plays, let alone remembers? They locked reported hackers into their own little realm so they don’t interfere with regular play. We need that. Don’t even bother maintaining those servers that much so they play with massive ping and regular crashes.

I’d like these types players who do targeted teamkilling to be removed from the competitive system, temporarily or permanently on multiple reports after the first temporary ban.

You can ignore the chat and the voice commands, even mute their mics, but you can’t really ignore being targeted by a teammate and playing 4vs6. Currently I’ve been lucky enough not to experience anything like this, but without any real penalty this could certainly become a big problem if anyone with an account of at least level 7 can troll their team without any action being taken upon their behaviour.
The vote system is also ridiculous to make any real use of it.

But in general I hope teamkilling doesn’t become too punishable, as accidents do happen, but more than anything, if your medic has his/her healing ability on cooldown and there is enough time, just do that teamkill and revive with near full HP.

(Probably most effective tactic with Sparks, her health packs are small, so they would only feed 1 merc to full hp from very low hp and if a second medic isn’t currently around, act fast. Play dirty, but also smart. You don’t play MM for the score or KD, you play it to win it and if you’re in it to win it, anything goes :wink: . )

If there will be a system to punish teamkilling, I just hope this valid tactic doesn’t suffer because of it.

I don’t know why the guy complained about Vassili. He is clearly THE most OP merc of the game. Anyone who picks him up and plays him are simply invincible. I demand another nerf on this one.

P.S Dirty Bomb is an amazing game. It’s fantastic.

Considering that I can actively 1v1 Vassili at range using a scoped Stark, I’ll have to disagree here.

I’m sure given the dislike on Merciless’ post and the reply just now, Merciless is thinking to himself…

It’s just those 2 Vassili mains still complaining about the jump-accuracy-nerf and try too hard to be funny with gifs. And boosting their rep.

M8, the pro level was back when he had 100HP - taking him down with 2 revolver headshots :slight_smile:

Wait. Did the revolver deal 30 damage on body?

One does 25, the other one 27*. So if you were closer than damage falloff it took just 2 shots with each of them.

(*) at least they did when I last tried that with Rhino

(DMaster2) #16

Happened to me too, but in casual (first stage of underground) and the dude decided to block my view since i joined the match. Then complained how useless i was since i had only 1000 points. Then i reminded him i joined 2 minutes from the end of the match, and he replied whatever. Certain people are stupid, don’t mind them.

(doxjq) #17

I’ve played one game of ranked since they implemented this update, and it consisted of a 240ms ping, with a 280ms team mate, and another team mate who sat on our spawn the entire game using Thunder, flashbanging us every spawn wave and shooting us all in the back 2-3 times every spawn (but he didn’t ever kill us, so we couldn’t kick him)

Never touching it again. The whole random team mates thing is beyond retarded.

(neverplayseriou) #18

@rancid ofc u can kick him if he’s griefing/trolling…

(doxjq) #19

Team mates wouldn’t vote. Pretty sure 2 of the people on our team didn’t even speak english and/or maybe 1 was a mate of his.

(doxjq) #20

None the less @neverplayserious 240-280ms is bull crap any way. It isn’t playable against people “of equal skill” when they carry a 20-40ms ping. Trying to hit bunny like wall jumping Kira’s with 250 ping is just impossible.

They confirmed the ban of Australian and Asian servers is temporary, but they never explained why. I can’t even think of a reason why they would do it, other than to try and force us to play on American servers to boost the population, but I’m pretty sure that is backfiring something chronic.

I have friends who have actually given up on the game due to this update, who simply don’t have the patience to wait for the reversal of such a numpty update. Honestly I thought they were trolling and said to myself “Yeah whatever you’ll be back in 2-3 days when you miss the game” but they still haven’t touched the game yet. We can’t even start private servers as they’ve removed Australia and Asia from private matches as well. It forces us to play North USA :neutral: We have public servers and that’s it. Two of those friends were two of my current team mates, so now I’m actually having to make a new team.

Might sound a little dramatic but I can fully understand where they’re coming from. But hey they might come back. None the less if they do it’s still a huge set back for us, and it makes no sense at all. This update is simply just farking us Australians/New Zealanders/Asians around.

We have upcoming competitions as well this month. 4seasonsgaming is running one, I believe some other crowd was planning to run one too, and dbnation had one set for mid to late month as well. We can’t practice for these competitions at all since we can’t make private lobbies, so basically unless the devs make servers for us on the day the competitions simply won’t happen because you’re not going to get 10 players trying to play on 250+ ping to the other side of the world.
