AFK in Ranked Battles

Current Ranked is just Random with less players. It is not skill rewarding.

 

It should have been changed long ago. If the team has 6 players, then the first 4 from the winning team and the first 2 from the losing team should get a star, to reward the player performance and not to allow potatoes to be carried. This would also solve the AFK problem.

This in itself is already more skill rewarding.

The less players in a match, the more individual skill will matter, because 1 player will have more influence on the battle.

No. Using this logic then 1 vs.1 would be the most skill rewarding, and in reality is the most ship dependent from all.

 

WoT tried to fix this system long ago - chevrons.

Exactly, this is why an afk is a huge loss to a team in Ranked Battles

The rules need changing regarding AFK players in ranked Battles, at present they only go pink which is ridiculous.

 

Yes i know that sometimes things happen: phone rings, someone knocks door etc, i get that and it happens, but the rules still need changing.

 

I would propose the following rules for AFK players...

 

1-  Just a warning for 1st afk in ranked sprint

 

2- A 2nd afk by the same player in the current ranked sprint should incur a 4 hour ban from the current sprint

 

3- A 3rd afk by the same player in the current ranked sprint should incur a 12 hour ban

 

4- A 4th afk by the same player should be a perma ban until the current sprint has ended

 

Thoughts ?

Very much against this.

 

I get you're all EpIC gAmErS

But chaos minds and people with a family have higher priorities than stroking your E peen.

 

Somtimes it takes a hot 3 minutes before I get a match so I go do more usefull things. and with the new very much NOT optimized afk detector this would ban me and other individuals for joining the battle 2 minutes late.

 

People with a family can have family matters mid match that need to be taken care of.

 

If theres a fire somewhere in the house or any other calamity because of dumbass neighbours. Last thing you should think of is: damn. I can't leave my team alone in  a vidgy game.

 

Remember this is just a game. 

You're not gonna die in real life if you die in the game.

Unless your life is really well.. lets be nice.. Uninteresting...

Take the above comment as an example, such a player would have to enter a huge amount of Ranked Battles being afk to achieve the players aim, this is wrong as the impact on teams he enters afk is huge

 

As i said earlier; i get that some players have disconnection problems or in game freezes or any other problems that causes them to be afk (i have had my share of them), but after 4 or 5 times being afk because of such problems they should not be entering ranked battles as they already know the liklehood of disconnection is high (at least until the problem is resolved), now my point is not to ban everyone that disconnects from the game if they rejoin even after 5 minutes they should not be treated as an afk (its not the same}, but players consistently being afk should face a harsher ban.at least until the end of the current Ranked Sprint

So bad connection is some1 has on purpose?

Cmon there is still alot of country's with mediocre internet at best.

Ofc you don't have a bad connection on purpose.

But when you KNOW you have a bad connection and disconnect every few minutes but you continue anyway you are egoistic and put the burden on your teammates on purpose.

 

Compare it with having an infectious disease: Did you choose to get it? No. Do you have the choice to go to the concert you wanna see or stay at home? Yes.

He is not here to make sense,  but to defend his employers ideas, even the stupid ones.

 

Typical for autocrathic leadership in general or Russian leadership in particular, they dont accept any critic or different opinion, even if it is correct.

 

1 vs 1 Brawl with different ship classes is the most idiotic one. You need at least 3 ships in a team for some balance.

Yeah, dont be AFK, thats just bad and drags down ranked quality. Have the decency and at least do it like all the other 42% enjoyers and charge in at full speed for survival times under 2 minutes.

I mean.. you even quoted him, how did you miss this?

 

This hardly takes away from that fact that in 1v1 you are still most responsible for your team's performance. No teammates to blame for the results - good or bad.

As for the ship dependency, this is something you can take into account before going into battle. And it isnt as if a bad player will win against good players all the time only because of the ship he picked.

No they wont BUT if you pick say Texas (to be in line with current format of Rank) and you draw a Kamikaze? Or if you pick say Ohio and draw a Somers or even a Shima? Or if you take out say IDK Baltimore and the enemy shows up in Massa or even Ncal/Vladivostok? Yeah if they are utterly potato you might win but otherwise hardly

So then you should be strategic in your pick.
Part of it is the decisions before you go into battle, not only in battle.

 

Take a ship that is decent against DDs, can fight cruisers and is able to win against battleships.
Can think of a few...

Their should be a Ranked Season of 1v1

 

Each sprint could even specify different classes

 

eg... Sprint 1- BB v BB, Sprint 2 Cruiser v Cruiser etc...

 

With the final Sprint being "choose your own ship", obviously same tier

 

Just a thought

Would this not force you to only play a very small number of meta ships if you want to win? ie just like the 1v1 Brawls for BBs KM BBs with torps etc?

But this in turn only leads to the same ships - Schlieffen anyone? - and then people try to strategize and use ships which work against that thing rather well, creating the .... not really enjoyable 1 on 1 experience. I personally use memetaur, as I find it fun to play and it's box of tricks gives me ample tools to murder almost any enemy.

But getting pigeonholed into always the same "meta" ships is:etc_swear: boring. I want to play other ships, say, Druid. I get Schlieffens down to 10% - and only because of that dented secondary mechanic, allowing zero skill players to still deal damage while rolling their face on the keyboard.
