Guild Wars 2

My question is simple. I know that prior to the match “the system” gives each team a win % ratio and based on that a “goal” you must hit to receive points for LB’s. IF someone leaves the team, looses internet connection, or whatever reason; and leaves a team 4v5, will the system adjust their % chance of winning? Example below.

Team 1 (5 players) 80%-100% chance to win (Must win for points).
Team 2 (5 players) 0-19% chance of win (Must score 200 points for +pts)

5 seconds into round a player on Team 1 leaves the match (4v5). Are both teams “goals” to get positive points adjusted? The % chance of win should be flip flopped at this point and requirements adjusted? I know you punish the deserter, but technically looks like the whole team just gets punished too.

I know someone could leave in the last minute or so (and then nothing should be adjusted). Couldn’t there be something in place, at say the 2 minute mark for the system to look at the teams and if it is a 4v5, readjust the ratios and %’s? After the 2 minute mark (or whatever is set) nothing will be adjusted?

Maybe there already is something like this that I am not aware of, but if it could be clarified or worked on? I think there should be an adjustment in place to try to not force the “was going to win” team into an automatic -3 point loss, because of 1 deserter.

Thanks

I’ll be interested to hear the reply.

But I doubt the scoring parameters change once the game has begun.

Interestingly, a leaver and an “virtual AFK” who is running around not participating… are the same thing.

I doubt it too. My hope is to raise awareness of implementing something that doesn’t force a team into an automatic -3 pts because of 1 player (for whatever reason he left). Even if it just re-checks at 30 seconds into match (most leave right away) would help.
