twitch lags

i just wanted to finally win. oh wells

U did win tho

it didnt give me the win tho =,( its like the game never happened

U won tho. Just cause some computer software didnt flag it as so doesn't make it any less real imo :)

As far as it being appropriate, probably not. But its a minor thing in reality

r u high

Probably. But he's still right.

standard twitch. rages a lot.

yeah, he's kind of a bitch :/

stats kill the game

Not really true imho.
The ability to affect your own stats might though.
Losing isn't bad, but if you lose while you have the option to not lose.... well that changes matters doesn't it?

Very good point, you're both right, stats kill the game, but in the case you mentioned.

Do we want to fix it? Can we fix it?

make an abort for a game only available as a vote and not forced by the server-owner?

yeah

or make it so not every random game goes towards your elo. have a ladder system like sc2 in which if u join a ladder game u dont get to pull shenanigans.

It's only acceptable in duel if both players agreed beforehand that they will abort the match no matter the outcome IMO.

TBH the one in the lead has the responsibility to abort if he sees that the opposing person obviously can't play properly for whatever reason.

Even if my opponent just starts raging and rocketing himself on purpose, depending why and who he is, I've sometimes aborted.

That and agreeing beforehand yeah

I was in a match like that vs krid the other day.. 2 minutes in and 10-0 on sinister with me just rolling him.. a throw away game really. Then I get pmed that my #natdm.ql pickup filled up and im needed in that server, so i asked him to abort. He said Negative. I left the server and lost my precious ELO :(
Thats one situation but its w.e. im not gonna make an esr thread over it :D

You sure as heck made an esr post over it.

was waiting for that :D

This is not a thread. Its my journal!

yeah but leaving for another game is a personal decision, which i wouldn't really consider abortable (although for reasonable, nice people, they still would/should abort in that situation).

Hey Higgs - I misunderstood when you said "You can abort". I thought you meant
"Damn you suck, you can abort" Really My bad, I would have aborted and I didnt mean to swipe any of your elo. Come play again and Ill let you roll me a few more times and gain those points back <3

it was "Can you abort?" ..!

I thought it was out of character, now i see it was just a misunderstanding :D

It's all good!

what about with a lagout/999? especially if the player that lags out is clearly winning/going to win? would be rude to let them get disconnected and take the win when the other player clearly deserved it.

What if you abort and then it turns out his 999 is over and he's back without a disconnection?

then you talk about it and decide if it's fair for you (the losing player) to forfeit in a quick "just for the forfeit" game so that the lagout player can get the win they had coming. although in that case, i'd guess the winning player is probably a lot better, and therefore the elo gain from a forfeit like that will be relatively inconsequential.

"Hey, what happened?"

:^))

When it was rape.

Yeah twitch is a rager, no surprise.

are you serious?\o/

Expert opinion.

Sorry to say, but this is standard Twitch.

Twitch rages at players, no matter what. He's a huge ELO whore, he aborted because he saw your ELO was lower than his 1800 ELO-padded shit.

Avg. Win Opponent Elo 1286

lul

This metric is pretty bad at showing improvement. I'm not saying twitch improved though : idk.

i used to abort and kick players whos playstyles i didnt like!

then agian i played 1v1 ca and i was winning when i kicked them

so how do you practise your gameplay, against better playstyles?

ha?

i just presume you kick those whose playstyles you cant counter.

and i was winning when i kicked them

at least most of the time hehehe

when you want to.

Never.
Ever.
Give up.


Unless.

Abandon all hope, ye who face the mighty TP.

If the other person consents to it as well.

I don't really mind aborts per say. I don't play for elo, I play to improve and have fun.

Putting people into spec, that's not cool and guess what I do to people who don't want to be cool?

If he really had lag spikes why should he continue?
To get killed?
That he didnt tell you BEFORE abort is another matter entirely. But its his circus and his monkeys.

But I heard about Twitch being such a big elowhore and Quake Gollum. You impressed me for sticking around for so long lol.

I stand up for my right and hereby declared freedom to abort anything I want and have the power to do so without harming others. Anytime.
