invalid Almost finished matches

[Pepsi_Man 77]

I'm fine with being placed in a match that has 3 minutes left;

I'm fine with being placed in a losing team that can make a comeback;

But I am not fine with being placed in a battle that has 30 seconds left or overwhelming score disparity (6-1 in TJGR), even if my team won (wich it didn't).

 

(Even worse for the last guy, he loaded the match for nothing)

Those matches could be locked from the MM system, since they are going to end soon. I don't know how hard this would be to implement, but seems rather simple.

I'm not mad, but anoyed at how many times this has happened, and since html5 is not the most stable thing yet, and flash has some loading problems, this makes me need to restart the game a lot of times.

Valid

Sounds more like a complain to me, whats the idea here? to have the game develop a system that locks MM battles (no more players join) after a time limit is it?

I have a proposed solution to the blowout problem. What I've seen is that in blowout matches, people who join, see the battle is 3-0 etc, and leave...I do.

My solution: Give extra slots to the losing team. For example, in ctf or rugby, if one team gets up 3-0, flood the losing team with players until it has maybe 10. Give the defending team more players so they can perhaps balance the game OR comeback.

Pros:

The winning team has more enemies to kill, if they are in fact still a superior force.

The losing team will get targeted less often, given more players who are getting attacked.

New players will be less likely to leave if they see their team is full.

Keeping a team at 8 is easier if you are topping it off at 10...even if 2 players leave, its still at "full strength" of 8 players.

Yeah, that's it. I just gave a more "general" approach to see what other people say. I actually feared for it being confused as a simple complain because it's such a huge thing with a small solution, so thanks for placing it under review, and not merging it to the complaint book.

Status changed to valid.

I think this is actually completed. I noticed lately that if you're down a player and there isn't much time left or the score difference is great, no more players join your team.
