Does draft dodging stack

As the title says. If I draft dodge twice within the 10 game period will it give me the 50 points back.

I’m in ANZ and it ruined by getting matched with the same 2 or 3 people who are fighting and don’t play or line up a tank then choose last pick Nova

Yes, it stacks. On top of that - your leaver status increases by one game after each draft dodge.
First DD will be without LS, but th second one will give you one LS game, third - 2 game and so on…

its better than losing rank or having to wait for them to get a game and increasing time to the already 10 minute queues because of the same idiots…

Yeah you loose 500 rank points but you get 50 back each match over the next 10 matches.
That’s what I am wondering if it stacks IE you get 50 back each match over the next 20 matches, 100 back each match over the next 10 or do you only get 50 back each match over 10 matches but it just resets (IE no stacking).

I glitched out in draft yesterday and lost 500, no leaver penalty & right after next game I got “50 penalty redemption”.

So if you’re not a real dc’er, there isn’t even a penalty for a single leave. You recoup the points in full after 10 games.

I don’t care what server you’re on, don’t dodge draft, don’t complain.

Literally in draft saying their going to throw the match. Get into the match and they stay in base then not do anything except come out to not get afk status.

You avoiding queuing with them by watching them in the ANZ group chat and waiting until they are in a game. (10 minute on average)
Then after a while you are hopefully out of sync. You might be lucky and get 1 or 2 matches without them.

Then boom you get into a match with them and they say they are not going to throw. Pick tank and wait till last pick then change to NOVA (which they have never played before).

This will rinse and repeat depending on how they are feeling.

This person (and a couple of others) are a serial pest in our region. I don’t care if someone is bad but when u deliberately throw games then I don’t want to waste my time.

The numbers are that small we are lucky to have 70 people online at a time. We all see them online and report multiple times a day but it gets no where.

Oh that’s cool, must have missed them adding that.

No. you get 50% credit in 50 point increments over 6 games. If you dodge during game 3 of the the 6 game period you forfiet any 50% grace.

Ranked Points are now directly mapped to a player’s Storm League MMR.

  • Rank is no longer considered by the matchmaker.
  • Leaving a Ranked Match Lobby or Game results in a 500 Rank Point penalty which can be slowly regained in future matches.

6 games = 60%*

I swear the first time I did it, I got it back for 10 matches. I do think the 2nd time though was only 6 (thought it was a little short but didn’t count) but I had already selected a hero at that point. Next time it happens I’ll count the games

This information is what I would like to find out.

Its 600 points, and 6 games isn’t 60%. you get 300 of the 600 points back over 6 games thats 50 points per game.

How do I know this. in bronze 5 you get about +/- 25 pts game (this is what makes bronze 5 a living hell you need like 4 times the number of games to get to bronze 4) so when normally getting 25 points per game for a win I was getting 75 points per win and 0 per loss, this occurred for 6 games.

So I just tested it today. I lost 500 points and got 50 back per game over 10 game.

As I said before. I did a game where I went to dodge draft a few days ago. I left after I had already selected a hero. This time I only got 300 back at 50 per game over 6 games (Though I wasn’t counting).

My guess is that it counts as me leaving so it only gives me back 300 (500-200). You lose 200 for DC/leaving a ranked match anyway so this makes sense.

Maybe Bronze is different.

Yes this is how the system works and it’s fair if you have a disconnect that is beyond your control. Draft dodging just wastes the time of everyone. You said you’re from ANZ so the wait times will be longer than EU or NA, so you shouldn’t dodge at all. It just makes the queue times in low populations servers worse.

I sorry but I will have to disagree with you on this I’m afraid Minky. I really don’t like draft dodging but in this case I can’t help it. As I said on my last post when you keep getting the same people who will quite literally when we are the last 2 people pick another assassin when you need a tank and heals. Same person and they still have not been banned.
Quite frankly I’ve had more fun in the leavers queue doing brawls than playing a ranked match with them. I don’t care if people are bad, flame me for being bad, whatever but as long as you try that’s all I care about.
I got an email from Bliz today saying “your report has been noted and the person banned etc” I was excited and then boom they still on…
We currently already have 10+ minute queue times. Why waste anymore on a guaranteed loss of time/rank points.
It’s a real shame, I love this game (and I hate draft dodging) but 1 or 2 people are ruining it for me and everyone else in ANZ so I would prefer to leave. Ill probably take a break from this game after these 10 matches (I’ve said this a thousand times but I’m always back :stuck_out_tongue: )

I have no experience at draft dodging. But I sure hope that they do stack. With the penalties getting more and more severe after each time.
