In OWL they can pause the game…
Why can’t we have a vote pause in our games?
Or even a vote-forfeit
(need at least 5/6 players in a team to do either)

Votekick would also be appreciated.
Too CSGO like, so that won’t happen.

They should add a one- minute pause when someone disconnects. Only once per player because I assume someone will find a way to abuse that. But it seems really unfair the other 5 teammates get punished when one guys internet acts up. Sure you can still win when they come back but by then a lot of damage can be done.

Listen here, Karen. I’m not pausing so your kid can take out the trash or come pick something up that’s 3 feet away from you.

Nah, there are too many players in a game for me to support a pause feature. If this was a one versus one, like a fighting game, that is something a bit more agreeable.

Q: why do they do things in OWL that we can’t do in ranked?
A: Because blizzard doesn’t care about you, that’s why~

Too much potential for abuse, along with any forfeit/vote-kick options.
Sigh
Should we tell 'em?
He obv doesnt understand a thing.
Um? I understand OWL players get paid and we don’t, but…
Some people make a living off of playing OW and can’t pause the game.
Some people who are not streamers are Top 500 and can’t pause the game.
And we have the exact same, if not increased odds of technical difficulties in game, since we’re not sponsored.
So, no, I guess I don’t get it.
It’s seriously not about who’s being paid or not…
If you dont get it now you never will.
I was surprised they didn’t add a pause feature. It was a nice addition when I played dota. Sure it made people upset when the game was paused, but a minute of being upset is better than 30 minutes of a ruined game. The way it worked in dota was that everyone could pause, and anyone could unpause. It was a courtesy driven system.
I’m not sure how well that would work in overwatch, it would favor some heroes more than others to be able to just randomly pause before you jump someone. Though an automatic pause on disconnect would be nice. I would rather wait 2 minutes for a player’s internet to come back, than wait 3 minutes to close out a 5v6, and ~5 minutes to find a new game.
I’m sure being forced to wait for a pause would encourage people to report leavers more, too. Even ones on the enemy team.
Hmm, Pauses might be an issue because if they were stacked or agreed on it prior they might use that time to plan a counterattack or just to stall the game or when DC didn’t occur as someone purposefully pulled out their internet or something. If it was a genuine DC then I wouldn’t mind waiting a bit.
I guess if it worked like how it does now where ult charge is reset and they are reset to spawn then sure, add pauses as it would prevent some abuse but then what if they wanted to go back to spawn to swap so now it’s just a means to quick swap to some other character. There might be other ways to abuse it as well. Not trying to say this is 100% a bad idea but it has its pitfalls.

That could work. If enough people agree to pause on both sides then the pause occurs, thus preventing possible one sided abuse from one team.
Because we don’t make as much money as OWL I guess
