Gatekeepers Of Desolation [GoD]
Inb4 This is not a whiny QQ threat about current meta or such, I’m totally fine with all that (maybe some slight changes to that incredible pet res, whatever)
I was on this awesome winning streak of 14 wins in soloQ, catapulting me up right into ruby. Everything was fine, I had awesome, fair and intense matches. But then suddenly in game 15 one glorious dude decides to capture the close point and AFK the rest of the game after he got killed by another player. I though alright, I heard about arena net wont count that as a loss right, so let that guy do his stupid business (dancing at spawn(would love to show screenshot, but I was busy trying to win a 4v5)).
However at the end I lost a pip and my winstreak was over and the saddest thing is not even the pip loss or the end of my win streak (which is still a shame that only a 4v5 can stop me, right guys, jk), its the fact that these people can still walk around without having any real way of punishment. I mean that is serious match manipulation and is really frustrating. I know this is not something new, many people have expressed rage about this before, but I just wanted to add a little personal expression aswell.
I dont know what to do about that, I’d just be happy to see that issue addressed, like make a report option called “leeching” like in gw1, that option would be more fitting than just reporting afk’ers for botting or such.
Sincerely,
your friendly and supportive soloQ’er
I had a match where this guy just auto-attacked into a wall for the whole match.
Always will happen, its just human nature and anet can’t really do much, any intrusive system that looks for tells to penalize is going to kitten some inoccent guy who just liked to dance on his point etc. Its not actually a problem because assuming you are not like that you still have the upper hand statistically after some games.
One solution would be to make a recording system tha lets easily save matches as lightweight data so they store everything (and give us replays etc) and having a team of GMs that manually looks the matches after a critical number of reports is made. Not worth it imho…
