Pantheon - Premades, please do something
No reason to continue playing Pantheon when you have people like these that continually leave games at the start because they didnt get their premade /map / play style. DO SOMETHING.

Wow those two are a bit douche-y. On the flip side we really need clanwars.
I stopped playing pantheon for reasons like this some time ago... if you care about stats or even just having a fair match, people can still drop after the game has started (or at the connect screen) resulting in uneven matchups. Looking at the stats, there have been quite a few games today in pantheon where those 2 are playing together (not necessarily indicitive of them doing anything shady, but definitely looks that way). I didn't see too much of them playing together in the past, though (but I only briefly looked through a few days). Very lame that they are dropping so quickly though and ruining the experience for others.

All from today. That said, I don't really think anything can be done regarding this.
I admit to being guilty of having done this a few times. Especially because half your stats don't update until you play a Pantheon game. My apologies, but there are certainly things I've done in my life I feel sorrier for.
'tis sad there is no team automatch yet.
What's weird is that igramosch seems to often drop at the start even when wizzla manages to join the game on the same side...
igramosch is a good player, I can vouch for that, but this seems like a bit shady and rather dickish effectively ruining most of the matches he takes part in by quitting within three minutes.
I remember seeing a thread awile back about something that would fix rage quiting that could be implemented here it was something like if the person left the game before the end they wouldn't be allowed to play another one until the previous one ended...but since some people would conceed to this something like if the game ended less than 5 minutes after they left and they left 0-10 minutes into the game to not allow them to join another game for 10 minutes.
I've done this a number of times msyelf... But who cares? Most of the time when I play without someone I know the match always winds up being rather dull... Someone leaves, someone sucks, there's AI, etc... Not too mention the fact that stats are borked.
Edit:this is like noobs joining "pro" games and whatnot you guys always argue it ruins your fun but premades entering the PUGs automatching system ruins ours thats ridiculous that you guys have the nerve to talk about noobs ruining your fun after you come in and ruin PUGs???
Matches must be so exciting when it's premades noob stomping! Oh the crazy excitement in whethen you win in ten minutes or fifteen! Who cares? I'm pretty sure that your opponents care when they have a huge disadvantage through no fault of their own. Suckers! Playing to the spirit of the game mode - hah!
nvm
Honestly, I don't understand why most PuGs prefer Pantheon over Skirmish.
Pantheon:
- is down for 2-3 days sometimes
- you can join as premade team
- the light/dark demigod seperation leads to really boring/annoying match-ups sometimes
Skirmish:
- always available
- much harder to play as premade, better chance for PuGs
- more variety because light/dark side demigods can be on the same team
- you can play all 8 demigods in each game, no restrictions
- chance of people droping because they weren't matched up with their premade friend is basically nil
Colonel_Jessep is wise (and all around cool dude to boot!)
My Problem with skirmish is that I always seem to wait a lot longer to get placed into a skirmish match. Pantheon and skirmish mode fill the same purpose in my mind: Allow for non premade games that are different than the usual 3v3 on cataract. I think a lot of problems would be solved if they just merged the two formats and got rid of the whole dark vs light thing (which has no significance at all). Then there could be a space for premades and a place for the more casual players looking for a little variety. On a side note, it might be useful to allow players to choose their demigod after they have been matched in pantheon or skirmish... it might lead to less people quiting out because they didn't get what they wanted.
Do people even play Skirmish? I can sit there for a long while before getting matched against AI. I have never understood why there is even a distinction between the two. It just serves to split the population.
Yes, skirmish is better than pantheon, people leaving makes pantheon even worse. I always try to find a skirmish game first, but since so many (of the few not playing custom) tend to be in pantheon, I go there as well. if only people that doesn't want premades go for skirmish, we would have plenty of games to go around. Let the premade have customs (and pantheon too it seems), and let the rest of us who actually enjoy a fair fight swarm to skirmish.
