This pretty much sums it up for me. I wasn't going to weigh in on this but since I burnt up some space in the thread with posts about the troll, I want to get back to the topic. I may get frustrated at work and WANT to leave, but I know there will be repercussions if I do. I also know that even if I can get away with it and leave early or call in, I may not get in trouble but it's going to hurt my co-workers and make their jobs harder and they will probably be pissed at me. I know how it feels to be on the other side of that too. Yes, War Robots is just a game and work is, well... "work" but the principal remains the same. If you see your team is already down a man or filled with snipers/campers in BR, then the match will probably be over rather quickly anyway, right? Why not stay in there and do your maximimum amount of damage you can before the round ends? That's fast and easy keys and Ag! Just go in there, spawn where all the action is, do maximum damage and mech out! (Then leave) ? I agree with you. Finish what you start, it's not that long. But I'm of a mind that if you don't wish to play on a particular map that should be the player's choice. Some of you may remember that when the LQ was first implemented a representative from Pixonic informed everyone that dropping out of a match after the pre-match countdown and before the match actually started wasn't going to be counted against us and that the mm would replace any players that opted out of playing those matches. Well those of us who do remember know just how well that has worked out. Pixonic went back on its word and penalizes people for doing it without ever informing anyone about it. And their mm obviously can't handle their optimism about replacing players on the spot. If you promise something you should deliver. Going back on your word makes you a disreputable 「bum-bum」hole. My HEATHEN CAT profile has dug itself a hole with Pixonic's ungenerous help that I will never be able to get out of this side of a year or possibly longer. Thus I am very well aquainted with the LQ and all its properties. It's where Pixonic decided to hide their ineptitudes and lies. Most of the players in it are leaver/skippers. Players that have decided that they don't wish to participate on certain maps. These players are not tankers at all. On the contrary they maintain their rankings just fine. Pixonic should have built in a map choice option. But in their ineptitude they did not. The rest of the players in the LQ are people with chronic connection issues, your run of the mill stupid super tanker who hasn't got a clue about how to use Pixonic's generously available tanking system properly without leaving/skipping maps and being penalized for it, and the who the hell knows what happened Recruits and Privates that have just joined to game and have no clue as to what is going on. And Pixonic, in its infinite wisdom, throws all of these disparate players together into some of the most egregiously mismatched matches you will ever see. I don't invite anyone to experience it unless you're a gaming masochist or sadist. But its there waiting for you if you really want it. I don't know if the map is predetermined already DURING that pre-match countdown (where it tells you average time waiting) but I was thinking IF the map already was determined at that point and it was just waiting for the players to fill, then it would be cool if instead of the usual graphic, there was a graphic of what map was coming up. Then if you left at that point, before the rest of the players joined and the REGULAR countdown started, it would be okay. Probably makes too much sense to be considered though.

Problem with free ability to skipmaps is, then you get specialization. Most critically, you will get almost fully sniper/midrange hangars, which only play the open long maps, which then become unplayable to balanced hangars. Also, same way, short maps will see more brawler-only hangars, which also puts balanced hangars at a bit of disadvantage. Another problem is even longer MM time.

I was thinking that at first to but honestly I don't see it making a whole lot of difference. Maybe a little bit but with BR, it no longer matters if the map is big or not because you can spawn in next to all the action and knife fight or spawn away from it and snipe. We already kind of have that choice. Dom has already become over 50% sniper/camper. If anything, allowing map skipping might make it better. People are going to run what they want regardless of mode and map. Look how many snipers still show up in BR. As for it taking longer to start games, I doubt it would be THAT much longer of a wait. There doesn't seem to be much of s general consensus on a map or 2 in particular that the majority of players hate. Seems like for every person that hates a map, there's another who loves it. I doubt there would be much longer than an additional 15s wait.

I know it's frustrating when that happens but I think that you should do your best in every game you can. (And even if u lose you still get money)

I don't think this is the first time someone has encouraged tanking or leaving on here. But all newcomers should be made aware that the majority of us scorn this type of behaviour.

I cant and wont stop you or anyone from dropping out a game. Aint my job ?
Cant and wont stop you or anyone from suggesting others to do the same. Aint my job either ?
But i do know playing noricums/zenit/hydra/gekko/treb/nashorn/kangdae/machine guns/tulumbas/umm...spirals the idiot noob way should be able to annoy the hell out of blues, then they will probably rage quit. But then you wont be leaving and neither will the reds since playing noob will certainly benefit the reds.
?
Wait, are you red? Am I red? Who benefits? Does it matter?
? OMG im confused! Im making senseless post. What are we talking abt here? Should you leave? Should I leave? ?
Too...painful...to...think.

Having a excuse to get that -22 league points, so you can keep clubbing newer players wiyh lower level gear. How convenient. This is why we can't have nice things.

In fact it appears that tuefelhunden and navyseal101 are the same person. That 'Humans will never change' line is common with both accounts. tuefelhunden is even spelt wrong, so the account was made in haste. tuefelhunden is German for devil dogs which matches the profile pic. Something to look for in any future posts by this user on other accounts. Thanks for the info. We have already detected another sockpuppet of his. Guessing he will make 50 more...

