Ilove the idea of this, as well as bonuses for killing the lead killer on the opposing team.

I don't understand why someone should be punished for gaining a lead or rewarded for falling behind. With the AI I can understand but otherwise? No.

I support this idea. Prevents good players from leaning so heavily on gains from less experienced players. They still benefit of course, but the boon is gradually tilted to be less of an exploit.

this should be added - as should other options for helping comebacks possible(someone posted a lot about flag caps and others). it's too hard for casuals to enjoy the game when they can never comeback because one mistake. at least this will help if they aren't pro. this would be good as an option

as i disclaim with most my replies where wickedbear posted, ignore him, he hasn't acknowledge that there is a casual playerbase. go pro or go home seems to be his opinion

I like the idea of making this an option. While I am not ok with rewarding those who fell behind or for failing in the first place. If someone is getting a lot of kills, ie the lead killer, and you manage to kill this person yah sure, maybe get some extra gold because who really wants to go after this probably higher leveled mofo?

Having it as an option that affects only AI would probably be the best in my opinion. Even I fall susceptible to "Ok their TB is an AI, let's feed off him" kind of thinking. The decrease in EXP or GOLD from the AI would have to be substantial because honestly, that would not stop me from killing him(the AI).

I definetely agree, turnarounds are far more common if you don't concede(kind of a common sense statement). But there are times when hey, you're way to far behind in war score, have no gold, out leveled, out played, and you've got AI on your team. Maybe...just maybe...I would concede.

its disgusting how many of you think this is a good idea. I'f your dying to much its  because your doing something wrong. If you continue to do something wrong, you should continue to get punished for it. the only way I could think of making this even remotley acceptible would be if you also got a decrease in stats/gold/xp and posibly even earned favor points, and even then its nothing I would ever go for.

remeber, babying people is never the right solution.

I think instead there should be some sort of scoring system based on your win/loss ratio that is shown somewhere in the lobby next to a persons name. That way you can quickly decide BEFORE a game starts if the teams are equal or not. Theres similar systems in other RTS games and it usually makes balancing teams up a lot easier, being able to weed out super noobs or über pros quiet easily.

I mean currently I think the biggest problem is the game matchup system, inexperienced players being matched up against way to experience players. Not to mention people playing Premades and not informing others of it, its just plain rude. We all know teamwork is half the win and its a whole lot harded for someone to build up good teamwork with somene they just meet.

I mean I was in this one game where I told my teammates early on I would save up and invest in certain Citadel upgrades asap, if they would return the favour and take a few of them as well so I could get my gear up as well. Everybody was like yeah cool that sounds like a plan. So sometime around midgame I check the citadel and nobody has bought a single upgrade, instead people spent their gold on gear for themself in some lame attempt to get some solo kills. Just to end up rage quiting before even hitting level 10. So there I am sitting with a well upgraded citadel, no friggin gear and stuck with 2 AI's. Did I mention I was playing a support specced QoT? I specifily informed my team I was playing a support role and would shield them as long as they stayed in range. I told people not to rush for towers chasing another Demigod, but to wait them in to your own tower. What do people do? Time after time running past the towers just to get trapped between 2 demigods and not only getting themself killed but me in the process as well.

Wish this was an isolated case, but its about 25% of the random games I play. Sorry for half the post being completly offtopic, but needs to be repeated untill every goddamn rambo knows teamwork = the win.

This idea as a whole... NO GOD DAMNED WAY! It is not needed and as people before me have said: "IF YOU DIE, ITS YOUR OWN FAULT!"

I would much rather see an adjustable option for gold penalty on dying. (but seeing as this is actually the opposite of what the OP intended i won't go into much detail) Or maybe an adjustable bounty option (small like 50 gold each kill spree: +50 at smiter up to +450 at godlike. or high like 200 gold each kill spree).

Hey idiot, could you try reading first? Stop quoting me out of context.

It is your fault, you didn't support him or work as a team. We don't reward failure, and no one does either in this world. If the player is dying that much you shouldn't continue to play the game anyway, theres a nice feature in the game to help you out faster >> Concede. end of discussion

Stop shitting all over the thread with your insults and pedantry.

It's not my fault if they are doing their own thing. I can do stuff to assist them to the best of my ability, but I can't help it if they are a bad player. You know this. Stop trying to squirm out of it with your pedantic arguments.

And concede only works if other people on your team concede as well. A lot of the times this is not the case, so I am presented with the option of staying in the game and wasting my time, or quitting and being replaced with AI (which is unfair to the good players on my team).

Diminishing returns for killing the same player is not "rewarding failure". That's the most fantastically retarded logic I have ever seen. Diminishing returns for killing the same player is "decreasing punishment for repetitive failure", and "decreasing rewards for farming the same player over and over". I think both of these are pretty fair.

lol like the game just ends saying "Pre-determined Win!..you were going to lose anyways"

So another topic that essentially boils down to poor matchmaking and not really needing more hotfixes that don't solve underlying issues.

Hot-fixing and adding rules and policy's that don't make sense in a "fair" game is never the way to solve problems. 

Yes, I agree, we need matchmaking badly.
