Leave Counter

(1/4) > >>

GeoRmr:
Is anybody else getting tired of being punished with the leave counter because of frequently occurring bugs and/or server issues forcing you to abandon a match?

+ General discussion about why we have the leave counter, and if we actually need|want|don't-want|should| have one.

Nidh:
It never really added anything in my opinion, I hardly ever check other player's leave count anyway. Most people who have any leaves at all are because of lag. I'd rather have the lag problems fixed, never in any game have I heard so many (legitimate) claims of lag problems.

Battle Toads:
I have a lot of leaves and most of them involve lag or something important coming up (yes there are things more important than GoIO :P) however I have not seem to have my leave count put against me. Most people rarely check the leave count on players above LVL 5 but sometimes I can tell how co operative a novice will be based on his leave count, for example someone with 28 games and 23 leaves is probably going to be a problem.

So I really don't care if they keep it or not, but in the end it is just a number that people can't really hold against you

Skrimskraw:
i think the system could be removed.

muse is not perma banning people anyway, so why they want to stigmatise players for leaving is weird. And yes many leaves are the product of lag

Captain Smollett:
I actually am a proponent and always have been of the leave count. Whether it's due to lag, ragequits, real life or anything else it gives a good idea to players the likelihood you'll leave their match.

Furthermore it stigmatizes leaving and reduces the amount of times a player would intentionally leave matches for fear of being labled s rage quitter.

At the end of the day it's a meaningless number, but I know for certain it's one of several things that have reduced rage quits, and the fact that we're even having this conversation proves that many peoplr (including myself) care about said meaningless number and are therefore less inclined to leave a match unless they have to.
