Online leavers : something needs to be addressed

What they need to do is simply to change it so that a disconnect not only results in a penalty in rank, it also results in an automatic loss. Then there'd be absolutely no incentive to disconnect.

Problem is, if it's like SCIV, you could get penalized for disconnects that you didn't initiate. It happened to me a lot.

They appear to have a system in place to not punish you for disconnects you did not yourself initiate. Disconnects that occur due to you simply lagging out (as opposed to severing the connecting forcefully) do not result in a penalty. Many a time, I've received the message "Lost connection to server" or something like that without incurring a penalty.

What they need to do is stop playing to the idea that online rank matters and scrap the mode entirely.
Imagine how good that would be for the online community.

What u talkin bout? Clearly A1 is pro status.

~On a serious note I agree wholeheartedly. No one can increase their skills in this game by going into a ranked match and play people who have done nothing but find ways to abuse noobs at a game. I say scrap it.
 
People complained because of the lack of "single-player content". Can you imagine the outrage when little Jimmy can't show off his XxXMaDsKiLLzXxX?
 
scV rank is like an achievement....
You know its useless in term of skill yet you desire the shining icon *O* also replacing cold levels with that A1 makes it even more desirable u.u

But in the end is not much different from the 87000 mt achievement.
Also your friend will mock you for the time wasted >_>

but its not a problem cause it's made of shiny gold *o*

Said that who cares about quitters >.> if they cares about winning% they are already losing.

For people leaving, player matches aren't much better, people will still decide they don't want to play half way through a match just because you are beating them ( and taunting a little ).

Oh I see the reference, waited for that.

Choosing PO, hammering 44b / 22_88b over numerous fights was tedious at best. Fair enough you beat me and the other guy in the room many times.

If it was simply due to losing, I would have left after 1st or 2nd loss not 10 fights later. But no, by this point you decided to distance youself and taunt constantly for about 15 seconds at which point I left. Not once did I insult or taunt during this time.

The simple point here is your fuck assed attitude towards the people you're playing with is why I left. I like messing about with alternate characters, that attitude doesn't mix with someone who just wants to win as they think that having a record like 8/3 in a player match looks bad.

A guy entered my room last night with the online record of 159-5. I expected him to either be incredibly great or rage quit. After I bodied him with Maxi of all people he rage quit before the last hit... in a fucking player match. Seriously? That's a whole new level of retarded.

The game keeps statistics for all of your online matches, including Player Matches. Some people want good win percentages because... uh... it's cool?
 
I will say that sometimes people ask to be disconnected on. I've seen shitty connections where the other player is blatantly trying to play SC4 online style added with taunts and etc... So if you're playing like a retard and acting like an ass in bad connections...I kind of have no sympathy when people drop on them. The fact that they care about the win and are aware they're doing it...kinda mutes their complaint. They wouldn't win offline...why should they get the win online? I think the issue is they call it 'ranked' and that obligates people to care about W/L. If a person is playing like an asshole and disregarding frames while he torrents porn, you're forced to tough it out or get shit for the drop. You don't see drops in 'player matches'. Call them 'quick matches' and lose the faux ranking ladder and i think people will stop caring about the W/L so much.

Not saying i support disconnects, just some people act like they got robbed of an actual win when they do this and it irks me.
 
I still say quits are more of a compliment than anything. I do get frustrated sometimes. Thinking the quitter is just a spoiled brat still suckling on his mommy's teet in between matches. They're entitled to win because mommy says they're special. I pretty much used this line against a quitter once. He said he was an Iraq Vet. All I could say was "Holy Shit" and move on.

I don't really see what you are trying to say, I am the first person to say I am far from high level at this game, you make it sound like if I don't lose a few times on purpose the I take the game to seriously and only care about my ratio... It's hardly my fault you can't even beat someone on my level ( especially when I am taking the time to taunt during matches ).

Your Tira has eaten my Hilde's shit on several occasions, beating 'someone on your level' is besides the point. Taunting doesn't put you at any disadvantage so taking time to taunt is irrelevant and just uncalled for.

I never said lose on purpose but if thats the position you think you put yourself in just by using a different character once despite winning your last 15 fights then whatever. Having the thought of having a w/l count in a player match that isn't flawless 'looking bad' just reinforces the fact you care about your stats.
