Dishonor system is flawed

we should not be penalized for leaving at the end of an RA match. a replacement will come anyway, so nobody suffers.

Similarly, if it gets rid of leavers at the START, im willing to wait the extra few seconds for the timer to run down.

There already are posts about this, why don't you check them?
Dishonor is fine for me. And not just for me.

i dont get what this is trying to say

what i meant was, if you feel like leaving for whatever reason (team not good enough, one guy has a noob build, you have a leecher/griefer but still won, etc), you should be allowed to do so at the end of a match, before the next one starts, without getting dishonor status.

So I will get -5 if I leave right after I won (while the msg "congratulation to blue/red team" pops) ?
Are you sure?

This is kind of a good point. Similarly, if you're on a really good run with some teammates but you need to leave for RL reasons, you should be able to leave at the end of the match. It's polite.

If your team not good enough?? GO TO TA

one guy has noob build?? GO TO TA

You have a leecher/griefer?? /report oh...and GO TO TA

This is RA not quit until you get a uber team. If you think you gotta have a team with a monk or rit or whatever then go to teams and form one

I actually think that the OP has a point. Ive reconsidered my position, it is a little unfair, that you will be punished for leaving even after you've won and just want to move on.

Sorry for contradicting you X Cytherea X, you do have a point.

I've gone to RA, had a few matches, and left at the end of a winning match before because of RL issues. It doesn't hurt anyone to leave after you've won, so I agree with the OP.

Agreed, the people that leave at the end are usually the people that don't like the team but at least have the decency to finish the match, those shouldn't be punished. They will be replaced by another person, so they don't NEED to be punished either.

After the OP cleared its position, I understand what he meant.
/signed for allowing quitting after the end of a match.
Or just put only 1 dishonor point to avoid people trying to circumvent RA randomness.
Don't know.
But leaving after match is finished is fair.
EDIT: It currently doesn't give you any dishonor to leave after the end of the match. I just tested it.

I didn't get -5 when I leave after I win.

Make sure wait for the msg (congrztulation to red/blue team...) pops then leave, you won't get any penalty. (no matter your team won or lost.)

o rly? O_o i could swear i got dishonored for leaving after a win once.....*runs off to test again*

EDIT: well, ManMadeGod was right, no penalty after Victory/Defeat message appears (i must have left when victory was imminent, seconds before the last enemy died)

my bad request /closethread
