Man reading and keeping up with this thread is literally an eye sore. MarineCpl you literally have zero arguments and point to back up your position. I literally feel like you are so against this button because you wanna just f*** with your losing opponents and just make them watch you destroy them, like you get off or something watching your opponents lose. I am pro-resign button, there is literally no good argument against it that you have made. All you do is just sit around and criticize people's ability to read, and restate the same point over and over again. Your argument is all over the place, it goes from 'losing gives you the ability to learn' to 'people are gonna exploit the game' then you just end your post with some 'pitiful' or 'pathetic' remark.
First, I am going to address you comments regarding other games and their ability to resign. ALL games have the ability to resign, and they are made like that for a reason. If youre getting crushed in Starcraft, you literally can type "gg" and quit the game making you take the lost up front instead of wasting everyone's time. After your army gets demolished you literally think you can rebuild your army, and then out micro your enemy in 30 seconds when they are knocking at your front door? Its not that simple to just simply state all you have to do is out micro you enemy and win the game, if your opponent wiped your army out and you have to rebuild everything thats pretty much game over. The professionals know this, that is why on huge international competitive stages these players dont sit around and play a full game and wait till every building of theirs is destroyed before calling it quits. Its usually decided on the out come of huge decisive battles, 70% of the time when they lose their main army, compared to minimal loses to their opponent, they quit the game. It saves everyone's time and they can move on to the next match, you think audiences are sitting there like "oh, but he could of rebuilt...", the players know its over and the audience knows its over that is why the resign button is important. If youre losing 15:0 in CS:Go you are not coming back from that, you arnt miraculously going to win 15 rounds in a row, that just essentially means you and your team were out matched. That is why Valve put the option to vote to resign, it saves peoples time to move on and play/do other things.
Next, when a player is getting absolutely sh@t on by his opponent he is not really learning anything. Especially in a game that takes 3 minutes to play. If his base is surrounded by the enemy he is not going to learn anything by creating a unit and having it instantly destroyed. He might as well leave the game cause there is no going back. The only way he can learn is to go back and watch the replay and compare strategies. He might as well go do that instead of waiting for the next missile to launch. You cant just dismiss this point made by saying "well he should learn to micro/play better..." obviously... we dont need you to state that fact, obviously he wasnt as f***ing good as his opponent or else he would of won the match? the only way hell actually learn from these matches are to rewatch replays. Sitting around for the next 40 seconds is gonna help him play any better cause at the point theres no way hes gonna make a come back. Hes not even going to remember how the game got to such a point until he rewatches the game.
Next, you say people are going to exploit the game, but your only two arguments for this is that people will quit matches to speed up the unlock of their cloning lab. Okay... then dont have resigns count towards the cloning lab... and next, people are going to drop medals to stay in lower leagues to play easy matches.... so? who actually * cares man.
First of all, you cant drop out of your league, you cant go from masters to gold, you can just go from masters 1 to masters 3. How much of a skill gap do you actually think there is between masters 1 and masters 3 players? youre saying essentially a player wanting to do this will have to sit around for multiple season resets and not play to rank down to the preferred league. You think someone is going to sit around for 2 months and not play just to rank down? A real SMURF would just make a new account and go play against bronze players... and what are you going to do? stop them from making new accounts?
Second, leagues are level capped, you think a tiberium's players' level 13 is going to mean anything in a level 9 capped gold league? Congratulations you have level 9 units against level 7/8 units. Its not really that uncommon to beat players that have higher units than you.
Third, WHO THE HELL CARES if a few players wants to noob stomp. Im sorry to the one actually newbie that faces a greater skilled player. Its one game... the guy loses 20 medals, get over it. Wait 3 minutes and search again to avoid meeting the same player. Youll probably never seem him again. You act like 80% of players just waiting for a reset button to go stomp on noobs. In actuality its probably like 2% of players that want to go ONLY play noobs. Just cause this resign button is introduced its not suddenly going to build a skill wall of tib players in gold leagues trying to keep noobs down in gold/silver and stop them from advancing, im sorry but alot of players on here have more important things to do. Trust me, even these players will get bored of just playing against noobs, and its alot easier like I stated to just go make a new account. Thats what real SMURFS in CS:GO do, they have a main account to play against people their skill, and a SMURF account to noob stomp when they want, and there is no way you or EA can stop that from happening. Ive advanced to TIB and I did just fine, if someone currently wanted that badly to play against newbies, they wouldnt mind disconnect the game, its not that much of a obstacle keeping these players from want to play only newbies. Seriously, poor guy who loses to a smurf... do you ever think about how he feels? so selfish... man get the f*** over it. If you quit the game cause you lost once to a SMURF, IDGAF, the world doesnt stop of soft a** players like that. Real life will chew their a** up and spit them out.
To me a win is a win, every season I just try to get to Tib league again, Im not sitting there feeling dissatisfied with the game cause someone disconnects with it. What ever the f*** gets me those medals i dont care, regardless if i have to fight tooth and nail for a win, or the guy just left after 2 minutes. And its not like the majority of people just disconnect from the game cause their strategy didnt work, it may blow your mind, but most people actually WANT to win and advance to the next league. because they get crates as rewards to level up their units. If youre purposely trying to stay in a lower league, well whos actually the loser in that situation? The SMURF that is not getting league rewards and doesnt actually develop better skills casue they arnt being challenged? or the player to plays one game against a SMURF, loses and watches the replay and adapts to the SMURF's play style?
The ONLY reason that I wouldnt want a resign button is the off chance that my opponent disconnects and I get to drag on the game and spam build bounty units. But that in itself is ALSO an exploit.
Having this resign button saves everyone's time, and allows them to move on to the next game. Reading this thread every day, i just sit there and shake my damn head cause your points are so poor, not one compelling argument was made on your behalf.
ALSO all those other people in this thread that says you shouldnt get full medals for an opponent hitting the resign button... STUPID. WHY THE HELL SHOULD I NOT GET ALL THE MEDALS FROM A RESIGNING OPPONENT? cause the guy is trash and resigned? well suck it, I dont care that you got scared and resigned or your skills are just mad trash that you resigned. Give me my DAMN medals, either you quit and save me from having to stomp you for 2 minutes. A win is a win no matter what happened in the game, and a loss is a loss. Full medals for me and full loss of medals for you.
The only way to do this is:
RESIGN DOES NOT COUNT TOWARDS CLONING CHAMBERS
FULL MEDAL EFFECTS FOR WINNER AND LOSER
BOUNTIES CAN COUNT OR NOT (I DONT CARE.... DOESNT AFFECT ME, IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE L JUST TO FULFILL YOUR BOUNTIES THAT IS YOUR CALL)
FUEL - AGAIN I DONT CARE, IT DOESNT AFFECT ME.
ALSO IF NOT CLEAR - A RESIGN IS A LOSS
Now everyone can stop arguing over such a small not even potential feature or even coming feature. SMH
