Here is why Quit Penalty will backfire | Forums

In dominion there is meant to have some objectives.Not roam the map as 4 trying to cc-gank everything in my way.

honestly, I don't really get this argument. if the enemy team is running as 4, it would be really easy to counter-capture the objectives if your own team splits up, wouldn't it? this sh'it doesn't really work in Dominion, it's a dumb strategy. all 4 enemy players are chasing you? good, take them for a trip so they can waste more of their time trying to kill you while the remaining 3 of your teammates capture all objectives. even when I'm guarding a point and 2 enemies come up, I try to hold out for as long as possible because I know this situation creates an advantage for the rest of my team.

I really hate when I'm dueling someone on the point and not one teammate but all 3 come to 'help'. Yaaaay, we just lost 2 objectives for one kill. it's really counter-productive and a poor use of your teams resources.

It has nothing to do with winning or losing, it is simply unfun to play pacman. I did that early season 2 as PK, never fighting ganksquad just capping what they left unprotected and winning. But after 3-4 matches it is extremely boring. And teaming as 4 vs their squad is also boring, it is same as skirmish which is the least popular mode even before DLC heroes were introduced.

So you are right, it is not hard to win against them, but who cares when it is that unfun?

countering their playstyle by splitting up will result them in losing games, the more games they'll lose, the sooner they'll realise that this strategy is not the way to go, which in result will reduce the amount of ganking squads. it's that simple. I personally don't see that in Dominion all that much, most people seem to comprehend that grouping up as 3 or 4 players in Dominion is a bad idea. the losing strategy will never prevail, the winning will.

I think you are giving people way too much credit. Noone cares about the win lose really, not without a ranked mode. They value K/D way more.

People just gank or ledge others and then emote spam, working strategy matter very little to most people as opposed to their K/D on score.

Penalty is nonsense, because game crash a lot. Every 4-5 match game crash to me and i dont want penalty because peoples cry. How you differentiate ragequiters and crashing/connection game peoples??

I did not get any penalty for me after game crashed. Happened 3 times in one hour, so I dont think there is a problem of getting penalty after crash.

well, people do care actually, win ratio also reflects in statistics, not only K/D, that's why you're seeing people quitting at the end of the match. a loss is a loss - it never feels good, even if you played decent. unless you're going against trolly pre-made team, you're not going to see ganking squads all that much, you might be overestimating the amount of trolls in FH. unless you're playing on console and people have a different mentality there, I play on PC and ganking squads was never an issue in Dominion. Skirsmish - sure, because this strategy makes sense there.
