Actually, the people complaining are usually the allies of said rage quitter. It really impacts the outcome of the game when you quit, thus ruining the experience for your ally/allies.

If you don't want a random assortment (and thus the potential of two UB opponents) of Demigods then play custom. Other people are trying to enjoy the game, and I don't see why their fun needs to be ruined because you've decided that hero x, y, or z is overpowered. At least with a custom game you can see what you are up against and your ally doesn't have their fun ruined.

At least with custom if someone drops/leaves the rest can all just decided to remake the match rather than worrying about stats.

Rage quiting is when you leave the game only because you got killed. If it's an unfair match-up where you have next to no chance of winning then I don't count it as a rage quit.

Agreed... the complaint is if my teammate decides to quit leaving me with AI... which effectively means I have little chance against tougher opponents.  And also, you can make whatever arguement you want about demigod a or b is OP.  What you can't say is that whoever chose those demigods has a clue how to use them, so just quiting a game and leaving someone high and dry is lame.  I would not object to a vote to surrender option though... that way, if its clear there is no chance in hell a victory is to be had, then the TEAM can agree to dump... not just the WAH demigod A is OP guy. 

if you don't like the matchups you get in pantheon games you should stick to custom games... leaving at start ruins the game for everyone else.

It just sounds like you are bad and a sore loser. Maybe you should play with bots for a bit and learn some tatics. UB is a sad, sad joke unless you let him farm you in the begining. Or heck, if you think they are so "op" and ruining the game for everyone, why don't you play one and even the sides?

I haven't played an online game in years but Demigod made me want to try it out. Now, I'm a noob and even worse, I suck. I got no problem saying that, and I have no problem getting beat. But I quit a game last week because of the nastiness not only of the opposing team but my own team mate. We were even winning. But the game apparently was taking too long for these studly afficionados so when my own team mate started verbally abusing me, I left the game.  I'm not a bit sorry. Like I said I don't mind getting beat, but so many nasty remarks and jokes really sucked the fun out of it.

Of course, I suppose it's a moot point since I haven't been able to get in a game since the last patch. But, I'll submit there can be reasons to quit besides losing.

I haven't been a part of a single game where I thought there was no chance to win. Many enemy team configurations that you would think would tear through anyone(UBx2 + EB, etc). But the funny thing is, all the games I've played are conquest, so the only goal is to kill the citadel. Once the other team gains the large advantage, they start buying citadel upgrades, usually more creeps. Which allows my team to farm those creeps at the choke points and therefore catch up in level and begin our push. I've had many many comebacks that the original poster here would have quit out of.

Just because you think someone is stronger or better than you, doesn't mean you can't beat them. I consider what the original poster is saying as rage quitting as well. He's raging over the fact that he believes certain demigods are OP. It's no different than the person that gets killed over and over again because they have no idea how to stay alive and play cautiously when they're out leveled.

I get a lot of enjoyment out of beating teams that think they are going to win from the start or think they are going to win for sure at any point during the game. A couple of times the opposing team has started their 'GG' while our citadel was getting hammered and my team has then turned the tide and ends up winning. You're never out of it. Ever.

Me playing Erebus -----> Erebus having a higher win ratio?  

I don't lose very often no matter which demigod I use.

You are kind of missing the point bringing up boxing since it isn't a team game. You aren't ruining it for anyone but the opponent (and maybe the audience).

But you are really the one missing out by quitting, the best games are those where you beat the odds. I played a game where my two teammates gave up and left me alone to play 1vs3. I still managed to turn the game and win, it was really fun

ive played vs 3 rooks it was, id say that was much worse than 3 ub's...

and if u r having problems vs ub as reg

People should not "quit" games, period. Why bother playing if you anticipate quiting if things do not go your way?

I think everyone who is rippig on the OP shouldnt be allowed to join games due to poor attitude. 

lol what a noob.

To the OP:Depends what stage of the game you quit out. If were 10 minutes into the game and you get killed a couple of times, but can still win, and you quit out then I do object to that, and you've jut wasted the time of everyone else playing the match.

If the game is a forgone conclusion then feel free to quit. Im sure some time in the future there will be a "surrender" feature put into the game so *I* dont have to waste *my* time finishing off an obviously defeated opponent.

Also I'd just like to add, that people aren't always right about there being "no hope". I was playing a game only last night when one of my team mates had decided that we were screwed, and my response to him was "We are?". Well that was just before we gained control of the artifact shop and I was able to buy the all father ring I had been saving up for. I started pushing on one side of the map to try and get control of a side spawner with an erebus teammate, and it took 3 of their demigods to keep us at bay. Meanwhile our giants steamrolled their citadel, so we ended up winning.

Eventually there will come a time when someone thinks they will lose for sure, but doesnt. Noone predicts 100% accurately.
