A question about quitters...

[Killjoy McGee]

So with a new fighting game released comes new players as well as old ones and obviously quitting while a match is still in play will happen but I have noticed something with this new MKX and how it handles quitters.

First we have the quitalitys, which is when someone quits mid match the victor is treated to a delightful explosion of their opponents head and a win under the belt. This is certainly just punishment for the opponent although others may not feel the same way (that's cool I guess)

However I recently noticed that people can quit when the match has ended (so when the victor is prompted to finish their opponent) the opponent can quit but the fatality will still go on as planned (neat!)

So my question is this: what is the community stance on quitters now with these features? Are we satisfied? Are we not? Or do we just not care?

i just laugh whenever someone quits. even if i get credited with a loss. never cared about my record online. its pretty much always terrible because i can't react to things, can't anti air properly or get my combos. with mkx i quit playing online almost completely

 

[WraithLord]

Game is out for a week > "I quit playing online completely".

Fair enough, I suppose if you play in tourneys and such it would make more sense to play offline regularly rather than online

I honestly don't care. If I play against randoms I quit all the time if the connection is poop. If I can't anti air or cancel a string then I usually quit. You aren't going to get better in those conditions. Input lag is the worst. When I come across a good connection I add that person to my list immediately.

well i mean if you have a couple of friends that play offline its better than playing online. before i started going to tournaments i played online a lot. quitters still didnt matter to me

Fair enough, I suppose at the end of the day it's a game after all

I think its a creative way to go about it. Makes me feel good.

I agree! it eliminates the need for me to be salty about them being salty!

well end of the day i dont really care if i win or lose unless there is money involved. im pretty much always having fun even if im getting my ass whooped

 

[BookBurning]

I don't care and don't know why anyone would care. If the person quit then you got your win anyways and they conceded, right?

I mean, if it's laggy or whatever and they quit then I understand why they did and if it's not, then they conceded a win.

I can see that from the profile pic haha.

if the game is laggy or you have no chance then let yourself lose and end the match. no since disconnecting during a fatality or a certain screen. this is how people I think are getting around Quitalities I believe.

True, it is early days and my personal online experience has been filled with lag so I can't blame them for leaving if its really laggy

i gotta make it the egyptian hot dog from final round. this pic is liek 2 years old lol

Yeah I think I saw you wear that on The Break once as well lol.

 

[iMileena]

Yes now we can tbag to our hearts content

 

[Vilén]

Voted "don't care." The only thing that matters is that if someone quits it's a loss for them and a win for you. Beyond that, eh. Really who cares?

 

[LaidbackOne]

Who cares. Online is shitty anyway so its only there to gain matchup experience. Couldnt care less about online stats.

 

[Lumpymoomilk]

I have never gotten a quitality even though I have had people leave or "disconnect" just as they are close to losing, on the other hand I had a message from someone yesterday saying "thanks for the quitality loser jaja" even though it said I was dropped for the server. Not sure how people are or are not leaving to make them happen. Either way, does it matter, quitters punish themselves by having constipation for being so uptight in the ass about a video game.

 

[Charybdis]

I had one guy ragequit on me, quitality and all and then he repeatedly spammed my inbox with 'LMAO'. About 9 times. Bizarre

 

[Invincible Salads]

don't care really, quit all ya want if it makes you feel better lol.

me losing either gets me really motivated or really put off depending what it is.

 

[Zyos]

Honestly if im in a match and their connection is trash i will quit winning or losing i quit, i could care less about my record and with the limited ammount of time i have to play i cant level up under those conditions.

My favorite part is getting messages after I leave a laggy game and the guy messages me talking shit lol

 

[Shanedawg1995]

I here these players Say"Online Who Cares about online"If it was not for online some good players would not be able to compete.I love online because that all I got because I dont live in a big city.Sorry to get off the subject love the quitialtys especially when I get a flawless one lol.Look at MYGOD88 EVO top 8 he was exclusively online player,so dont go bashing on line players because that all some players have competitively.

I don't think it even helps with match up experience. Some unsafe strings are safe online and might trick someone into thinking they're unpunishable.
Jesus I can't even tell you how many times I got away with a blocked catdash after continuously mashing d1. Now that I think of it, it brings tears to my eyes :') hahaha
