Dear Blizzard entertainment,
Is there truly a reason why game shows as a loss if you disconnect at the last seconds of a match, connect back that you can see a message that a game has ended and the stats, but get no XP or anything for it.
PS, if you see Microsoft around, could you remind them that THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO START UP WINDOWS UPDATER AND DO ANYTHING ON THE BACKGROUND WHEN IM PLAYING A GAME!
Sincerely, Me.
Yes, because technically you still left in the middle of the match.
Despite how long left the match is.
Luckily for you and most HOTS players this happens very rarely.
So it is something has little to worry about.
If i left in the middle and returned after 2 seconds i would actually not lose the XP gain and get a loss for it, and yeah its probably my third out of 6000 games that i can remember
But im just trying to do my quests and not spend the whole day playing as im kinda bored of the game atm, kinda doomsday feeling on the ranked changes as we know how well the last change went and it was a smaller one.
Will see, its a deciding moment for sure.
You’re not going to like my answer but you could just do a few Quick AI games if you’re worried about disconnecting.
If you aren’t worried about DC’s then playing unranked will count towards all Universe/Role quests EX: Diablo/support or Overwatch/Assassin
I have no problem with that answer but i still think we have the technology to avoid these without it being an exploited issue, it still happens to alot of people in ranked and such and when we take into the account the nature of the reconnect system and the time it takes to do so, something should be done about it.
Ultimately microsoft and their fun way of background updating is at fault, not blizzard in this instance.
Still the system could be better.
Edit: i also usually play a couple of AI games every time i play to make sure theres no connection problems and whatnot to be on the safe side, we’ve had some problems of teamwide disconnects and lags in the past.
Once had the whole team vs AI lag the 10 last minutes of the game so that we almost lost to the AI as we struggled with 50% control only of our characters
Get a better connection. That would solve a lot of problem.
As for the update, set it to notify you but don’t automatically download the update.
Its not an option in windows 10 anymore in other than pro versions.
100mbps connection but windows downloads and installs dont have bandwidth or memory usage limiters.
