Yeah it aims for 50/50 but there will always be those games where you can see outcome after few minutes. Steamroller games happen
And how does that affect filling in leavers?
Just my opinion. I rather play 5v6 than have random filler who could change whole direction of match
Thank you very much FatBlueDragon for your thoughtful and long response i really appreciate your politeness and patience.
I just wanted to mention that we are in this discussion talking here and not somewhere else where a comment was made and all i tried to say, without offending you in anyway, that if you had an idea HERE please add it instead of shooting down what is already being said without an alternative. That’s all.
But yeah again you wrote beautifully and i enjoyed reading your reply. Have a wonderful day my friend <3 even if we disagree on this.
I am aware that you were asking for another idea to be posted on this thread, which is why I made an emphasis on the idea of fair-throwing because it is actually my idea.
Posting other threads where backfilling was mentioned might be a misstep but, just to clarify, I don’t want to derail this thread by copying the idea of another thread because the focus should be on that idea.
Also, keep in mind that the issue on this thread is whether this idea is a good or bad one. As long you point out at least one pro, con, or alternative, you move the discussion forward. Giving an alternative to the issue is not necessary but optional.
Personally, I’d only present an alternative if there were no problems found yet but that is simply not the case. Obvious ideas like a compensation or bot-replacements, even clever ones like player freezing, all have flaws and presenting those only result in the same comment about the pros and cons.
If you’re interested, here are the threads with other Ideas:
💡 Leaver? Then Freeze a Player ?
Leaver? Then Place a Bot - #7 by Coffee-22589
Remove heavy SR loss for games with leavers
Though this will mean they have to wait any ways for the wifi to comeback and would be disconnected from the game itself
I would still rage quit in some situations. Suffering more severe penalties would just mean I would abandon this game sooner than later. vOv
