can we just remove the matchmaking penalty? | Forums

[ValentineJackal]

this is in all seriousness as i know a good amount of people hate it. can we just remove the matchmaking penalty? i get tired of seeing how a lot of good friends have to wait 15 to 30 minutes after they get ganked and spawn killed either on dominion and breach. and why does it need to apply to even the PVE section of those modes if it was meant for PVP.

Agreed, especially since it applies to being dc from the game for no reason. You should not be forced to fight a 4bp team either imo

Right now, there are no plans to remove the matchmaking penalty at this time.

Out of curiosity, if matchmaking penalty were to be removed, what do you think should be in place of it for players who purposefully leave matches?

It should not be removed, I actually believe it should be more severe. I am tired of being left with only bots on my team and then being destroyed.

if you're someone who leaves on purpose that is one thing (even thou i will question on why leave the game on purpose to give the team a disadvantage in the first place.). However if you and your team get ganked on all the time and being forced back to your spawn point to be killed even their, having the enemy parry all of your attacks till the immunity goes away to kill you again and again, their is nothing fun about that. and for it to even effect PVE section of the game to where you get to fight the bots to let loose that anger and pressure to now wait for 15 minutes just because you left a match that was completely unfair to not just you but unfair to the whole team?

15 minutes might be enough for good friends to cool down before the next ragequit.

And the question from the other way: why should I forced to play against bots just because I picked a certain character, while my leaver opponent is allowed to play against humans even during the match?

I do not want it removed, I believe it should be more severe for breach, and less sever for other modes
20 Minutes Breach (not even the length of time you hurt your team if you leave)

I'm extremely tired of having to finish a match we definitely could have turned around when two people leave after the recruit time has ended. Also frustrating to start with a bot especially as a attackers.

10 Minutes Dominion or Deathmatch
7 Minutes Tribute
5 Minutes Duel/Brawl

Why would the penalty on PVE bother your friends? Surely they aren't getting ganked and spawn killed by the bots like they do in pvp...so no reason to abandon the game in pve. You think players should be able to leave in the middle of any match with no penalty?

Yeah longer penalty for people who just get kicked by the game for afk while playing or for a 1sc lagspike, or for no reason at all
More people running in spawn waiting for game to be over instead of having a bot actually playing

yay !

You know people talk about running in spawn. I have literally never seen a single player doing this. Im happy about that of course. But i play a lot of breach average probably twice a day at low estimate. Point being its not a huge problem and we can report those players anyways.
