Very very elementary mistake you’ve made on your part blizzard. Hopefully this raises awareness to one of the fundamental mistakes you’ve made with this game.

INB4 Lower priority queue will slow down our already long wait times which is why removing WoL ladder was such a great idea KappaPride.
What difference does having players who are clearly manipulation the ladder have on your games? The game lasts 2 seconds anyway
Word salad, removing WoL ladder was a terrible idea and did not affect queue times. Timing out surrender bots also will not.
You clearly didnt watch the video, nevermind.
I mean, if you put players in a lower priority queue after leaving that could theoretically make your queue time slightly longer which was all the fallacious reasoning required to argue against maintaining matchmaking for WoL.
Sure, people who purposefully chose to play WoL didn’t want to play LotV and many quit as a result and such a misguided plot did not force them to reduce the queue time of LotV. Just like how these individuals didn’t actually want to participate in the LotV ladder and rather were simply boosting to GM 15 with such an exploit. However, even the slightest chance of being placed in such a ‘low priority queue’ due to some internet error is unacceptable to the ‘but muh ladder queue time’ crowd. These same slugs who probably never bothered to queue into the ladder to begin with.
Hastily doth humanity descend towards it’s lowest form, at the behest of which all are mere apes.
Again, why does it matter if the player is going to leave in the first 2 seconds of the match???
It matters to the guy on bad wifi who might D/C and get put into low priority queue but muh queue time lewl
The problem with SC is that it’s a solo game, if you leave a team game you can be punished because not everyone wants to leave the game in a team game, but SC you win by chackmate.
A detector of 5 secconds match won’t change much because they will wait 6 secconds before leaving, you can put a 30 secconds detector, but it’s not a solution.
Not denying this is a problem but the solution is not that simple.
Which is explained in the video, other games that are popular understand that concept, but apply the punishment either way.
I totally understand your argument as it pertains to the smurfing and stuff and dont get me wrong, I would 100% be all for a system that deters people from tanking mmr in order to smurf. But trust me smurfing isn’t that common. You may run into a smurf 1 out of like 20 games if that.
I think the solution for the whole top 15 wcs qualifying stuff is even more simple. Just a simple look through the match history by an admin would be sufficient enough to disqualify someone for doing this. As you pointed out in the video, its very obvious what this guy was doing by his match history.
Again I am 100% for the implementation of something like this. I agree with you it only makes sense to have and would help put some peoples minds at ease.
I would say I run into an account that has less than 100 games playing at a master+ level 1 out of every 5 - 10 games.

Give that guy a <'3 for the awesome video.
Don’t you mostly play team games? Could be wrong about that. But if its true, I have no idea what the team game life is like I will admit. But In 1v1 I almost never run into smurfs.
Yes mainly, but I also play in GM 1v1 with 5400 MMR and I can assure you that I run into many, many accounts that are less than 200 games, either leaving matches right at the start, or playing out the match at a similar skill level.
Grandmaster league is a pile of meaningless garbage for a number of reasons, you can just add this to the list.
Yeah I guess I could see it being more of an issue in GM with all the people whom have multiple accounts in gm and stuff. I don’t have any experience with that level of play. So I can only speak to where I’m at and what I’ve seen through my friends in lower leagues. In the lower leagues, smurfing doesn’t seem to be an issue.
100 uv. ddddddddddddddd
They should delete the ladder and have everyone play customs. Ladder causes everyone to turn into a big crybaby obsessed over their mmr and “balance”
Put back the BW style lobby system and you have a deal!
