So either the hotfix is still not in place (though mentioned months ago), or the leaver doesnt realize this / just wants to annoy people. | ||

 It's really quite lame though - maybe they should limit the number of ladder games you can join within a specific time limit? | ||

Who cares how other people play? This is not a bannable offense any more than 6pool/4gate/etc. and results in the same amount of high-pitched whining. Anyone "serious" about 4v4s (ha!) would play with a team anyway so why do you care if someone leaves the game? Because they get worthless pictures that make them look "better than they are"? Point the finger at Blizzard for putting the incentive there rather than cry about abusive players and try to ban them. Theres no nerd rage or hate, its a discussion on how it impacts others games. I care how other people play if they are part of my team. It's implicit in the type of game that all people should work together as a "team" - you know, hence the team game. People like this are ruining the experience of others and thats why Blizzard intend to fix it. **Edited out the bit about trolling. | ||

I'm sure blizzard realizes how much this irritates their customers, and probably has/will do something about it eventually. | ||

Allow me to expound on "fixes already implemented." Credit towards achievements/portraits will not be granted if the player leaves a team game before 240 game seconds (5:00). That is a fact. Also, players' status is set to "Busy" in the background after leaving a team game (until that game finishes) and since patch 1.1.2 this means they will not get achievement toasts - so no time is saved by leaving early because the game will not be credited if they join another game. So people who leave early are not gaining anything from this. On the other hand, since their resources will not be wasted on their own structures before units can be produced, the 3v4 is actually lopsided in favor of the 3 team. You can macro up a more powerful army quicker. How is this less fun, or "broken"? | ||

But if you are really high in diamond 2v2 sometimes people leave in order to get a ridicilous rush done that can hit before you are able to have viable defense out. | ||

I know a system is in place but where did you get these details of 240 seconds (gametime vs real time) and also them not being able to requeue? I have heard of the first but not the second. Do you have a Blizz post, post on testing this with data, or speculation? | ||

You can macro up a more powerful army quicker. How is this less fun, or "broken"? I'm trying to think of a reason why are you so condescending and ridiculing. Maybe you had to deal with too many rushes that involved players leaving the game to bypass the time limit and share resources faster? Obviously 4 player team is going to have easier time controlling units and can also share resources not that much later. What's more, the more inexperienced the (now) 3 player team is, the harder for them will be to use the additional resources they did not expect to have. They also have to spare their attention to defend the 4th base. The more they neglect it the more exposed it will be and the harder to defend because of that. You seriously can't see those downsides? | ||

"If I can't leave for 300 seconds, then I leave after 301 seconds" Better just do: leave = loss (and something if you actually played and got eliminated) | ||
