there is already a debuff plus loss of rating in shuffle
a major escalation was tried a long time ago by bliz and it caused a huge reduction in participation
it is a balancing act of what decreases motivation to leave while also maintaining participating in a system they know ends up wasting player’s time sometimes
like i said, when you punish players for your own bad system design, it is your fault - not the players
Oh, is it that soon? I remember that one FM Hpal in like Crimson saying he’d regularly get up to 4 hours because he’d leave versus every disc, and…at one point every game was disc.
It’s so sad how they said this and then for all intents and purposes did absolutely nothing within the last year (e.g., trash boxes, extra conquest, trinket cooldown reduction for healers, and a lame title are all worthless in terms of helping queue times).
The level of “I don’t care” is astounding. Queue times are worse now than when this post was made in my experience. 30-50 minutes is the norm now, whereas when that post was made, 15-30 minutes was (this is probably due to the lame idea to pit healers in a 1v1 and thus screw them over mmr wise, making people even less incentivized to heal solo shuffle).
Even the most simple solutions, e.g., large amounts of gold (e.g., 5 digit amounts per 10 rounds won or something like that) or bmah boxes for every so many games won, haven’t been implemented, when these things would have no negative impact to the game (e.g., the wow token already destroys all in-game economic integrity, and the bmah boxes would only be offering a chance at cosmetics).
If I didn’t already realize that the devs rarely read the arena forums, I would think that the devs go out of their way to read the forums regularly in an effort to ensure that they completely disregard all player suggestions.
15, 30, hour, two, four. I think that’s how it goes so that’s only 5 matches left a day. Least I think it resets, because I never got a high deserter. Biggest one I had was an hour, maybe enough time passes by the next day to reset it that low. (That was from me leaving every double/trip DH/DK lobby this season)
