Poll of the Day > people who quit online matches when they start losing can are not only losers

(+) Yeah! (+)

arvs sorry that your entitlement is greater than the rest of your teams and if no one else can join the match it hurts more. those kinds of people need to be punished like 24 hour worth of ban for offenses

Brother Arv preaching to the choir.

Arvs tired of toxic communities This guy told Arv and others the team was horrible so Arv helped the other team till the end he shouldve been nice

Quitting every time you START losing? Sure, that is annoying.

Quitting when you screw up and have no chance? Why not? It is my time, I might as well make better use of it.

Yeah. But lots of games, you still have a chance. People just dont wanna work for it. For example, Overwatch. Its usually it over in that game until its over. But people still like to quit early. Even Splatoon/Splatoon 2...

Anyway, I know Nintendo is trying to punish. Like if it happens too many times in Splatoon 2, you start getting like timed bans where you have to wait a set amount of time to play. More games should probably try.

Also, I believe Arv did this topic before...

It's not just you in the game. If quitting robs your opponent of a win on their record, that's not fair to them.

I guess I have an old school approach. People online don't exist. They are just 1's and 0's that interact with me for my pleasure. I don't have time to care about people on the other end.

I dont understand what youre actually saying in your topic title.

That's on the game developers. Conceding in team games is bad because everyone has different ideas of when it's actually over, but in a 1v1 setting forfeiting when you feel you've lost in completely fine and commonplace even in professional scenes. Any modern game with a worthwhile multiplayer mode has functionality to keep track of people quitting out of matches and scoring accordingly.

yeah i'm not mad at quitting mid game, im mad if the game doesnt chalk that as a win and a loss, coming from a card game player conceding is a part of the game, you should know if any combination of draws from your deck can win you the game and if not concede in favor of time because going to time in competitive settings is a serious concern, so conceding is kinda hard wired into me at this point im pretty good about not doing it at fighting games tho since you can always comeback and the games are short

Its even worse with games where someone else can join, because youre sending an innocent gamer into a shit show

I feel like that's more of a new-school mentality than an old school approach. The Internet Asshole quotient has basically been on an ever-rising upward curve since Eternal September started in the mid-90s.

So if you are on a team its only your time?

Arv did do this topic before. Arv encountered a lot of quit after scoring 1 goal in rocket league or quit losing one round of search and destroy in blops 4

I agree with Arv. I was playing Control in Black Ops 4 the other day and it was 1v5 by the third round.
---

I like games that show win loss and DC's in the players stats that way you know if there cowards or have a bad connection

Bunch of self entitled is what they are

I was gonna say the same exact thing. How in the hell is that an old school approach? Lol

Old school would be that you can learn in defeat and still work on your skills all the way until the game is finished. New school would be "oh the opponent doesn't exist as a real person and I will definitely lose" *turn console off*

if arv can dish out ass whoopings arv expects to take the same ass whoopings in a sign of respect. its not fair to only dish out ass whoopings because your time is valuable. arv thinks of this is your just trying to win boost. did the patriots quit against the falcons in super bowl LI the best wins are comebacks

but you like to destroy people?

Didn't you make a topic exactly like this weeks ago? Agreed though. Quitting is so bad just because it seems you're losing at the moment. They give up and let the rest of their team down so fast. You waste everyone's time by leaving early. Sorry, you're just 1 (probably bad) player, your time isn't more important than theirs is.
---

Arv did but that doesnt stop people from making 100s of the same political topics Arv talks about real issues
---

Is it so much to expect to play a game/round to completion though? And expect the opponent to keep trying and lose with dignity?

Imagine if people acted that way in person. Playing a video or any kind of game, and whenever things look bad for them, they just walk away. Even if you technically win, it's pretty frustrating.
---

I cant be sure, but I think Overwatch wont let you play a different match until the one you were in finishes, I think. Once, I was like signed out of something, possibly the game. I was mad because we were doing pretty good. I went to turn everything back on. When I got back to the main menu of the game, it had a button to resume game. I was super happy. And was able to keep playing. If thats true. It can hold quitters until the game is finished. Its nit the best solution. But its does feel nice knowing they cant play for a while while the game they quit is still going on...
---

I'd be okay with that solution. That way selfish behavior in a multiplayer game wouldn't benefit them in any way.

I think another good solution is to make quitters who dont go back into the match either get a loss on their record, or a quit ranking. That way, they cant really quit just to protect their record...

Nah, disconnects should just count as a straight up loss.

Shit even if I have like a 1 in 100 out in a card game I might concede for a number of reasons.
