Yeah, people have been suggesting this for a long time. I was the most worried about low mmr shuffle where nobody would even be able to get placements in.
Mhm.

I still canât tell if this is troll or not. Keeps going back and forth.
Can we Q in peace yet?
Even if punishments did go out that doesnât nesscearily mean that anything has been done about future leavers.
True, but Iâll take the better odds of completing games for now at least
Why are people so pressed about Blizz potentially banning leavers who are exploiting an MMR bug?
Just making the pool of people smaller. Que times longer. Will still be abused until they adjust leaving to effect MMR. Not really clear how many people are abusing the MMR bug involved with leaving, but Iâd say itâs significant.
You ban all the people who leave from participating in RSS and then the posts complaining about two hour waits in ques will take over. Solve one problem by creating a much more significant one.
I for one would prefer if they just gave RSS the 5s treatment. I donât think there has ever been a bracket, or released form of content that has resulted in as much whining and outcry as RSS.
because thereâs a large amount of idiots that think exploiting is ok because itâs âblizzardâs fault for allowing it to happenâ

define âokâ better here if you want to meet any of those idiots halfway and achieve any breakthrough in their understanding
Because its just terrible for the game as a whole when there are much less drastic solutions.
i.e
- first 3 times leaver only gets warning, mmr/cr calculated per round,
- big cr/mmr hit + leaver debuff account wide (like 20min or so), mmr/cr calculated for everyone else per round
somethin like that is all thats needed
but when you give ppl the option to leave and take no losses to save their cr/mmr its worth it to leave.
all they have to do is make it not worth it to leave from a debuff/cr/mmr hit standpoint

People in this game will whine about anything and everything though itâs not subject to just RSS. I wouldnât care about longer Q times if it guaranteed completed games. I like the fact that I can just hit Q by myself into any rated play when I donât really have many friends left playing the game and would rather not use LFG.
The game mode doesnât need to be perfect or be perfectly balanced. Just let me Q and be guaranteed a completed game. I have to believe most people fall into the same boat as me, thereâs just a very loud whiney minority on the forums.

using the xp potion in BFA was ok. stacking multiple pots for one big effect was not ok. people got banned.
leaving an arena is ok (power outage, emergency, etc). thatâs the intended reason for it. purposefully leaving to gain/preserve xp you donât deserve is not ok. people should be banned.
exploits are when you take a system and twist it to do more than it intends to a harmful degree.

thatâs not really what i meant. the people arguing with you arenât saying that this exploit adheres to the spirit of the game or the TOS, theyâre saying that that spirit doesnât matter, that blizzard is obligated to allow 100% of the things that are mechanically permitted by the gameâs code

Everyone should get 1 leave per 3 days. In case of dc imo.
Of course this still could be abused if player just waits 3 days between each que. Would be a really long climb though lol.
While I think they should have fixed it earlier. I agree with you.
You didnât lock the cookies in the vault mom, itâs your fault I ate 24 cookies today.
they can cry about that all they want, but blizzard has historically punished things like this and itâs reasonable to expect theyâll continue to do so.
by their standards, anyone found exploiting this leaver âstratâ should also be DQâd for the season.

I mean, people arenât circumventing the penalty, itâs just that the penalty isnât very severe.

i still want people that leave too much to be sent to do torghast or horrific visions before even being allowed to play the rest of the game

Stacking, account-wide penalties can fix that.
Again, though, the big thing is distributing rating in the event of a leaver and then having the penalty be such that one never feels compelled to consider leaving because it could be advantageous in terms of cr and/or mmr.
Tactically leaving matches shouldnât be a thing, although I guess if they have a lesser penalty if you havenâtâ dodged in a while it could be, but rating still needs to go out for rounds thatâve been played.
yea buddy and blizzard was wrong then too
