Either way, they are leaving then. Takes them off the BGs for a time and allows for someone that wants to play to take their place.
Possible, which results in a vote kick perhaps.
They don’t leave anyway, not on my BGs at any rate. The whole point of the pissing and whining they do is to do it for an audience, they leave, audience gone, so they stay and continue.
i’ll be back after 15 mins. i only leave if the team wont play objectives. had a wsg where they fought in mid twice while the efc ran up the side yesterday
only me and one other person were on them
tbh i wish those people would be the ones to quit, id prefer they do something else
^ The point of his posts.
i dont care if people like it. i dont like when people wont play objectives myself. maybe they should get kicked and learn how to play 15 year old maps before joining
if we lose playing objectives i can live with that
But but my stats!!
Well, people don’t want to waste their time with bad players/bad teams, it makes sense why they would leave “2 minutes in” like you mentioned.
In most bgs, you can usually predict the outcome of the match within the first ~5 minutes or so. I say “usually” because there are exceptions here and there. Not being negative, just realistic.
Mind you, my perspective mostly comes from playing hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of 40-man bgs, but even a decent # of the little bgs play out the same way with regards to “the first 5 minutes rule”:
Anyways, I notice like 85-90% of the people on this particular subforum mainly play little/smaller bgs (unless they are on alts I am not aware of?), so I don’t understand why this topic is such a big deal to them in the first place? 
Some dude left your Arathi Basin / Warsong Gulch? 1-2 players left from your team, so what? Seems like something that hardly warrants a second thought, much less all these forum posts on the topic.
1 player leaving a bg is nothing… I’ve sometimes seen up to 15-21 players leave in the first 5 minutes of a match (literally), and I don’t really think that much of it… I just chalk it up to a weak/bad team and hope the next team does better.
all of this true. i still dont leave after losing a group fight, i leave when the group is incompetent. if i make a fundamental mistake that costs us the match i dont cry if people leave either
Sorry Luncharoo, you’re gonna have to get your free lunch SOMEWHERE ELSE.
I don’t wanna have my time wasted by quitters, that tuck tail 2 minutes into a 15 minute game.
Clearly we’re at an impasse. We’re gonna need Jugaa to come in and settle this.
Disagree with all of this btw, except EOTS. Mid is a DPS/healer check and how bad your team gets stomped there is a good yardstick for the rest, not foolproof, but decent.
8 minute queues aren’t the problem. It’s waiting 8 minutes to have something instantly end only to wait 8 more minutes. Why am I paying to play a game that legitmately wastes my time? I feel sorry for people as stupid as you.
In before “SIXTEEN MINUTES!!! OMG YOU POOR BABY!!!” Lol.
Beat me to it
They should make the deserter debuff account-wide and stacking.
The system should also prioritize frequent deserters when searching for replacements.
what they should really do is leave deserter alone and put in a mercy rule, or at least not backfill if losing past a certain point
Lol that would be too funny and very Blizzard like
Patch notes : Deserter debuff account wide
After deserting multiple times those will be placed in the Player vs Bot queue
After winning 78 full games in a row without leaving , player account will be placed back to regular queue
Yes. You’ll find the only people against this idea are the frequent deserters, though, and unfortunately there are a fair few on this forum so this idea always gets shouted down.
I’m also a big fan of pairing frequent deserters together for fresh bgs and see how long it takes to complete one.
people that leave are not a pact or any type of group. lots of people leave, thats why blizzard wont come down on them
the “i never leave” crowd are just a vocal minority
it only takes 4-6 people to change the outcome of a 40vs40 bg as long as they step it up
takes about 3-4 organized people for every other bg
They really should put deserters into in progress BGs only til they shape up. They know who the deserters (account wide) are and they deserve each other, over and over!
10-15m BG’s all end within 20 mins, maybe 25 at most. There’s no need for that, especially since it will be abused.
AFK out and accept the punishment.
