Thats alot of deserters in the middle of the desert there.
I’m sure some of those greyed out players just disconnected because your team ran out of tickets and they didn’t want to watch til the end.
6 of them were gone in first minutes of game.
Few had any score indicaiting they were playing more than 5min.
thats what i do when i see a stacked enemy team
allies Tunisia, when they realise they actually fight real player
Matchmaking won’t change a thing about desertion. The game mode itself is flawed in that it’s easy to predict the outcome during the first 5 mins.
Again: opponents weapons and lvl are not what make ppl desert.
That’s true, but Oasis is unplayable as attackers.
At least option to ban few maps would help.
River of swamps, instant quit.
Oasis as attacker, instant quit from now on.
There’s that too: we can’t choose maps or modes or if we defend or attack. Many getting the attacker side in oasis will just say “nope, not today” those are probably the same guys who auto deserted all conquest maps before the devs removed most of them from rotation.
There are a variety of reasons for choosing desertion.
Last night, dinner was ready, you think I’m going to miss Shrimp & Pasta in a Scampi sauce for this game, think again.
I just backed my tank weak ass Stuart into a gun pit, trying to escape a much more powerful tank, no way to get out, that is like being in a match, where your side is annihilated, the enemy has good bombers, has good tankers, has very experienced players with great weapons. Your side has noobs, no one building rally points, most with just basic weapons, and you are literally over-run in seconds and squad wiped out in seconds over and over. It never bothered me until this week when I got into 3 games in a row like that, out of frustration I quit/deserted.
Maybe the penalty for desertion should be losing whatever you gained on the previous game for points/perks/rewards. However, if your team is noobs, and other team is ringers, that isn’t your fault, but who can evaluate that, or what app? Therefore leave it as it is…?
OR maybe allow for choices like: Do not place into a battle already started, Remove the unpopular maps (Oasis attack), Wait until a game has MAJORITY real players vs quicker battles with games full of bots, Allow me to block certain maps per theater, block certain modes (Destruction!). Seems to me that would reduce the desire to want to desert in the first place!
Of course there are more important things than this game, so anyone can leave when then want to. Punishing desertion would be stupid, so go enjoy Your pasta.
Problem is those 11 dudes that left didn’t all have dinner ready, or dog to walk that moment. Maybe 2-3 of them really couldn’t play.
Most of them left because we got stomped. Like You said no one likes to play against 10 skilled players with team of bots. Matchmaking could help fix that, but they said they won’t do it any time soon.
But there are many issues that can be solved without implementing matchmaking that would still help. Many mentioned by @36093681 above, joining random maps and modes just sucks.
One more problem is some battlepass tasks can’t be completed on some maps, so i quit 5 matches in a row untill i get conquest so i can finally do silly “capture 1 point” tasks, that sould be replaced months ago.
