Guild Wars 2

A lot of people dislike AFKers in Ranked matches. But another issue is people who DC before or even during a match. Problems can range from poor computer to bad ISP. And this doesn’t just affect the person who DC’d. It hurts his entire team if he keeps reconnecting before the 2 minute timer.

My idea is to create ping restrictions. If your connection is really bad, your ping will reach over 300. When it starts to spike higher, that’s a good indicator that you’ll DC. So, to prevent unintentional losses for all 5 players on a team, Anet should prevent the DCing player from entering a match. I’m thinking a round number like 500 as a test run. If any player’s ping hits 500, they’re automatically prevented from joining a Ranked match. If a player’s ping hits 500 mid match, they get kicked out (no dishonor), and the teammates won’t lose any MMR if they lose.

you got good direction but this will create even less ppl playing pvp….

maybe just reduce the timer to 45 sec.
or if your team played 4v5 for 1 min the team wont lose mmr
or if your team played 4v5 and got below 100 points different the will get 1 pip win

etc…

You realize this wouldn’t work at all right? 9/10 pings fluctuate, before, during, after, at all time during matches or idle.

And on top of that, can be abused bu throttling…

This just wont work, at all

Ping does fluctuate, but it doesn’t spike to 500. Only the bad connections or playing on a potato will do that.

Easily manipulative.
