Player abuse

Okay so I want to quickly get this out there before the new Havoc changes are implemented.

This topic was posted here today: Reportable behaviour?
And it got me thinking about how my “solution” to griefing has always been to just leave and requeue.

Well, we now have a problem. Havoc now has the rule that if the match fails, everyone loses 1 attempt (of three). Its quite easy to see how this will be abused by players to “get back at people”, or just to annoy others.

In the example I provided, a Daemonhost was being weaponized to ruin the game. What if that happens in Havoc? What course of action should someone take? Just leave? Try to kick? What if the person has a friend with them, and they refuse to kick?

What if the person instead decides to just quit at a crucial moment? We have no way to find another player, so that person has ruined a match, deranked people, and it cost them nothing to do.

Its clearly an issue.
