@iBlockHead wrote:@warslagI still see no real issue. If you wish to leave because you are being bullied, you can always mute teammates and stick to pings the moment you hear something you don't like. I do it with annoying teammates.
If you don't wish to give them any points (which would include yourself) than a simple suicide would resolve all issues.
I understand wanting an option to leave without a penalty if you are the last one alive but consider this: You're top11. You and a teammate are having a good game with 2-3+ kills and die because of a 2v3 or 3rd party. Now the solo player is left alive and decided, "I don't wanna play anymore" and leaves. Robbing you and the other player from the Top10 RP you would have gained if he had stayed and at least tried to survive.
Penalties are due where needed aside from the rare banner pick up but never getting revived.
So why, in your opinion, do they have to suicide instead of just changing the system to allow the player to leave without penalty?
You obviously agree with me that players should leave a match if they feel threatened, so what's your issue with making a tweak to the system to allow players to leave without having to kill themselves?
Also, based on your example, it's less likely a player will leave for no reason when a team is doing really well, than if they were being verbally abused. The situation you described is kind of an irrational one in terms of a players leaving a match in those circumstances. Unless of course their teammates were going mental at him and he wished to get out of there. Which would be completely understandable and was the point I've been making, anyway.
@warslag The mute option is great. If your teammate banner is even visible. Half the time it isn't. I agree whole heartedly if you are the last one standing so to speak you should be able to leave.
As far as muting or not, I always have a chat party private on. And most times I am in that before I even launch a random game if I play with randoms. I honestly got sick of it months ago where the in-game lobby was garbage. The mics were bad, people eating a granola encrusted cheese * in my ear. The singing the screaming. You name it. So if you do feel like playing in an open lobby chat have a private one ready so you can bounce.
I am now in the habit if in a random game every time I am in my private chat talking when the other players mics go off. I have my own fun conversations that don't distract me from the actual fun of the game.
One last note on mics since this is off topic anyways. If you have a $400 gaming system $100 headset and $400-$100 TV/Monitor, spend 5 bucks on a 9 volt battery and fix your smoke detector.
That is all.
