Hi,
Currently ranked is totally unplayable, there is too many leavers, most of the matches are 4v5 or 3v5.
Leavers must be ban one week the first time they quit, and for the whole season the 2nd time.
Dirtybomb is actually in a very bad/sad state, close to death in my opinion.
Nope. I’ve experienced numerous disconnects and game crashes, most of the time I can reconnect, but there have been times where it was towards the end and could not restart fast enough to make the bell.
The system cannot differentiate between rage-quitters, trolls, and unanticipated disconnects.
I’m very thankful for the first ‘penalty’ being lenient as well as the reset timer for a single disconnect being short.
I think all of us rage quitted at least one time / season. And if they ban then ranked will be empty the second week xD.
There are pc problems,net, personal problems and rage quitters/trolls. There is no way you can say who is who.
The RESUME has to works of course.
Ranked is already dead as it’s just a BIG SH*T, it can’t be worse.
And people yelled at me about wanting some sort of 3-strike policy on punishments for leavers…

Trouble is they’re not all leavers…people get DC’ed and it seems often enough they can’t get back.
A while ago, I was playing Overwatch a few days after one of my family members was recovering from surgery. They ended up fainting outside my room and had to be taken to the hospital.
Our powerlines here are also fairly old and near lots of tall trees. Whenever it gets significantly windy, there’s a chance I’ll lose power.
There was also a bug a while ago causing people to disconnect from matches, and then freeze the game in a loading screen when they tried to rejoin.
Point is, there are valid reasons for leaving a ranked match, and a lot of then are unavoidable. Yes, leavers suck, but why not change how matchmaking considers rank so leavers have less of an impact, rather than just try to punish leavers more? No matter what, you’ll level completely stop people from leaving. The solution to this and many other problems in ranked, is to base rank off personal skill moreso than wins or losses with random, constantly changing teammates.
I agree there should be a higher punishment for people who leave in ranked games. But since a lot of people claim they are disconnecting, i don’t think it would be fair to them. I only dc’ed once in a ranked game and was able rejoin instantly, looks like some other players are not so lucky.
If some people have too many disconnect, maybe they shouldn’t play ranked? And I don’t think there is so many technical disconnect… My five lasts matches :
Then what’s the meaning of this current Ranked? Why are we supposed to play it as it’s totally bullsh*t?
If there were 1 week ranked ban the firsts 2 disconnects and then perm ranked ban, I know lots of players who will play Ranked again. Currently Ranked if for people who don’t care about Ranked. This is the worse possible situation.

Damn man you really nailed his point and proved him completely wrong with your high accuracy error-free scientific data

Maybe if you had read beyond my first point and payed attention to the rest of my comment it would help.
I’m suggesting rank be based on personal performance so leavers no longer ruin matches and cause people to rank/derank because of it, and people who might experience issues can still play ranked without fear of harming their team.
Like I said, no matter how much you punish people, you’ll never stop leavers. Ever notice how, despite the fact that DB permanently bans all cheaters on first offense, there are still new cheaters popping up all the time? And they still have the potential to ruin matches? All banning people for a week on a first offense, and permanently on a second offense does is significantly lower the amount of people who can play ranked.
Ranked’s playerbase is already extremely small. Banning someone for a week because of something out of their control is harmful enough, permanently banning them would probably be the death of it. Not like most players would even feel like coming back to ranked after a week ban anyways.
You can’t stop leavers. All you can do is make it so leavers don’t ruin a match.
you can’t perm ban people from playing even if they did have a hissy fit and left, that’s just not going to happen

looks to me, that you couldn’t carry hard enough to win 4vs5

Then SD should stop to ban cheaters? looool
Of course, there is still cheaters, but less… It would be the same for Ranked, still some leavers, but less than currently.

But do you know why it’s extremely small? Because it totally sucks cause of balance and leavers…
And today it’s even smaller because I stop this sh*t too. You’ll can continue to play ranked with your stupid low level leavers as everybody else already quit.

I already had to carry people with only 50h (according to Steam) yes, then at only 4v5…

Ofc if you are bronze you will end with low lvls or even a lv 7 in team. IS NOT STRANGE the fact you have problems with quitters in both sides.
Low lvls don’t give a shit about ranked and they just leave the match once they are pissed off.
For this reason a MIN LVL 30(25 can be “fine”) is a must in ranked. They should know at least maps&mercs.
The problem can be solved as well by taking back ranked points from quitters for these who care only about skins and not about rank xD
