Why is there no punishment for premades who delay the game

Teridaxus · May 2018

Premades are annoying enough but for example when they have 4 relices in the first 3 minutes, they delay the game to it's full duration and if you leave you get a 15 minute leaver penalty.
And please spare with telling me to sit in the base. Not everyone can play 10 hours per day and i don't want to waste my gametime with sitting around afk.

Beat them to the sigil. Every class has major expedition, pots are available. Tab target and beat their weak players.
If what you say is actually happening, the game should be 8 v 4.
Since it’s impossible to get 4 relics in 3 minutes I’m assuming that what you report isn’t accurate.

They absolutely try to get perfect matches. It's why they do it.

I think the the best way to deal with premades is to get ur whole team and the opposing non premades team to sit at base and wait the timer out. Best way to punish them

There are no sigils in that game mode, only deathmatch.

There is always an incentive to kill as many players and make any boring game type a team deathmatch, therefore manipulating the game type to maximize time killing is often a strategy.

This will end when everyone is only que'ing for team deathmatch.

There's no punishment because the matches are designed to take up to the full duration. Just because someone is deliberately dragging out the time to full duration doesn't mean they aren't still playing the game within its intended design.

The only solutions are deal with it or take the penalty for leaving the match. The other team might be doing something annoying, but they arent breaking any rules.

This is one of three things you can do in a BG that will get me to send you a hate tell.

If youre pug stomping, don't drag it out... there's nothing cool about it, and you aren't getting extra AP for each kill...

(The other two, btw, are when you spawncamp a pug as a premade in deathmatch, and when someone uses the draining shot with no CC immunity exploit).

EDIT: OH But there is one situation where i actually do this..

If i'm in a premade and we're fighting two other premades in a CTR match, I'll message both of them beforehand and ask them if they want to treat the match as a deathmatch. They almost always say yes.

But if one of those 4 mans is a 3 man, and that 3 man gets a pug filling in that wants to go for relics... we will block that pug from capping so that we can continue our fights.

CTR is the best mode for deathmatch because there's no sigil.

Other than it is an inconvenience for you why should they be punished?

A legitimate reason is needed for something like that to occur.

Ah I misread and mixed sigils and relics up. My bad!

The healing penalty for carrying the Relic needs to start ticking earlier and needs to be more lethal after several minutes.

HeathenDeacon · May 2018

funny, this just happened to me twice tonight back to back.
Both games were chaosball they got like a 450 score then stopped trying to hold th ball and just went for kills til they finally had to pick it up to keep one of the other teams from winning after forever.
it was lame.

Fun fact - there are flags in “land grab” matches that need to be flipped, but there are no actual flags in “flag games” ... only relics and balls that need to be grabbed.
