Game abandoners in 2 v 2 - Jacog - 12-18-2012 03:52 PM
Started a 2 v 2 and the guy playing with me gives up on turn 5.... what is a man to do about this as it screws up rank bad with new point system not working right...

Should these guys guys get a week ban for this action or not?

While that is extremely frustrating, there is no way they will get banned for this kind of behavior. The best you can hope for is that OML decides to implement a way to keep playing even after your partner leaves the game (you will be able to take your partner's turns as if s/he were still playing). This is how it is done in Starcraft 2 when your ally leaves in a 2v2.
Until then, don't play random games? If I were you I would find a partner on the forums to play 2v2 with. I'm sure someone would be glad to play 2v2 arranged team games with you =)
By the way, this is the wrong forum. Next time you should go to the Outwitters forum if you are posting something pertaining to Outwitters.

i dont think they should get a ban. thats just one of the risks of playing 2v2 random.
if they implement a fix where the person who quits loses more points than their ally then it can be used as a loophole by players to lose less points if they are losing
i think combatex's suggestion on being able to continue the game if your partner quits is fine but it would no longer match with being 2 v2 random if youre playing both players.

I have never really understood the point of team games with asynchronous turns, as it seems just a tad overcomplicated.

Even though sometimes your partner may quit on you, the other half of the time the other team's partner quits on him. So it balances it out... though I know it's extremely infuriating when it happens.

I have had a couple cases where my partner in a random game never even played their first turn. In this case, I think the game shouldn't count.