I'll just say this -- if leaving when the game turns to crap is how you want to play, then leave. Leave a lot, and by all means skip maps you don't like, too, because then it won't be long before I won't have to worry about you leaving one of my teams on one of my increasingly frequent bad days.

While I don't necessarily agree with the sentiment here, I also don't think it's necessary to try to shame the OP for this post. A tiny fraction of the game's population visits this site, so it is unlikely this particular opinion would influence a significant number of players, even assuming 100% of those who visit this site see it. It's obvious to me having played quite a few games lately that a large number of players share this sentiment anyway as the number of players I see leaving games early has skyrocketed since the last update. My experiences with the game recently leave me in a position where I find it difficult to find fault with players who do think this way. Quite frankly I can't see how anyone who has been on the wrong end of a full master-level squad with comms vs. a random team of diamond/expert players wouldn't have at least a bit of sympathy for this position. There are A LOT of games where the teams are so unbalanced that the game is over in less than 5 minutes. I don't find it fun to be on either side of that, and I certainly don't think anyone wants to "play" just so some master-level player with a maxed out hanger can use your level 9 hanger to boost his max damage score. Pixonic obviously doesn't care about the player's discontent with this situation, as evidenced by the fact that they not only don't fix this, but actively exacerbate the problem. It appears the only thing they really do care about is the bottom line, so perhaps if enough players do start doing this, and numbers decline as a result they'll actually act on it.

First off, this is my ONLY account to those Sherlocks out there that claim I am making numerous accounts to 'Stick it to the man!'. Lol. I am not a Conspiracy Theorist. Lol. Sorry.
Second, Dark Vagabond, you're something else to rip into me about grammar. Lol. I understand there's a typo and will fix it. That's no problem. BTW, thanx.
Thirdly, i am not promoting ANYTHING! This was just how i felt after being a long time and avid player. I'm quite sure our gamers out there are intelligent enough not to blindly believe what just one person says before checking out the facts. We need to give them that much credit.
BTW, isn't the rant section the place where we can go to, what else, rant about the game without fear of persecution from our fellow peers?
When i first started, i thoroughly enjoyed the game (and still do) but, after seeing all of the changes and with the intro of the MM, I began to become frustrated. There was an element of pure joy of just playing the game with fellow players that was removed from it.
With Pix (or whoever is running the show) trying to 'Doll up' the game to make it fancier took out the part that made all off us fall in love with the game in the first place.
THE PURE FUN OF IT OF JUST BEING A GAME.
Where no lines needed to be crossed and you could make a friend on the other side of the world in seconds. Where there were no divisions of race, creed, or faith. I actually do have a clan but when i need to go solo because my mates are not on, time difference, i have no choice but to go solo and see all of the irritating situations.
If the members and the administrators believe i should be banned then so be it.
I will apologize before signing off to those i may have offended. It was not my intent. I am an honorable person.
As a note to those as to whom i really am.... I am a USMC Veteran and love the hell out of this game and believe in fair play and good tactics. Honor God, Country, Corps, & family.
I almost died about a year ago at work without warning due to a weak heart. (Only 10% strong). And have been struggling since. I lost my job because of it as well.
My Doc keeps screaming at me to stop playing because she knows my blood pressure goes thru the roof when I play. LMAO! Can't. Love it too much. Especially when you can't do nothing much else because of medicine and health. Which is another reason i don't post too often.
Everyone in this forum I have met or read about is very intelligent and friendly. I wish you all the best.
SEMPER FI.

Hey ya'll! fadedstar posted this on FaceBook... ...and I had a thought. Pass it around and if you agree with it post it to Pixonic on their FaceBook pages, their in game support apparatus and anywhere else you frequent any War Robots related social media. But do it on Pixonic's FB and support pages over and over again. Whoever did this video they got it down pat imo.

Do NOT follow this advice. What the OP doesn't understand is that if you leave matches you get placed in a separate matchmaking tier called Leavers Queue. LQ is a sort of matchmaking purgatory where you will only face other Leavers and these players will be anything from Recruit League all the way up to the maxed hangars of Champion League. In LQ it's almost impossible to have a competitive game as you almost never have a game of 6 vs 6 (remember, you are playing only with Leavers after all). In fact, I would hazard a guess to say that the reason the OP isn't enjoying his matches is because he already found himself in LQ by accident, probably from skipping maps, and this is the main reason he is not enjoying his matches. Needless to say, if you follow this advice, you will also experience the same level of enjoyment (or lack thereof). While it IS possible to play your way out of LQ by playing every match all the way through, the number of matches required is often relative to how many matches you have left prematurely. Many players find it much easier just to start again on another account and start having fun again right away. In any case, I repeat, do NOT leave matches. You will end up regretting it, just as so many players before you who though it was a good idea at the time. Ignore this warning at your own peril. Golden Sabre SuperHero perhaps we should lock this thread. I would hate a newbie to come on here and experience the same fate... Dark, for a relative newbie to the game here. Uh, how do you know if you are in the Lq, and, if so how do you get out of it? Reason I ask, I have had to leave several times because the game simply locks up on me. And when it does, my Mech won't respond, the game itself won't respond. I can't go to say the menu window, can't get a mech to stop/walk/ fire stop firing etc...it'll start spinning round and round and round eventhough I'm not even touching the mouse. And then, after a match, I can't accept loss/win earnings etc...nothing works! To get things working again. I have to kill it using task manager. But after stumbling across this forum looking for a fix to the prob I have. I find out about this Lq thing and how you get sent there if you leave battles. I'd rather avoid that if I can. Thanks, I'll be watching for a reply, hope your not the wrong one to ask. LOL

