This is what i noticed in matches lately. And its the desserter function that causes it, is my opinion. At first i thought the derserter function was a good idea. I hated players who left the matches. Butt now i see this in matches. And i certainly do not like this either.

Players do not leave the matches anymore instead they stick around without playing the match trough, and hide in some corner of the match. And this gives the counter team a benefit at that time because they have more players that play and they are already winning any how. I see sometimes even multiple players standing still. Because there team is playing the match badly. And it just not fair to the ones who keep playing no matter how the situation is in the match for them.

The ones who do not play at that time still get there loot, money, xp point ect. altough it is less, than what they normaly get when they win. Just because they wait out the match time.

Witch means that other players who could come in to the match. Have no change either of playing this match because the match is filt with the maximum amount of players. And even when the matches are not filt i see player standing still. Just because they don't like how the match is going.

So i think the concept of the desserter timer is a no no. It should be change in another solution. Or just get rid of it. Mabye a different penalty function should be tought about.

For example a yellow, orange, and red card, counting system. Like tree strikes and your out

for a certain amount of time. (just a idea of the top of my head)

 In steps NightHawk to cast his conspiracy theories about how such stationary players are actually there to help stat pad bla bla bla. 

I've honestly not seen people hiding to avoid the deserter, I've seen people go afk and start playing again in a few minutes. I know I've went afk many times in a game, toilet, beer, phone and started playing again after a few minutes.

However, perhaps people are setting up a... Perhaps I wont say, just incase it gives anyone idea's xD

Personally I hate the deserter feature, it was a solution to what? Nothing! Only NightHawk spoke of stat padding or people protecting their worthless numbers that are not even viewable. In a year and a half I've seen 2 people killing each other over and over. If people left a game before it ends and? Like I care, it never effected me. Those that left just before the game ended were alts or Div 2 toons and the player didn't want the exp, that doesn't effect anyone either. A new feature that annoys fair players just to deter a handful of sad no life kids -.-!

@Phukka

Don't believe in conspiracy's aspecialy when it is from NightHawk.

Ofcours i can not tell if they do it because of the desserter feature or if it is there game strategy, don't have any idea how you can measure it anyways.It feel like that to me so do not quote me on that. Butt i have seen players waiting out the rest of the match doing nothing butt standing. And i do not talking about a few minutes like afk. Butt sometimes even from the beginning of the match.

Most of the time when people leave for afk they let it know durring the match to there team mates or in battle chat. At leased the players with manners if there are any.  

Butt what i make out of your opinnion is that you want to get rid of the desserter function to or at leased it need to be changed in something better.

Butt i appreciate your comment

Thanks

jkto you can have a bit of that too.

AfK is one thing.  Multiple Account Abuse is another.  If you have any semblance of grey matter upstairs, it is not hard to figure out who is AFK and who is controling multiple avatars from a single location.

Something seems to have your panties in a bunch.  You @$$hat$ have a problem with someone reporting exploiters?
