can we just remove the matchmaking penalty? | Forums

me and my friends find the penalty annoying for it affecting PVE when we get tired of PVP from constantly getting ganked on.

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.

I have seen a few, but most of the time teamates just ignore the penalty and quit anyway.

Doesnt solve the dc problem, a friend of mine gets those daily, mostly due to second long lag spikes which he experiences a handful of a day. Meanwhile you have people lagswitching all game long and who get dc after 10mn or so

Longer penalty would prob discourage some players of quitting, but will most likely increase the number of people who just afk and wait for it to be over

Perhaps adding a steel/exp penalty could substitute for the timer penalty? 15 minutes for the first offense is somewhat severe. (Though understandable) On many occasions players are faced with near unwinnable odds. Breach and Dominion has existed with toxicity for seasons. (Season 2 Console till now)

REWARD players who stay THINK players SHOULD get EXTRA bonuses IF fighting players with bots on their team , its OBVIOUS you got less odds and little chance of winning if players leave and your stuck and put in **** for carrying on , sometimes EVEN at start of match its myself/friend and 2 bots against 4 good players HARDLY fair so for sticking it out SHOULD be rewarded

Remove that darn penalty, that punishes me for quitting matches with useless. clueless, unmotivated teammates?

Where can I sign?

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.

and im hate when people leave my team make me and my team lose

ok fine for you have fun play PVE

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?

Ganking is part of the game, so quitting because you are being ganked is not a valid reason for someone to quit a match(in any game mode).

you can still create a custom game to fight bots or practice in the training arena..

The penalty applies to any game mode where you can earn steel/Xp. Why should they allow quitters to still gain steel/xp after they just put their team at a disadvantage.

I think if you leave the match like go to the start menu and choose to leave a game hit them with a penalty if they go ask or lag out maybe give the a lesser penalty and for god sakes make the team temporarily invulnerable and not able to be stuned until a amount of time passes short like 5 or 6 seconds or until they attack or use a feat so you know while I just spawned I don't get attacked this especialy applys to breach as there are many points where when you spawn you can be shot by a Ballista.

If you're a wizard, there is no penalty.
