You can tell from the chat between Artosis and SLush, that Slush knew he lost but he still wanted to rematch. The danger is that if you give Artosis the win there, people are going to start DCing when they sense they have a pretty good lead so they dont have to risk finishing the game off, and then arguing "just give me the win like you did with Artosis, I was ahead anyways". Its just going to be a bad precedent to set. | ||

So if you're afraid of people playing to the point where the other person is about to say gg but they purposely disconnect... | ||

you cant put it like that, and i really dont think people would start doing that. On the note " even though they will make a new thread for this at some point " Artosis had that game 100% there was no way AT all that slush could come back from that, none what so ever. | ||

Its just going to be a bad precedent to set. Only if judges/admins are gullible. Seriously, if you have a huge, gigantic lead required to be awarded a win if YOU dc, then you're going to lock up the win regardless of the disc. Having 2 sets of discing rules whether the person who is ahead or behind discs isn't a terrible idea. Like, if there is a legitimate chance of a small comeback, then by all means do a regame. I think most people agree on this if slush had ANY shot. But in this case, there simply wasn't any shot. Not just a large advantage. The game was over. edit: Other thread was closed about it so I wont respond on this topic again. My b. | ||

Its just going to be a bad precedent to set. This is why the TOURNEY ADMINS did not necessarily make the worst decision. It was Slush who should have taken the honorable route and conceded his loss. | ||

So if you're afraid of people playing to the point where the other person is about to say gg but they purposely disconnect... My thoughts exactly. People arguing this are attacking a strawman rather than what actually happened. | ||

Or alternatively, develop a smooth way to autosave or be able to play from a replay game-state. Developing these sort of features would be much more welcome than this integrating Facebook crap they're doing. | ||

The server structure is different than HoNs. However they have had the ability to save a game previously so that isn't too far stretched. | ||

Is it possible he still THOUGHT he had a chance? That's really all that matters. If he did, then it is clearly up to the admins. | ||

I spoke to slush immediately after the D/C (before Artosis even logged back on), and he clearly felt as if he had a chance. Obviously he was biased and lacking complete information at the time, but I don't necessarily think that's a reason to demonize the guy. | ||

Although it's possible the part of the engine that handles replays is just fundamentally badly coded, since they can't even get multiple people watching a replay. | ||

Who knows ^^ i doubt slush will come on the forums and state that he 100% thought that he could still win and if he did, he could still have watched the replay and then im sure he could see that there was no chance in hell. | ||

If they allow reconnecting, what happens if the players never connects back? You have to wait 5 minute before they get dropped before taking the win? No thanks. It just delays things to much. It also has to do with the fact that Battle.net2.0 is P2P while HoN is a server based game. B-net 2.0 isn't p2p, HoN's server structure isn't viable in games with large amounts of actors going on in game, there's too much going on for it to be stored server side and pulled up on demand. imo, I agree with the admin decision. Almost all high level games DQ you if you DC, so a rematch if you're winning, yes, winning with a very big advantage, a RM is fair. | ||

And my suggestions were more directed towards custom games or 2v2/3v3/4v4 games where they would be more practical. | ||
