Ever had a queue pop for someone to not accept due to people playing multiple accounts and multiple toons?
This should be reigned in, bring in no-show debuff for people not accepting queue you are wasting multiple people’s time. Not to mention you can dodge the queue for free without consequence, anyone not see a problem with that? Other ranked games(like dota 2) put you in low priority queue(forced unranked) for doing this.
edit: possible solution: make the accepting queue 3 mins long, but add no-show
Yeah, it isn’t irregular to see 5+ dodges for a shuffle or blitz and they really should just debuff you if you’re regularly or semi-regularly doing it to discourage potential manipulation.
It is also a time waster where you just have people pressing queue then going afk.
It wouldn’t be so bad, if it weren’t coupled with: 1. Ques CONSISTENTLY longer than the average, I think of 48 hours of ques I’ve had maybe ONE where it was the que average or less, everything else has gone multiple times over it… for multiple ques, 2. The fact that it feels like either folks aren’t trying, or just aren’t good at random solo que.
an hour long wait JUST to either be endlessly dodged or eventually get a RBG and know it’s gonna be a failure is… not good no matter how you slice it.
Honestly, Occam’s razor dictates that I shouldn’t even assume it’s done maliciously, it could just be point #1 putting everyone to sleep or off guard not expecting it to pop.
You spend HOURS in que or requeing and have like a 5 minute window to hit accept, imagine you sit there till you have to take a bio break and suddenly the window finally decides: “Okay…NOW!!”. The sheer inefficiency of that system just hurts everyone.
i miss Qs regularly… bathroom, looking at my phone, tabbed, etc.
If I literally do anything I have a chance of missing it. need to grab food? go to kitchen after a 18min avg Q time and being in Q for 2 mins, it pops, i miss it. Wait again for 18 min avg Q, 30 mins to pop.
The system is terrible because there is an extreme lack of healers.
If there was consistent under 5 min Qs, I wouldn’t mind something like this.
Honestly, it’s not the long que time, or even multiple no shows that annoy me most, all of that I could even handle, if it weren’t for the fact that usually… after all that, I get a group of 7 who can’t even follow tactics and proceed to lose the BG in the dumbest and most avoidable ways possible.
Course, if anyone else is equally sick of such a waste of time, we’re slowly getting a PVP team up, a good healer or two and a few more folks would be appreciated. If you’d like, feel free to see Shaedra, Thirstie, or Toulviee about open positions in a PVP group. Those are our officers and assistant officers for PVP.
This would be implemented against healers. Dps missing queue doesn’t matter they are immediately replaced. It also should be 2+ queues to trigger it ideally. Healers insta pop if they are missing multiple queues in rapid succession they are doing it on purpose.