The caliber of players and all around good sportsmanship are long gone. Just like human kindness and common sense. Don't get frustrated with the game anymore. If the other players aren't getting beacons on purpose. Leave the game. If 3 or 4 players auto kill their mechs at the beginning because they're too scared or weak to play a certain map because they, (loud baby cry), don't like it. Just leave. If players shoot at you when the game starts, you know they can't be trusted to win the game. Leave the game. I wish there were signs of players who have only 4 or even 3 mechs notated next to their name. That way i could decide to leave early because many of those people, especially in gold league and above cant hang with those with 5 mechs for the long game. I don't get mad anymore. I leave and stay relaxed. I don't give 2 s*!ts if I drop in league status. The leagues are a joke. Maybe i can go back to bronze. At least it was fun. Players do what they want, when they want and don't follow rules of gameplay. Especially new players. People don't care or have a heart to follow rules or what their actions make others feel. Lol. Oh well. I'll just continue to leave when needed and just relax. Humans will never change. Hahahahahahaha I do that a lot!!! Me too, + No, I don't do it intentionally either. Everytime I spawn, my mech drops down out of the sky shooting? And well since (thanks to the lag I think is the issue causing this) I'm ALWAYS the last one to load-drop so I thought everyone's mech did that when loading up. I mean by the time I'm in a board, everyone's already shooting. And no, that' don't mean I dont' try to take beacons or be a good teammate either. we all work with, what intel, and tech we have do we not?

Thanks, I'll be watching for a reply, hope your not the wrong one to ask. LOL Hi mate - thanks for the question. Most of the info you need is already in the above post. To summarise again, you know you’re in LQ when: 1. You’re facing opponents that are more than 2 leagues higher or lower than you (eg. If you’re in bronze or silver league and you’re facing Champion League players, then it’s pretty much definite) 2. You FREQUENTLY have blue and red teams without a full 6 players, or you see at the end of the match there two or three players per side that scored no damage at all. Again, in LQ this will be a REGULAR occurrence. 3. You can also email Pixonic and they can tell you definitively if your pilot name is on their Leaver’s Queue server. Pixonic is secretive about the exact number of matches you have to leave in order to end up in LQ. They also won’t tell you how many you need to play to get out. This is to prevent rogue players from misusing the system. I can tell you, you probably need to leave about 10 - 20 matches almost consecutively in order to get sent there. Like I said, you CAN play your way out, but you can only do so by not quitting any matches for any reason. That means you cannot leave the game at any point after hitting the red ‘to battle’ button, even while you’re waiting for the game to start. There are only two situations where you can safely leave the match; when you have meched out, or when the timer runs out. Unfortunately this is regardless of whether you have any hardware or software problems. My only advice there would be to run your account on a device that can reliably facilitate the game. Most players on this forum manage this. Does that answer your question?

Dark, for a relative newbie to the game here. Uh, how do you know if you are in the Lq, and, if so how do you get out of it? Reason I ask, I have had to leave several times because the game simply locks up on me. And when it does, my Mech won't respond, the game itself won't respond. I can't go to say the menu window, can't get a mech to stop/walk/ fire stop firing etc...it'll start spinning round and round and round eventhough I'm not even touching the mouse. And then, after a match, I can't accept loss/win earnings etc...nothing works! To get things working again. I have to kill it using task manager. But after stumbling across this forum looking for a fix to the prob I have. I find out about this Lq thing and how you get sent there if you leave battles. I'd rather avoid that if I can.

Unfortunately this is regardless of whether you have any hardware or software problems. My only advice there would be to run your account on a device that can reliably facilitate the game. Most players on this forum manage this. Does that answer your question? Just a couple of problems with your descriptions there. Matches have absolutely no limit to what ranks you will be playing with. You will play with whoever Pixonic decides you are going to play with be that raw level 2 Recruits to full blown mega-Champions all in the same matches. It's truly a homogeneous experience. The criteria for release from the LQ consists of Pixonic's continual parroting of the two phrases, "Do not leave matches early", and, "Do not skip any maps". What they failed to mention is just what you also stated in not leaving the pre-match countdowns and having no too frequent connection issues. There is one more criteria that you didn't cover and that's the fact that you must be doing damage in every match or be counted as "leaving". How much damage is unknown so shoot enemies as often as possible.
