"Waiting for Player"

Has there been any discussion around players with bad connections forcing the game to stop for literally everyone else in the match, every single time their connection has a problem? This is one thing about Warcraft 3 that has always annoyed the crap out of me…

Even worse, I’ve seen players troll people by repeatedly pausing the game at critical moments, just so they can stop and start insulting the other player, then continue and do it again, and again…

Would love to see any type of pause functionally completely removed from the game. It’s 2018… there’s no reason for multiplayer games like this to have a pause function. Maybe, MAYBE in tournament play a pause function can stay in, but at the very least, my god… get rid of the “waiting for player” nonsense that forces everyone to wait.

If there’s one thing new players to Warcraft 3 are going to be completely turned off by, it’s going to be this.

Listen folks. A toaster connected to a phone jack does not qualify as usable device for any online game so stop using it; thank you! :smile:
