I never played CS:GO competitively because I know I suck. Can you back out of those matches? It sucks getting stuck playing 3v1 because teammates don't think they can come back down 2-0.

Not without a ban that get's longer each time you do it. And CSGO matches go for 30min plus most of time.

i think the thing that strikes me most is how easy it is to quit in the first place. Maybe disable the quit option in ranked, and less people will. If people would rather idle than just play, well, 'that' can be the natural penalty.
I do think penalising quitters but leaving alone players looking to actively score own goals, go in circles or just be a dick is wrong.

Ugh, getting all kinds of lag and disconnections tonight.
Same. It's hilarious watching the AI steamroll entire human teams.

I still want to know how they can penalize this without encouraging people to stick around but not play.
It's just as easy for the quitter to put the controller down and go get a drink as it is to quit.
In ranked play it serves the same purpose. In unranked it's even worse than quitting.
And I'm not sure this is something they can detect or penalize. I'm afraid they might just be making a bad situation worse. Especially as I've already seen the "but I don't quit!" people doing this.

Just started playing this (ps4) and it is damn fun. So exciting when you score. Those AI players are hardcore though, they should dumb them down a bit.
Well, if your car doesn't move you get booted anyway. So that's those.
And if you're just going to drive in circles I don't see why you'd not then bother trying to play.
The issue is that people quit when they are losing, then go into another game an do the same thing. The penalty will hopefully be something that prohibits them from doing it too often, likely by having a timer so that they can't play ranked again within a certain time if they've been kicked due to being stationary, or if they've pressed the quit button more than say, 2 times in 20 minutes.
I refuse to believe that they can't see the stats on people who quit and people who get disconnected. Or that if they can't see it now, they can't add in the ability to track it.

Rubber band on controller and go get a drink or something.
Timing people out for quitting only creates new problems.

You only get booted for not moving after quite a bit of time. Multiple times now I've seen the guy who moves like 1 seconds worth of distance every 30 seconds.

You get booted if you stay idle. And if the player is just going to move in a circle to avoid that, don't you think they'd just play the game in that case?
Maybe a more ideal solution would be to match quitters with quitters. Probably way too complicated to implement, and maybe it would ruin matchmaking. I dont know

I hope they don't add a penalty to quitting in 1v1.

Selecting quit from the start menu should be all they need to look at. And then prevent people from jumping back into match making for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and then an hour if it's done repeatedly. If someone wants to idle, give them the same penalty if no game inputs are pressed for 20 seconds or something. If someone idles for a set period in a match, kick 'em out at the *end* of it, and give them the same matchmaking penalty.
I imagine if people are forced to stick around for 2 minutes and lose, rather than be stuck at the main menu for 5, they might actually stop crying for a moment and pick the controller up.
Granted, policing the dregs of the internet is an impossible task. But at the very least, you can improve it slightly for those of us who aren't assholes. *shrug*
Erm, why not? All you're doing at that point is forcing the other guy to go through the matchmaking process again.

Match quitters with other quitters then. That's probably most appropriate, but I doubt it will be implemented.

agreed i dont like playing 3v3 solo bc the game can get ruined so quickly

There is no way to completely remove trolling from things like this. This is more of a "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" situation. Control for the easiest, shittiest behaviour to control for, and take it from there.

Booooo.
Quitting in 1v1 is just as bad and I have little tolerance for it. I don't care how badly you're getting beat. Turn the game around or suck it up and try to understand why you're getting beat so bad. Take your loss like a man.
Icyflamez96

It only hurts yourself and helps the other person. It's not like you're letting a team down.
Some of my favorite moments with this game so far is smoking people so hard in the first 2 minutes that they ragequit. I don't want that discouraged. I care about ragequits in any other mode, but for 1v1s? Personally, no.
I like how you automatically make the assumption that i'm the one who loves to ragequit in 1v1. For understandable reasons of course.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Games being over like that just piss me off. Especially when it aint even that bad. Like, you're gonna quit after just 2 or 3 goals? You cant come back from that? Really?
After Kronovi scores 2 goals on me, I think I know if I can't score back.
ColonelSkills

Can't say I agree, but different strokes I guess. I'd rather squish a dude 12-0 in 5 minutes than 4-0 in 1.5.
I'm more annoyed by having to spend more downtime searching, personally.

I'd pay good money to play 1v1 with Kronovi. I don't care how badly I get beat. It would be a great learning experience for sure.

I find playing a match (1v1s in particular) where i'm blowing the person out the whole 5 minutes to be boring and unexciting since they usually seem to barely know how to play. I almost dread it when they don't just quit (most of the time they do though)
On the reverse side, I do enjoy trying to take a match from behind.

Multiple people now have said "If they have to drive in circles, wouldn't they keep playing?" or something similar.
I point out again that I'm not posting a theoretical. I have seen multiple people now who drive for a fraction of a second every 30 seconds or so, and do nothing else.
I have no idea whatsoever why they are doing what they are doing, although one of them actually said "I'm not a quitter" in chat. Yeah, because what you are doing is so much better than quitting.

They can't exactly stop all shitty behavior but a shit ton more people would just play on rather than drive around in circles if there is a penalty.

More like I'll take a great rebound, hut a longshot, and somebody will full boost past me and tap it at the last second to get the goal.

I probably had my best online match today. I scored three goals, two of them in the first minute. You would think that would be enough for a win, but no. One player on the other team scored six goals. He just couldn't be stopped. Even when someone was in the goal to try and stop him. We lost 6-4.
Also maybe they are just chasing the ball down to try and make sure its not cleared off the line?
Birgitte2004
Member
Yeah, because the people quitting right now are real "Don't give up folks", right?
Do you seriously believe online games aren't plagued with people going through the motions because it's easier than trying on a "Lost Cause"?
If so you are far more optimistic than I am.
And what's worse, in unranked this is worse than quitters. I'd rather have a bot than a guy going through the motions.

I don't think they will be punishing anyone in unranked matches. They either have a choice of penalizing people who quit ranked matches or not. It's obvious not penalizing isn't working,
I got matched with two randoms yesterday for one game. Turns out, we had seriously good chemistry and we played together as a team for a couple of games in a row and dominated other Semi-Pro :O I saved a few replays so I can look up their user names later to add on Steam. However, the replay names is kind of different from their actual user name so I cannot find them. Very odd 
If you do ranked and your skillpoints in that particular category exceeds 500 the icon next to it changes from bronze to silver. If you then drop below 500 it changes back to bronze.

I just do t get why people quit in the first place. Game is fun to me even when I'm getting curbstomped
It's happening to me more recently, just now actually and I stopped playing Ranked because of it, is because of dropped players. I might have done it to others as the game will outright crash upon loading into the new round often. Waiting for the next patch, probably the one after it as well before I jump back in.

Got an aerial today where I flew across 3/4 map to nail the rebound! It was pretty much my greatest goal to date... I'll upload it some day but damn I felt like a boss!

I was playing with two friends today (semipro and pro rank) who both had no idea that you get a boost from that.

I've begun to believe that first touch is a curse. I hit it, then the next hit rebounds it to my side of the field. Either that or it just shoots straight up.

About to play for an hour or two. My PSN ID is Optimus_Prime if anyone wants to play ranked doubles or unranked standard. I'm up to 500 on standard and am now working on doubles.
I haven't tried it yet, but we can create a party of two to play ranked doubles, right? I think I heard they're adding ranked team 3v3 soon.
