Just curious since this is the second time someone has said this, what site are people looking at to draw this conclusion? Is it just seeing my rating on checkpvp?
I admittedly leave more shuffles than I should, but I wouldn’t say I “spam” leave them.
At least 1-2 of my recent “leaves” were due to legitimate connection issues (massive lag spikes leading to dc, internet disruption).
For the handful or so of others, the vast majority were due to dps talking trash, and there may have been a few I left due to feeling trolled [e.g., dps dying without using major cds and having no excuse, dps blowing major defensives for no good reason, etc.].
I’m not trying to defend the reasons I leave, but at this point I am very jaded, so my tolerance for shuffle is much lower than it used to be. Couple that with no new rewards + my main spec being relegated to trash tier (imo) for the rest of the expansion, and you more or less have someone who is more or less queueing out of habit to cap vault, and that doesn’t really care about anything else.
I honestly don’t care about rating if there is no reward I want tied to it, and as shameful as it may be, I actually get pleasure out of leaving whenever I am given a reason to (largely because I don’t care about rating), because I know that the trash talking and/or troll dps player will have to go back to sitting a dreadfully long queue.
Admitting this is probably going to make me public enemy number 2 [e.g., I don’t think I will take number 1 spot because you guys really seem to dislike Swole because of some gamer words/trash talk used in discord or something like that].
It is what it is though. I don’t think I’m alone either, because when I queue on a dps toon (I also leave my fair share on those too for similar reasons because I just don’t really care), there is probably a leaver at least 1 out of every 4-5 lobbies.
Being jaded is the best answer I can give you though (not saying it’s a good answer, but it is what it is).
Not that I have much motivation to push, but I will probably push for Elite achieve at some point before the season ends, just for the achievement, and when I do I will disable chat again [e.g., this one simple trick does wonders for climbing].
Honestly don’t really care though either way. If hpal remains in its current state, I am mentally checked out of this expansion.
I apologize to all of the dps players that get screwed on queues because of the one bad apple that had to talk trash (again this is usually why I leave, probably 9/10 times for this reason) [e.g., my favorite that seems to be a popular dps comment is “hello, paladin, how about you bop, lay on hands, anything?” when they died having forbearance, but I’ll also leave on pretty much any “healer diff” comment when I’m losing rounds, or “you suck” equivalent].
Unfortunately I can’t really talk trash back without the fear of getting banned again, so my new weapon of choice is leaving (and Blizzard should probably fix their punishment system for leavers, because the fact that I don’t lose mmr, or any meaningful amount of mmr for leaving, is just silly).
Commence the hate flow, I am prepared
