Sancho posted:I've left several quickplay matches on xbox one without penalty. Not sure what triggers it. I'm not sure of the exact number, but you basically have an allowance of games that depletes as you leave them and refills over time. If you deplete your allowance, you get a 50% EXP penalty for a period of time.

Yeah with queue times being as long as 15 seconds someone leaving the match warrants a ban imo.

Thor-Stryker posted:Shields really should have a universal damage gate property. As long as you have some amount of shields, any damaging attack that would destroy the shield won't transfer over to health. Widow can pop off another shot with basically no delay though, so being able to survive one shot from her isn't much help if you're a slow target with no mobility like Symmetra and Zen are. Also, it'd make Zarya ridiculous, since she can already eat one big burst with her shield ability. NTRabbit posted:If my steaming shitpile of a team is forcing me to play support when I don't want to because no one else will, and even then refuse to change away from two tracers and two snipers that are getting curb stomped rapidly, then I'm quitting the battle regardless of penalty. If your team is poo poo then just don't play support. It's not like Tracers and snipers derive any meaningful benefit from having a Mercy stapled to their dumb asses, so why bother? Go out and kill some mans, have some fun.

Don't be the bad medic in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqBbaa0pisc She could have literally killed me with a single shot but decided to keep on healing the Reinhardt behind his shield. Reinhardt isn't a priority healing target, he's got a huge loving shield. Don't heal Roadhog either unless he really needs it.

If you don't want to actually play support, then just play S76. He gives decent enough healing to keep people from having to fight over health packs too much.

I join a game and start thoughtfully musing about who to play this time. I click someone, think about it, check the team build (weird, everyone has a pick already, usually at least 2 hold out until the timer runs out). So I switch to another char, then decide to wait a bit before committing as I see people change again... then I notice the kill spam in the top right and realize it dumped me into an in progress game again. So I hit go and walk out the door just in time to see the enemy finish delivering the payload. DEFEAT and a tiny chunk of xp. Good times.

That achieves nothing, because one out in a class I'm bad at, because my team is constantly dead - and without a support - will leave me equally dead anyway. Wasting time I could be spending finding a team that at least gets composition. I don't care if my team loses because we're not very good, but I do care if my team loses because it refuses to change heroes to make a useful team comp (outside of comedy setups), and I'm not going to stick around to fuel their all-widowmaker all the time gameplay.

Also, it'd make Zarya ridiculous, since she can already eat one big burst with her shield ability. -Zarya isn't exactly topping the charts as DPS or Tank, a small boost to her survival could put her in the competitive rank, the majority of classes wouldn't notice it against her since it primarily affects 'high damage with slow followup' classes. As for Zen, requiring a follow-up shot to kill him would make all the difference in the world. He's designed for corner sniping as far away as possible, so the ideal is he would be already back in cover by the time Widow attempts the followup. Shield-Gating would have almost zero-effect on a lot of the classes since they are usually rapid/medium fire weapons anyways. It would just give a slight boost to some weaker classes and give Symetra a better role as support. Thor-Stryker fucked around with this message at 21:50 on May 25, 2016 |

Sometimes its really hard for me to figure out who to switch to. I realize that whatever we're doing isn't working but I can't always figure out who would be the best hero to counter the problems we're facing. That and a lot of times my team tends to not want to change things up, I'm all for switching heroes but my teammates... yeesh. LOOKING AT YOU TEN!

It takes seconds to set up stuff on the defensive side, there isn't a TF2 engineer trying to put up a level 3 sentry and sprinting around the map for the entire minute. A minute thirty to pick characters is way too long

I have the exact problem -- paralysis at the hero screen when the team really needs to switch things up, but this is only when I'm grouped with several other people. If solo queue, and the team's having trouble, I many times find it best just to stick with the same hero and hope things work out for the best.

That is not good as it means you get thrown further into the pit of COD players who don't do objectives. Probably the reason why someone left that team in the first place.

I want some way to avoid certain maps. Like...actually I want to avoid that the Hanamura type objective maps, whatever that mode is called entirely. Payload and KotH I like, that? Not so much the point capture maps. Hanamura has an annoying as hell chokepoint right at the start and while payloads end up with the objective right near the enemy spawn you have a mobile chunk of cover, healing source and the range the enemy can block capture in is smaller.

GlitchThief posted:I think the punishment should be more severe. As a guy who hardly plays multiplayer as much as they used to due to legitimate interruptions, games with draconian leaver policies sadden me and basically kill my desire to play because Murphy law means the greater odds it will be poorly timed, the greater odds you will be interrupted right then and there. Even when I do get frustrated at 3/4 of a team abandoning ship for the third time in a match in viddy games. Even playing Darksouls or other "Playing alone but can't pause" gets me with Murphy's law there. "Okay, I either nail this pluging attack or redo the front half of Archdragon peak minutes to work through." *Leaps off cliff right as reality immediately demands my attention* "Wow what were the odds of that happening at that exact second, rather than any countless moments I could have calmly let the game sit? Basically 99%"
