what if they added a “Vote to Forfeit” option for pvp to hurry along loses. Majority of your faction votes yes to Forfeit then the game pops up a 10 second count down for everyone on both factions saying the other faction has foreited. And maybe just for liability of the game there has to be a rule where forfeit cant be actived until other factions is double your points or something like that.

Yes, we need more of that LoL attitude in here where one thing going wrong means “ff, go next.”

more along the lines of thinking of saving everyone “time” when everyone already knows the outcome

If we’re talking a non-premade/team of pug players, a “Vote to Forfeit” option wouldn’t be a bad idea as a future addition. The alternative is people leaving after losing the first teamfight or objective X
Especially on Alliance side, if you lose that very first teamfight (hangar, SR, ROC) they almost never recover. So it almost always means either leaving or sitting thru a slow 25-30 minute loss as the other team “snowballs” their lead from winning the first teamfight
A premade? Sure, they can sometimes recover after losing the first teamfight. But it’s very rare with pug players, which is why some sort of “forfeit” or “surrender” option would be a nice QOL feature for us solo-queuers
Idk, this goes for both factions in my xp. Usually first team fight is very indicative of how the rest of the bg is going to go.
Personally I believe that would kill what little incentive players have to improve their game. We all seem to be in such a big hurry to accomplish objectives that we forget that when we get the prize most of us get bored and many leave. Being in a hurry to “win” is kind of what kills competition. Also, if you want to leave, there is always the AFK approach.
/agreed wholeheartedly. After the first objective loss, it resolves to people complaining about whatever, and not putting forth any effort to change the momentum. If they just stick to working the next objective, potentially they may have changed the outcome.
I mean, c’mon, you can’t opt out of a football game if the other team scores first, right? It is not a deathmatch where if you lose the skirmish you lose the fight, and this is by design.

Agreed. The EPIC BGs are the worst. Take Ashran. Both teams rush to the ogres with all the relics. Who ever wins the Ogre battle is almost always is the winner. The first battle is settled in about 5 minutes. Then it is 20 - 30 minutes of getting pushed back to the bridge by your base and getting farmed over and over. Half the team has either left or is AFK at this point. Those who still try are not only out matched, they are also out numbered.
Shortening up long and lengthy un-winable PVP matches is long over due. This idea has been suggested a million times, just like solo queue, and seems to keep falling on deaf ears. If not a surrender button, there should be something done to improve this.

I feel like if this is something blizzard would put in…there would be trolls abusing it.
also i’ve been in losing bgs and i’ve turned them around. alliance already gives up as soon as something turn bad. this will just reinforce that. i dont support that. just leave and take your 15 min debuff lmao

Just follow the FFB plan. Frags, Flags, Boss and it’ll be over in 10-15 if you win the first team fight.
you don’t know the outcome. the choice to leave is based on if you are willing to put in the effort to turn a game around.

WG itself needs to be overhauled to have a hard win condition for defense. take the timer away and make the requirement for defense to win to kill all 3 towers.
You have a forfeit feature. It’s /afk

Exactly. It is interesting that folks want the reward for sticking out a BG without actually sticking it out. Reminds me of certain social entitlements that get abused.
Why not make your time worth while by winning?
That’s a terrible attitude to have.

These situations really call for a leader, but this is not a popular role. Someone who can help focus all the angst into optimism and who can also direct people according to some kind of plan. Unfortunately, when the proverbial sh*t hits the fan, as you say, people tend to crumble.

They could just fix the PvP system rather than applying band-aids to gushing wounds.
