The Alt+F4 Multiplayer Problem

[WoeIsToWho]

Never thought I’d get as much legwork out of a quote as I am now.

@SwaggyOP

It is. Compare both sentences:

@SwaggyOP

@WoodsierCorn696

[…] If you just want to play one map only, then you go to the lobby […]

I prefer a different solution: let’s make the ranked queue Arabia-only, and it’s people who want to play weird maps that go into the lobby.

Out of context, it sounds like a reasonable jab.

@WoodsierCorn696

If you just want to play one map only, then you go to the lobby and host your own games with your preferred settings. It make no sense to annoy people by quitting, because the quitter dont like the rules of ranked.

Within the settings, he’s only insinuating that you should host your own game if you’re planning on quitting if you get a setting you don’t like. He’s not only talking about the “one true map” brigade even though we both know he could since the arabia-only crowd is the ingroup in the Alt-F4 problem.

@SwaggyOP

That is an irrelevant thing to debate now.

@SwaggyOP

because you keep ignoring and disrespecting our arguments, the above message is no exception.

@SwaggyOP

If they are Arabia players, they shouldn’t get matched on non-Arabia maps at all.

Arabia players who join the matchmaking queue are matchmaking players. The system doesn’t care what map they prefer. If you want a system that cares for what players want to play when they connect, that’s what the lobby system is for. It exists.
