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 :]

Only if I have to go or if we (friends) go to an other server (because the current server is full and the friend want to play with us).

These, I don't understand. Just deal with it, this is how the game is sometimes.
 


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

 

That is the real problem.. happens way too much. :(

I think your suggestion about the spectator mode would very nicely solve this issue.

 

For me, I tend to leave servers when I feel I overestimated my own skill and came somewhere I really do not belong, yet.

I highly encourage players to stay in matches regardless of what is happening. If a match is uneven politely ask for someone to sit out, or sit out yourself/leave to make it even. Add people you see often stay in games and invite them to your games when spots are open.

 

And try not to encourage bad sportsmanship......no one likes to play with a pilot who is being a fuzzy bunny to them.

I leave mostly because something more important demands my attention (like a fire house or a neighbors fire house). I tend to not rage-quit because it just ruins everyone's game, but some times I just leave if I'm not having fun (winning or losing it doesn't matter). But most of the time I just wait for the match to end so I can switch server (YES, I know it messes up the balance, but if the server is filled with special snow flakes and elitist douche bags its not worth it for me to continue playing there).

1. I've gotten my daily on a match I don't feel like playign anymore.

 

2.  I'm ready to quit because multiplayer games make me really stressed and hyper, whither I'm winning or losing.

 

3.  I'm in a 2v2 match where the other side has the tech/incin combo.

The only time I will leave a match is if something happens IRL that requires immediate attention or if my team has too many people, I will occasionally leave instead of sitting.

The air dodge mechanic is too good. It is the one internal every mech has to have. It is defiantly broken if every top level pilot has to use it. That is saying something when one single game mechanic beats all the others. IE it is too powerful.

I try to only leave due to real life circumstances, and unfortunately this (increasingly) frequently includes my internet shitting out or Hawken freezing on me (I do play on a laptop, to be fair).

 

I've also been known to regequit if I'm drunk or maybe even if I'm just not having a great day. I'll admit it, I'm not perfect. But I have been trying to limit the amount of ragequitting I do as much as possible, and for the most part it's been working. Also if the lobby is crap I usually wait until the end of the match to leave, but there are some scenarios where I'm just not going to stick around for another game.

I leave when my game crashes on me.  Or if I'm overly chatty at the end of my last match for the night and don't leave before the next match begins.  Half the time, I'll play "just one more" if leaving would throw off the balance.  But yeah. Those are generally the only times I leave a match in progress, barring some sort of urgent real-life matter.

I leave a match to do human things, like eat, drink, expel, or smoke, or if I am having one of those days where I am making nothing but stupid decisions in combat.  Superbad teams is one reason but I probably shouldn't even be in the match with that problem since I couldn't make that complaint with anyone at or near my level.  I'll stick around in matches where we're down a player unless there's less than 4 people in the room, including me, after others have left.  1v2 in any gamemode is balls unless my opponents are CRT-rocking victims of bad matchmaking; then I just go whole hog and make all 3 of us look bad.

Don't happen. Many people know me for being a gentleman, because

 

1. i sit out in matches if we have 1 more

2. i dont kill "feeders"

3. sometimes i take time to teach new players how the game works, movesets, how to use or engange againts some weapons (this happens in new player VS skilled player), but many skilled player likes it to hunt new players down to be the king with 40/0 for example, one of them is being known for being greedy

4. even if we have 1 man less, but we are winning with a great margin, because its somehow extremely uneven in terms of skills, iam also sitting out, but the enemy don't even listen and kill me as a spectator even if i stand around doing nothing wirting that iam not taking part in the game just watching

 

So, you could also say

 

1. i dont care to sit out, because almost noone is doing the same for me or my team

2. i kill the feeder, because the enemy would do the same

4. even if we have 1 more player and i have to deal with some egoistic player they think they are gods, iam going to kill them even if its unfair, because they would do the same including taunting and chatting with bad habits

 

So, because of my rules, i can understand, why most people dont care anymore for for being friendly, because most of the players are not, so what we need is a mechanic to deal with those problems and i solved that already in a thread and i think pubstomper wont like this.

 

And if a game is going to be one sided the matchmakingsystem have to take action aginst it (for example if we have something like 15-20 VS 0-5, the matchmaking have to mix the team again ind the middle of the fight to make it enjoyable for all).

If something comes up that needs my attention, I'll step out of a match. I'll also leave if I join a match about to end and the time it takes for it to end wouldn't be worth the reward for sticking around. I only have an extremely limited amount of time to play so I'd rather just look for a new game.

My reasons for leaving a match are as follows:

 

  1. Critical household chores that I forgot to do
  2. Phone call from a friend and/or dealer
  3. Candlejack
  4. When I have to go to the ba-

I leave in the middle of the match if:

My computer/internet Crashes

I die

 

That's it pretty much it. If you can't wait it out 15 minutes to try and get the game on track, you have issues. At least wait til the end of the round. The game can never try to balancing things if people leave 2 minutes after it becomes unbalanced, and just think of it as a challenge to better yourself.

Generally its something i have to do irl, chores or school, though usually if a server is always 3v4,ect several games in a row, im out, or if someone is in just to pub stomp then i get tired quickly

From most often to least:

1. Connection/computer craps out.

2. Real-life writes the plot.

3. Totally unbalanced numbers (1 vs 3, etc.)

4. No one connected on the enemy team side.

5. My (once) significant other complaining FAR too much about a pilot on the opposing team.

I leave if I have to do a number 1, 2 or sometimes even a 3 if I've had some good games.

In all seriousness though, the people who leave to join other games because its quicker need kicked in the balls. Like, one of those mean girly kicks that happens when she finds out you slept with her best friend kind of kicks ya know...

What if we just give some bacon paint, some bacon holo-emotes and change Bunker from snow to bacon.

 

This way, everyone will be happy.

What you should really do, is replace your parts with bacon, so you can cook games and eat bacon

Obviously the wallpaper would be cooler if bacon was incorporated into it.

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

 

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

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.
