Guild Wars 2

what if when 4v5 one player would be placed in starting area, couldnt leave before similarly other team gets s’one too? he would be earning points as the rest of the team (eg average) but cant fight. certainly with all aware that this is not afk. if s’one joins the other side, both can join the fight.

would this fix 4v5? for it is one of the top concerns now.

Wait, so a random player gets benched in the starting area and can’t leave? What are they supposed to do, get bored and go AFK (worsening the problem)? No offense but that’s…dumb.

It’s far better if the everyone is simply returned to the front of the queue (high priority) if someone is AFK or disconnected shortly before the round starts.

World Of Warcraft did this back in 2009 with their 5-man dungeon finder system and it’s still working fine today. Ready check happens shortly before it begins, if everyone isn’t ready then all players are returned to the front of the queue.

A proper 5v5 is worth waiting the extra few seconds in queue for.

of course 1 better get bored for a minute instead of 4 ppl quitting the game for good. and btw, can leave and join other game, if really impatient.

Would be tricky, you could purposely create 4v5 by closing ur game and waiting for someone on the opposite team to be kicked out.

There are people THAT desperate to win

agree with A K, what if your teammate is getting a clutch lord kill, buff or decap and suddenly poof – in 4v5 jail because someone on the other team DC’d on purpose. bad mechanic.

this has already been suggested a loooooooooooooong time ago.

This is falling on deaf ears ppl

The problem isn’t that you get 4v5s with players LEAVING matches. 4v5s happen one one player siimply goes afk (i had a match yesterday where our engineer sat in the starting area for the entire match w/o moving, and never got kicked)

google oprah: one can always engeneer fouls, but overall this would address significant issue with imo little risk and cost. against a small likelihood that some critical process is interrupted, one gets a way fairer game. mind, even if one provokes re-balancing, what’s left is still an even match. and chances that you will kick out that single opponent is 1 out of 5. also, there could be 10-15sec grace period, wchich woyld allow completing most of tasks underway.

Solution:

First time a player leave a ranked match nothing happen (can be a crash).
Second time same player leave a ranked match (in one week) he get a 1 month ban for ranked matches.
