heydayhero.1230 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Not sure what is going on, but I had a nasty player sit in base afk'ing the whole game. I thought the loss rating on afk was fixed, and now another way around to screw a player that another may deem as their problem. I lost 15 rating points. When you have it skewed to continue number losses, with only 10 per win. Then the patch and shift in numbers. Is this not just a penalization of early ranked players, and a signal to those closest to ...; well you know. Should we all just stop playing once placement matches, and wait until the patch comes. Not sure if ANET really wants quality player in their environment. Maybe, they do just want that, show up at the start, place, then leave. Return halfway through to mayhem. Five years I have played this game to silently watch the dismantling of player quality, and environment. How are players suppose to want to play when now they have hackers, win-trading, and intentional fixing of others' ratings. I just can not for the life of me understand how you can let the players rule in such a way you will not fix it. YOU took our message panel to give a account of actions.A little clarity, and participation from ANET please.We need some method, or conversation to bring the community to another level before it just dies, but silence is where we are met. Pro-players are hiding behind a patch while the increase their friends stats through trading. Normal players are not able to do anything about it. Yet, and still quiet. Nothing heard, and many dismissed. Again, and Again. You want to call that fair, or persist in a toxic and corrosive community. Go ahead. I am sure any post under this will surmise some antiquated way of dismissing me. Go ahead. I like flames, I am here til it finishes burning.All and All, Tick-Tock.

Ario.8964 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 You only lost 15 for that? Lucky, I had a 30 rating loss (didn't know it was possible until this season) after an afk person who afk'ed while we were winning because he died once and we told him not to overextend (he ran into a 1v3 without waiting for some support) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heydayhero.1230 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 I got called out for protecting the lord from an engi. They said I was afk? Granted I was held up, but they would have closed out the game (Already over 350). Not sure, but it seemed more like "move, so my friend can get the win". There is a mini-map for a reason, and icons that show enemy when you are near one?The scoring needs a lot of work. This will not be an easy fix for them, but sitting on it will not help either.Funny, thing is rating scores will probably change after patch, and players will come back.

bladezero.9470 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 If you are losing alot of rating it's because you are losing to lower ranked players and teams than yourself. This could be happening because you placed much higher than you should have for your ability, other players have, or the player population is so low that your games are full of people from vastly different tiers.You can choose to believe whichever explanation that helps you get through your day.Sucks to have afkers and people who bring the team down though I agree.
