Hey all! As promised, I’m here to give a little insight on the leavers topic.

We can’t completely stop leavers, because ultimately it is up to the player to honor their teammates by showing up to the match (or not leaving).

But, since we updated the dishonored system in December, we have been monitoring the situation and have seen a large reduction in the number of occurrences. However, we are not where we need to be yet, so we are continuing to investigate other ways to handle this issue.

Thanks Lordrosicky.5813 for understanding.

Before you guys continue to react over this, please pay attention to the entire post.

This should mean something to you.

Just because it doesn’t come exactly when you want it, doesn’t mean we won’t do it, and it doesn’t mean we aren’t working on it!

While the addition of something to reduce this is definitely appreciated it unfortunately doesn’t make the 4v5 matches that still fairly regularly occur any less disheartening.

Yes, I completely agree. I have experienced 4v5 (which turns into 3v5 because there’s always someone who doesn’t want to stick around at that point) and it’s definitely not fun. I’ve also been on the other end, on a team with the power play, and it’s not fun then either.

The best kind of game is one where each team has a fair shot, and it boils down to the skill and coordination of the players. We want to get to that point, but as Lord pointed out, we can’t control players from turning their computers off. We’ll do what we can to get there, though.

Alright guys, if you’re just going to use this thread to attack the dev team, I’m closing it.

Thanks to those of you that posting suggestions and such.
