Epic BGs and premades

Naww, why are you a hypocrite?

It’s funny but also not surprising whatsoever that you don’t understand that analogy. Just because there is “research” of something doesn’t mean that it’s true. You can simply look at America. The last four years there has been a “light on crime” policy, and because of that crime has skyrocketed. Plus, it very simply logic, if you allow bad things to happen bad things keep happening. Shocker I know. But anyways none of this matters, either blizzard fixed the very obvious problem, or you can enjoy dodging each other till the day the game shuts down.

It’s funny but also not surprising that you won’t link anything.

punishing criminals just makes them better criminals

Another brilliant take as to why we can’t address premades, guys. If they get punished, they’ll somehow get even better at making premades.

If you punish a child for lying, they lie more…

You should not punish or corner your child when they’re caught in a lie. This can lead to more serious lies or resentment.

Research shows that long prison sentences have little impact on crime. Time in prison can actually make someone more likely to commit crime

Research indicates that the punishments associated with deterrence do not make a significant difference when it comes to preventing future crime. Some punishments, such as incarceration, can actually increase the likelihood of criminal recidivism, as people who have served long prison sentences can become desensitized to the prospect of future jail time.

I can keep linking things if you want.

I swear you people have no idea.

It sounds an awful lot like that line, “If you kill your enemies, they win.”

Wrap it up folks, we can’t punish people.

You can, but it’s ineffective.

Positive reinforcement is much more effective…

Positive reinforcement works exceedingly better and faster than punishment.

Positive reinforcement is generally more helpful than punishment. First, it has the potential to result in more desired behavior from the person being reinforced. Additionally, positive reinforcement often leads to a person feeling better about themselves, which can motivate them to keep exhibiting the desired behavior. Plus, punishment can lead to resentment or revenge.

Don’t you want to be effective?

Scratch that – we need to coddle the grown adults ruining BGs. Positive reinforcement, guys.

So, you don’t want an effective solution?

I think banning the people in premades would be incredibly effective.

Just like killing people prevents murder.

Oh wait…

Sir, this is a video game.

And you think banning people will prevent them from playing again if they want to?

You should check out Camomo.

I think banning the people organizing premades will show the people participating in premades how Blizzard feels about them.

Players can still sync queue knowing that it’s against the rules. They can get reported and banned. Just like several other aspects of this game. At any rate, the fear of being banned would drastically reduce the amount of people trying to premade

That’s just an assertion, one of which you have no evidence for.

Does the fear of being banned drastically reduce bots?

Does the fear of being banned drastically reduce bots?

Yes.

How do you know?

Because if you told me I could bot fishing with a 100% guarantee I wouldn’t get banned, then I probably would have. And so would many other people.

You’re falling back to, “we shouldn’t even have rules because people don’t like to follow them”. It’s a bit absurd

So, your evidence of why bots aren’t prevalent is because you would if you could?

And you think you have the moral high ground?
