Just all out stop players from leaving solo shuffle. If they have to go their character can just be afk in the arena and if they try to leave they can get something that says “unable to leave this game mode” or something. It could even forwarn players when they queue. Such as, “attention; you will be unable to leave this gamemode once entered, do you wish to continue?”
Something like that…
I for one would rather play with 1 afk player than sit in a 40 minute queue for someone just to leave.
Other option is, if a player leaves in any round, give the other 5 players priority queue. And ban the leaver from playing solo shuffle for 24 hours.
Edit: they could even have harsher punishments for leaving. Like 1st time they leave its 24 hour ban from all rated PvP, second time 48 hour ban, 3rd time 1 week. And have a debuff of shame shown on them, like rotten tomatos. Have flys hover round their character and npcs boo them.
exactly happend right now, im also heal 1.7k and if i have the chance, i do my best and literally im the better heal, the other healer just leave the game, im sure with now 5 win i will got the rival but enemy ragequited, make it unable to leave or if someone leave 1x no penalty 2x 1 day deserter 3x 1 week deserter or if he countinue just bann from game for a short time
Yep, I just got my priest to 70 tonight. Bought full honor gear, got my instant queue, went 3-3. Queued again was 4-0, other healer leaves and I got nothing. 3rd game I was 5-0, other healer leaves and I got nothing. 4th game I think I went 1-5 and got 96. I dont know why they dont just give rating and rewards based on 4 or 5 rounds if someone leaves tbh…
this needs to be fixed asap…you bust your balls off, play 5 rounds…some guy leaves and boom noone gets manything for their effort?? crazy system…make it as this Cow said, leave their char in arena, let the shuffle finish, distribute points…ban him from arena for 2 days…boom problem solved…as it is now it pretty much sucks…2 leavers in 2 games in a row after 20 mins in q for each = goodbye solo shuffle maybe we meet again down the road when they fix you
i know they are somehow trying to fool proof the system from abuse and wintrading and keep things fair but playing 10 rounds and wasting an hour of my time and gaining NOTHING although busting my balls off and winning most IS NOT FAIR
Blizzard can you please just patch this problem ASAP? It is unplayable at the moment. As DPS you sit in queue for 40 min and when one of the healers have a bad game and they leave. Three queues in a row with 40 min to an hour queue time and every single game the healers that has a bad game left. 0 rating for 3 hours of playing, just unplayable. Patch so everyone in game atleast get the rating they earned and punish the leavers more cause apparently this is not enough.
Srsly. This needs a fix. Everytime I get good games in and I think my MMR will climb so I can finally reach 1,8k rating. Someone straight up leaves. 0 Points given. Thanks for 30 minute queue to have a leaver. And the games that go through (mostly 3:3 for me) I get 6 Rating (last 3 games were 6 3 1 points) cause I cant get my mmr higher casue of the leavers in my good games.
Exactly. It doenst take rocket science to realzie that people will just leave games and 5 other people will get punished for it. Just blitzzards way of doing everything they do half a**ed as usual. almost like they fired their whole QM staff a few years back. go figure . sorry for the language.
just here to bump this, nothing more frustrating than playing 5 rounds to get rating unchanged cus leavers this happens far too frequently to be worth the time investment.
I kinda can see why some would. I was doing some games on my mage and was getting focused by the usual melee zugzugs. And instead of you know, trying to peel for you or anything else they just started the usual “oh this mage is so bad etc etc”. I mean I took my 1/5 and everyone left with what they got but anyone with slightly less skin might just alt-f4 right out of there.
