Everybody who plays the game competitively has a good PC so I don’t see why we should all be punished for the low quality of a minority of players’ PCs. Lose ELO for crashes and Alt + F4 and this problem would effectively disappear.
well yea but i think thats why the ranked benchmark exist eventho it might need a bit if adjustment
also people alt f4 for many reasons but the most seem selfish stemming from an idea that there are only 1 true map or some maps are unplayable or even teammates and yes improving the ranked benchmark could atleast fix on of these problems

Well yes, but nobody really cares about Team ELO.
1v1 is the real competition.
i think people care about team and 1v1
Team games are fun. 1v1 separates the men from the boys.
1v1 are important but so are teamgames just thinking its 1v1 its plainly wrong as in procentice it might be more but both got important value
Go and check the number of games played between tg and vs and see whats what, don’t make assumptions based on ur beliefs, this game has more active players for team games, that is actually the largest active player base on all platforms.
The fact that this issue has been a thing for more than a year shows how little the devs actually care for their community, i felt so bad how cysion said guys were asking for poles, literally like 40 guys around this forums and reddit, while look at this topic being ignored despite hundreds of complains and new topics about the same every 3 days.
We are getting a partial fix, cause it will fail in matter of days/weeks, i think ranked lobbies will be a thing within one year, meanwhile i don’t know how many players will remain active.
The devs aren’t stupid, they looking at the numbers. If enough people stopped playing due to Alt + F4 they would notice. But this game is more popular than ever
Continuing the discussion from The Alt+F4 Multiplayer Problem:
What r u talking about
this game have losen users nearly 40%
after release and 1 year
users had increased 50% 20k → 3.3k.
but bad policy of MM and many bug
Recent 1 year
Peak of days
33k → 20
I’d be careful in associating popularity of the game with the matchmaking/ranked system. I think there are lots of external factors—marketing budget, remastered graphics, larger tournaments and streams, changes in player numbers during Covid, etc—that contribute to the game’s being “more popular than ever”. What we don’t know is whether a different matchmaking system would have an impact on changing the number of active players.
Personally I would look at the lobbies and see that there are game modes, such as 4v4 BF, that are still played by a significant portion of the playerbase. Would player numbers go up if it were easier to play 4v4 BF through a matchmaking system instead of an unranked lobby? I think that’s a pretty important question. 4v4 BF is (and has always been) one of the most popular game modes for newer players. And I’d suggest that making it easier to play would be a great step towards both making it easier for people to start playing multiplayer and making it more likely for them to stick around and continue playing more than just a handful of games.

What about an UNranked quick match solution? 
I doubt any type of “unranked” solution will be suitable for people who want to play ranked games. An unranked queue, while it can be useful, serves a different purpose for a different audience.
Last night we queued RM for about an hour and got alt-f4’ed 8-10 times without a game.
Finally, we gave up and ended up queuing for Empire Wars instead.
Please fix the problem.

they will it just takes some time
How about making it a mandatory requirement to play a minimum number of 1v1 ranked games before you can UNlock TEAM ranked games. Also, make PERMANENT map bans “actually permanent”, therefore A LOT of players who use ALT + F4 to AVOID PLAYING a specific map, will NOT have a reason to use ALT + F4.
Also, enabling an option that ALWAYS PREVENTS you from being matched with someone who does NOT speak your language, and also enabling an option that ALWAYS PREVENTS you from being matched with someone who you had previously blocked/reported/muted from a previous game.
Also, enabling an option, that ALWAYS PREVENTS you from being matched with someone who has above or below a certain number of win or losses (NOT the same concept as a “winrate”).
There. Problem solved.
devs just will make another announcement about how worried and interested are they on fixing this issue.
to add, if someone wants to smurf it’s not hard to tank your elo, just quit when the game has started. There’s no need to wait for devs to introduce a reduced elo for alt f4
Why I have to play a map that I dont want to play?
