Players Backing Out
I’m so sick of the constant rage quit, people backing out the last second, all you will ever see in this game is people quitting out. It’s makes this game so annoying to play and overall EXTREMELY HA...
Forum Discussion
There are just SO many reasons why people do it and while sometimes it bugs me too, I've done it for good reasons..
Teammate gets kicked from game before it starts. You back out to join their group again.
Other team is full of humans, while your team has half that number.
If it's drop-in then the other team is CLEARLY a club and you're playing with all randoms and your goalie is a low level guy, likely playing for the first time.
You recognize a name on your team because you have a mental and physical list of the trolls in the game.
Other team decided it would be cool to use white sweaters at home and now you can't tell who is who because you didn't catch that fast enough.
Your ping is outrageous and lagging too bad to want to continue trying to play to hurt your team worse. This is especially the case if you're center, losing EVERY faceoff.. playing a team in Montreal on their servers haha!
If I got a 30 min ban for any of those I'd be pretty salty.. but then I do hate when people back out just because they're down a goal or 2 or they see the other team MIGHT beat them so they continue searching for a team they're more confident they can beat.
If you look at eliminator stats sometimes it's funny. A team will go 60-0 but they will have 30 rd1 wins 20 rd2 and 10 finals wins. Why? Well because they were about to play a team that MIGHT beat them so they'd sooner quit before puck drop and start up a new tournament to play a team they are more sure they can beat. If it's off by 1 or 2 then likely someone failed to advance so they forfeited tourney or they had to do something, or someone got on.. but if it's wildly skewed, then you know they are picking who they play just to boost their w/l record.
This whole post kinda proves the point there’s a culture of quitting in this game. If players have these extensive lists of reasons to quit and will only play if every single condition is met, the constant quitting will continue. The biggest one for me is quitting in the pregame lobby. It slows down matchmaking time so much. That’s why I recommend removing it. If you want to bail during a game and give me your RP, it’s not as bad. I still think a 30min quit penalty with an end of the first surrender vote would be a good way to go. If you can’t play one period of a game that doesn’t meet all your personal criteria maybe offline is a better fit for you.
If that seems "extensive" idk what to tell you..
Which of these "conditions" seem like too much?
Someone "should play offline" because they want to play with their friend? On... line...?
Someone should play offline because they don't want to play with a bunch of computers? Make this make sense please.
Someone should play offline because they don't want to play with a troll and sit through a 30 min game where they have 0 chance to win? Did you consider any of this before you posted?
Perhaps, consider reading the "extensive" list. It's not too long, i promise. Most are reasons many quit. You start throwing out 30 min bans and this goes from a very small player base to almost non existent. I have an issue with people quiting and unlike you, I don't want/ need the free cr. Offline has a rookie difficulty if you're needing easy wins. I just want a good game. I'm personally not looking to settle for a bad lobby with a troll, bad connection, not being able to play with a friend because the game messed up and he didnt get in. What do you tell your friend "sorry, wait 30-40 min and we will try again when this game is over" I'd be getting off for the rest of the week if that happened 🤣 I'll gladly wait a few more min to find a game my friends and I can all get into. We all have jobs, nobody (with a job) is sitting around for 30-40 min because they got booted from a lobby to appease you because waiting an extra 2 minutes is too much for you to put up with. Don't like it? Maybe offline is better for you..
Also.. just to be clear.. you would rather load directly into a game and NOT the lobby (to save on time) so they can quit and you can get free CR.. to then load back to the WoC menu, and finally search again? To prevent "slowing down matchmaking time so much" seems easy wins are more important than saving time..
I feel like this just applies again lol

Reading comprehension has clearly failed you. I'm sorry bud. Your idea is bad.
