Hallo Everyone
First of all, i would like to give praise for the actions, there has been taken in ranked games, with hiding Elo and name. Waaay less drop outs before game start. Really nice!
Now we just need to keep going in this direction, to create a healthy community.
Cause tons of players are every day getting disappointing in team mates, that tilt or tunnel vision, and makes a instant leave from the lobby. This can be avoid, by making a voting for the rest of the team, to say - should we give up? Instead of a surrender button for one individual. It should be a vote from the team, and not a individual action.
And i think you should get marked, for every time you leave a team ranked game, without having the majority of the team saying - yes, we have lost. Honestly, it means more to me, that i have more proper big scale team games, than my actually ranking.
Lets all of instant leavers play together, so the soul of the community that wanna see a big fat defeat in their face, before they leave, can get that. And fight to the bitter end, for maybe swing the fight into their own favor.
The option of declaring a reason to instant leave, would also be nice. For other players to see, if this system actually means something to them.
Each season you can half the amount of markings the person has, so they can try to redeem themself, in order to play with other people. that less frequently just instant leave.
I rather play with a guy with waaay lesser elo than me, if i know they stay to the end. Then a high elo guy, that leaves, when it gets tough.
I think such a system would help educate the community, and keep it worth staying for AOE4.
Please bring any related idea’s /upside/downsides to the table.
Peace out, Wiegell.
