MatchMaking - Empty Matches, Penalties, AFK's and Kicks

Post by novationx »

Hi there,

I would like to report that most matches ( lets say 65% ) on MatchMaking are not 3v3 and thus not balanced.

People always leave with several reasons :
- I have a pracc
- I don't like this map
- Not the same level / unbalanced
- They leave after they failed a round
- They leave at the end because they dont wanna tryhard to come back. (when losing)
- They leave the last round because they dont want to lose LP
- My friend came online and I want to ally

Other Reasons:
- In the first round some players havent spawned in-time because the match starts too fast.


These reasons arent even far-fetched and I can think of way way more.

--------------------------------------

Obviously not all players leave! Some are actually kind enough to stay, but then they are AFK. Nobody likes to have an AFK-player in his team because the attacker get's 1 extra armor. This again is unbalanced.

NADEO : But Novationx, can't you kick this AFK player? That would make it more balanced, no?

Well, in order to kick a player you actually need 5 votes and then ( I dont know why ) the vote-timer keeps on going to 0 before he actually gets kicked. So with some bad luck you already gave away 2 rounds. And obviously there are plenty of people that press F2 so they can win their match.
And if this isnt bad enough : A kicked player can come back and be AFK again!!

In other games only the team-mates (and not the enemies) can decide what happens to the team. In ShootMania it takes all players to vote. This again feels unfair.



Some examples of ---only--- today. I think I maybe played 10 matches today and I try to take screenshots when somebody leaves just to proof my point. Unfortunately I always forgot to take screenshots and I only took 4.

Possible Solutions :
- Increase Penalty-time with factor 5 or 10.
--> I dont think a penalty of 10minutes is long. ( Compared to other games it's actually quite short )
- Increase penalty-time by waaaaaay waaay more when they keep on leaving over and over again
- Kicked players shouldn't be allowed to come back.


Can this please ---oh please--- be looked into in 2015 because 65% of my matches aren't even fun anymore.
Thank you, NADEO.

Agreed to all of it. Only problem with making the penalty higher is, that sometimes people still get suspended for no reason so for them an increased penalty would be really bad. So if that´s going to be changed please look into those bugs too to make sure that no-one will rage over a 10minutes penalty although he didn´t do anything wrong^^

Good point ofc!
Fix this bug please where a player gets random suspensions, then introduce longer penalties! And Matchmaking will be soo more awesome.
