I leave if:

1. Excessive server connection issues. Not worth my time to be playing 3-5 seconds behind everyone with a ping of 900

2. Need to get off for real-life interruptions

3. Toxic lobby. I don't play with bad sports - I just excuse myself and leave for a better one.

4. I accidentally hit "Any Mode" instead of TDM. The other modes take too long for me.

5. Oops! Out of time!

I live only if:

 

1. Excessively varying ping, especially when it climbs but never comes back down while I'm the only one on at home.

2. Carrying the team I'm on. As much fun as this is, it can get old real quick, the team takes the mentality of "xxx will get the points/eu/silo/AA caps" and stop trying.

3. irl issues, two dogs, a cat and a ferret, none of them like each other i'll leave that to your imagination.

4. Other rl issues aside from those above in 3.

I usually will leave because I have no choice. Other times it is because of technical issues with my game or computer. Rarely I will leave because of frustration.

I have never left a match and I can pull up my stats to prove it, I have even played some really horrible ones where it was like 2 vs 5 and still stuck it out.

Me? I don't leave matches voluntarily apart from if my friend comes online and we wanna party.

Otherwise, my game crashes or the server kicks me out due to high ping.

AM-SAR is not OP, you just listed every automatic weapon in the game, flak generates a metric buttload of heat to compensate for it's burst damage.  Plus, if you miss, you'll overheat faster than.... cakes

 

The one and only time I overheated was in a Reaper. This was some days ago. 

 

I played Flak Scout, Flak Brawler, AM-SAR Reaper and noticed, DPS, Burst and overall stats are way better than for example EOC, Heat, Slug, etc.

 

Players who overheat with these very very low heat generation (except Incinerator) are really doing something terribly, extremely terribly wrong.

I myself missed like 50% of my shots in a Reaper, which lead to an overheat. 

 

Heat generation is no argument since it's basically not even there.

 

 

And my problem with the Flak is:

 

1. Burst damage as high as its DPS.

2. No charge required, allows you to boost, dodge while relaoding (replace with T32-Bolt).

3. Easy to use, you don't have to aim properly, you can half way miss your target and still deal a good amount of damage.

 

The proble mwith automatic weapons:

 

1. No recoil

2. Way too less Heat generation

3. Accuracy remaisn stable while in mid air due to no recoil.

4. DPS almost as high as the most burst weapons -> 1 sec DPS equals one FULL burst load, too less.

-Incredibly imbalanced games; by this I mean either the enemy is ridiculously stacked in terms of player skill, or the match is a 2v3, 2v4, etc.

 

-People on my team suddenly quit, making the game a 2v3, 2v4, etc.

1) Being seriously outnumbered for too long. I'll stay in a 5v4, 3v2 is dicey, and 2v1 is just untenable.

 

2) Smug, arrogant, condescending players that make the game more toxic than /b

 

3) MM putting me in matches with those way above my skill level. If this were a game where the MM didn't make allowances for skill, I would've just uninstalled and left long ago, and if the new devs don't fix the MMR system, I might anyways.

 

So basically, I leave matches due to bad coding and toxic players.


Still recovering from a neurological incident, spent a couple months learning how to walk without a cane,

figured I'd try a fast-paced game to see if I could get my reflexes back to where they were.

Garage:

A - Infiltrator, Reaper, Technician, Scout

B - Assault (x2), Predator, Raider

C - Brawler, Vanguard, Incinerator

Unfortunately no poll fuction here but why do you leave games?

 

I leave matches for example for the following reasons:

 

- Teammates too bad/feeding/bad KDR

- Too many noobish weapons (easy to use - hig hreward weapons) used by enemy suc has Flak, AR/SMC/Vulcan/AM-SAR

- Have to go for a reason (e.g. if my house is commonly on fire)

- If I carry my team and get force switched to the enemy team (often without even dying)

- 2v3/3v4/4v5/5v6 matches for over three minutes that results in 10:40 matches.

- If the matchmaker refuses to put me in a team with atleast one friend

 

Share your reasons :]

honestly those are pretty stupid reasons aside from your house catching fire or being the only player dominating the whole game. i dont leave because i dont get put in a game with a friend, i dont leave if teams are unbalanced and i sure as hell dont leave to save my k/d or mmr. the only times i ever leave, which i saw recently that i left 15 games out of a total of i wanna say 1.4-1.6k games, was because i legitimately had to leave and its not all for the same reasons. random fuzzy bunny happens near me and for that i end up having to leave my games.

Just left today twice again. If I don't manipulate the matchmaker, matches get unbalanced. Either it is 40-13 or 9-40.

 

I don't care about my team and I will probably never care about. For me, my team is the frontline, the passive battlefield to focus the enemie's attention so I can flank. If tehy fail, I will not support them but wait until I can pick someone out who is standing alone.

 

I get my good KDR, so supporting the team score but if we stil llose, it is (for me) not my fault. End of 'argumentation'.

