Penalties for Cowardice

[blutakix 81]

Tanki keeps adding a lot of features of dubious value.  But here's one I think all real players can agree on:  When you're in a battle and the cowards on your side all quit leaving you to fight 4 v 1 or 5 v 1, it really sucks.  Even if they're crappy players, they can at least be targets for the enemy so they aren't all shooting at YOU!

 

So how do you keep cowards in the game?

 

Penalize them.  Fine them 100 crystals and 100 experience points for bailing early.

 

Now I know there are legitimate reasons for leaving a battle - so don't penalize them for every early departure.  Let them leave for free a couple times a week, and any time their team is ahead.  But after a couple times, if they're running for the door every time they perceive their team might lose, they should pay for ruining the game for everyone else.

 

Anyone disagree?

Anyone disagree?

Yes I do.

[TheGoldenTanker 4,951]

I mean, if you had an extremely poor (and might I say) "noob" team, wouldn't you want to head for the hills, find a new battle and get the most maxium crystals as you can?

 

I know I would.

 

And I'm sure many others would as well.

 

Like, why settle for minimum crystals with a poor team when you can get maximum crystals with a good team?

 

Think about it for a moment..

Woooo great idea!! But not that 100 crystals fine, just 20. But agree!!

[Gigalink 116]

Trust me, I hate it when ppl leave when you think your team has a chance, but at the same time, if I feel like I'm wasting time, fighting a battle that is basically lost, giving too many crystals to my enemy instead of myself, there's no good rational reason for me to stay. In fact, I want the weaker players to leave in hopes that some stronger ones replace them in some games.

what about lagging out? what about having to get off and do something, what about if your in a 5 v 1 and your the 1? sorry, but if a team is getting smashed, im not staying to get smashed, and an experance and cry penalty? please.

[xX22JUSTIN22Xx 19]

exactly Gigalink

what a HORRIBLE idea. Most games these days are one sided, even when both teams are full. If I am on the losing team and I leave, it is not because I am a coward, it is because I am having no fun and also not earning crystals.

Daamn feel the hate xd

          Disagree on current circumstances of how battles are played and is interesting to see a such an idea from a middle rank. Specially where players trying to play xp/bp battles before they are m2-m3 and try to get together on a Sandbox CTF, until a heavy hull joins, spoil their fun and they have to quit. Or in a drug battle where players quit because they are overwhelmed by the opposite team drugging habbit. etc.

         

          Eventually number of battles and quit battles before they reach 0:00 or other form of end battle could be displayed in players profile, altough I don't know what would be usful for, maybe just as useful as the current displayed overall K/D that says nothing about how good or bad a player is.

 

          I think the early battle termination recent update is meant to attempt to support players from your point of view as well as decrease complaints about lag, etc.

Like CS GO competive?

That would be cool but then again you would choose if you want to play competive.
