So far I have liked that the problem of 'rage quiting' has been addressed at least, and some harsher
punishments with losing favor ect. have been put in place. Although this is a good step, I don't think
it's nearly enough to deter players from doing it. Most people have started to acquire plenty of favor
to get the couple of items they need for their favorite DG to play, and thus they still leave.
I think the best idea would be to restrict players that quit or get dced from joining another Pantheon
match for 10 min or so. This would hopefully help people stick out matches, and give those of us
a chance who actually stay, instead of getting an AI. (
) I don't think a lot of players realize how
possible ridiculous comebacks are, as I've had a few when "I knew I was going to lose."
Some people have also argued that punishing players that DC may not be right, but it's necessary.
First of all, if the restriction is just put on people that 'quit' then they'll find away to make the game
appear to DC, as there are quite a few ways. Secondly, I think as the system gets better we will get
to the point where people really don't DC when it's not on purpose. I think I have seen one player
that 'timed out' when we were winning. Every other time they just happen to time outwhen we or
they are getting owned.
All in all I think this would be a great idea for at least the Pantheon to help force people to not
screw other people's ranks. Lemme know what you all think.