I used to never leave but now a days I do often and quite frankly It's just because I no longer care. it comes down to me weighing fun being had v.s. the challenge it presents. I no longer feel obligated to be that one link that may keep everyone on a team from leaving in a stomp or the only person that can pose the enemy a threat and stay for others who will never realize the trouble I go through. I just can't do it anymore, and it's not like I'm the only person who's fed up either. The other day I had almost 3 games that emptied out on one side two minutes in in a row after trying up to 10  minutes to snipe a 3 star or even a 2 star game so I wouldn't cause problems while those who leave just immediately join another server. I was so fed up I joined a European server for a game and I would have stayed had my game not crashed when the match ended and when I booted it back up I saw a 3 star game on east. Keep in mind I live in Alaska and playing on a European server is more favorable to my play experience right now than any 3 star east or hell even a west game that just empties after every round.

Yes, because I did not waste my time.

 

Games are supposed to deliver fun, and Hawken MM does not deliver fun to me in some cases. Why not just leaving?

now youre just an idiot. you wait for your team to go 5v6 while you sit on the side lines waiting for someone to be alone? no wonder you have games where youre losing and then cry about your 'teammates' being noobs. youre the problem why you dont win. try playing more copperatively in a TDM hence 'TEAM' Deathmatch. if you wanna be a lone gun go DM and try your skills there.

I really don't leave matches all that often. Most times when I do it's because of high ping or lots of lag that won't go away. Sometimes I'll just be bored and not want to play anymore and don't feel like waiting for the match to end; other times I'll have things to do or someone invited me to a game/party and I like playing with them enough to ditch a match in progress. 


What's the big fuzzy bunnyng deal? Lots of amazing people have committed suicide, and they turned out alright.

With this list I am asking you how often you stay in a match not how often you leave? You can find in every match something to get mad about and leave. Just don't do it.

If something annoys me so much that I quite the game than it's those special players we have here in EU who are good in destroying fun for everyone else - by leaving matches for example.

 

Edit:

After reading your other posts I realise the missing sportsmanship on your side, so their isn't anything to discuss. Go on, do your thing. I am just glad I don't see you that often on servers.

I leave because I can. I'm free to leave when I want. And if team is down by 10 1 min left bye. I hate that closing screen.

 

In general because cats don't listen to no body.

 

The other reason is being a target is no fun.

When you wonder to yourself wheres the team?

Why is that friggin human coming with 3 other mechs to kill this kitten.

 

Did I mention because I can.. Most important reason.

 

Besides the 3 on one gets old quick. While the team does long distance shooting with a short range weapon.

 

I f you kill me one on one you earn respect.

 

One more detail even if they shut the leave game off. Ill close it through windows.

4. DPS almost as high as the most burst weapons -> 1 sec DPS equals one FULL burst load, too less.

It's not my fault you suck. Yes, sustained weapons have higher DPS than Burst weapons. That's the point. They need to fire and make contact for the whole damn second, instead of get their damage off in fractions of a second then dodging/dancing around to drop the sustained DPS to nearly 0. And, if Sustained weapons had high heat generation, then they aren't actually Sustained.

 

Heat generation is there. It's generally not something that will lead to overheat, but that's not really its job. Its job is to force the player to pace their firing, which it does.

 

And yes it is partially on you if your team fails even if you personally have a high KDR - support your teammates. If you can't play with others, please never push any button other than "Deathmatch" in the matchmaking lobby.

Only acceptable reason to leave is when society demands you to. Or nature is calling you elsewhere. 

Anything besides that is an excuse, including leaving out of frustration when entering a 30/10 server with 2 minutes left for the fifth time in a row.

A real hero would take it as a challenge and defend the losing team's honor to the end.

Heat genereation is not supposed to overheat you. lol. So water is not supposed to cool your mech down for example? Your argumentation is nonsense.

Ovearheationg is indeed there to overheat (as the name already says) your mech. But in its current form, you can teake out a whole team even if you miss like half of your shots.

 

You know, some time back, there was no 3-sec-insta-cooldown and guess what. Mechs actually overheated in matches more than once! It was clearly a broken mechanic. They had to urgently remove this because when overheated mechs were unable to shoot! This was terrible! How can you imagine a shooter without beeing able to shoot? 

 

And why shall I support my team? I am a backstabber, flanker. I would suicide when I would fight actively at the frontlines. I use people like you to hold back the enemy so I can do my job. Cannonfood, nothing more.

 

 

Also, 1v1 me bro, if you dare with your sweet pilot lv 29 and your 5 mechs (3 of them Assaults hahaha).

If I get spawned into a game mid-match on a team that's winning by a huge margin (like 20 to 5), I'll usually leave. I don't deserve a win like that, and the other team certainly won't appreciate someone unbalancing the match further.

 

Other than that, I usually don't leave unless I get a phone call I know I can't get out of, I have to leave the house, nature calls, or my ping is being exceptionally wonky (like firing-a-TOW-and-nothing-comes-out-and-suddenly-I'm-ded sort of wonky). Usually if it's a ping issue, I'll try to fix it and reconnect tho. I've been spawned into games on the losing side of a stomp... those I actually like staying in. It's oddly fun trying to bring back a losing team from a stomp, even if most of the time I can't do much to help. :tongue:

ok so you have a 64% win rate, why are you still complaining about the 36% loss? you said it yourself, you can care less about your team and suicide to get one kill. theres no cooperation in suiciding if you watch from the side lines. nice argument though
