Kombat League rage quits have no penalty

Because NRS is ass backwards. This is the company that promoted a game based on custom move sets only to tell players at the very last minute “btw half the moves can’t be used in ranked / tournament mode lol”.

Think of the time, effort and money NRS has spent on shit like the Augment system and gear that can hardly be seen in game ... yet they just ignore shit like rage quitting screwing the winner, and forcing you into bad WiFi matches.

But hey at least we can look forward to some more Kombat Kasts where we get birthday shout outs , updates on the mobile game and stupid fucking belt battles.
I don't watch the Kombat Kasts anymore. Nor should anyone really. The only way to force NRS's hand is to not play the game and not tune into their broadcasts. But doubtful enough people will do that.

This happened to me the other day. Go into KL, first guy quits just before the end of the game, I get a quitality animation. Go to next match and realize I never get awarded the win. I lose the next two games, go into another match, and my record is still identical to when I started the day. After this fourth match, the loses finally totalled correctly, however, I never ended up getting my win for that first quitality. This was on PS4.
At least u got a Quitality animation. I just got a glitch in the matrix...
 
As far as I know it gives the loss to the quitter and the win to the other guy, but I'm on PS4. Maybe this is a PC thing. I even tested this out by quitting before the match even started when it forced me to play with a WiFi player with 147 ping (which ends up being 300 mid match.) I refuse to play against that bs. NRS needs to let players filter out WiFi connections. I've lost lots of matches due to dropped combos etc because the other players connection starts lagging so bad I can barely move.
I'd rather get bodied by a wired connection player who is good, then play against a WiFi player who hops and teleports all over the screen and is impossible to AA due to lag.

My tech against that is to quit before the match starts. I don't even care about my record anymore. Just let me filter out that crap.
ive done that a couple times too. my KL record isnt very good but my rank is decent because i can beat the solid players of higher ranks. i just lose to the nonsensical online play

I made a status about this just the other day (I'm on PS4, btw) and I kept checking for an hour and never got the win. Not only did I not get the win, and no points, but as far as my online win % goes, it acknowledged that a set was played, but that I did not win it so it fucked with my ratio. I went from 70% to like 62% from 2 rage quits within the same 30 min time frame.

Yeah I had a Scorpion and an Erron Black either pull their cable or altF4 (I dunno if doing that will do the same thing as pulling the cable in this), and I didn't get anything from the set. I beat them with Kano too, with no real combos.
:DOGE

I noticed later on when I fulfilled my 5 ranked sets for the daily challenge thing, it didn't seem to count it...so I'm at 4/10 still. So I don't think that always works correctly.

Had it happen to me 3 times today. I did 5 sets for the daily challenge and I'm only at 2/5 for the day because of 3 ragequits. Waiting a bit and it never updated itself. Shame NRS.

The funny thing is it's always these tryhard asshats who do this then when they DO barely beat you(always the Scorpion, Geras and Black players), have the balls to teabag you. Scrubs...I've also noticed if they quit normally, you'll get the win including rage quitting, leaving early etc but if you get a desync error that means they killed their internet or did something fishy because those I had done to me 5 times and all 5 times did not get the win I should have.

I just made a profile post about this and glad I found everyone here having the same issue. I just a hard competitive fight against Kitana, beat the player.. didn't go for the fatality due to respect of a great match....then Boom Plyer quit and no points for me. Now I'm still left with nothing that was supposed to be my safety net of points for my new rank as GrandMaster. So now I wish I did fatality him since he screwed me of points.

I sit with my ethernet cable across my lap, and the moment the match goes south for me, I cut the cable. With scissors. It's called a rage cut. I then go to office depot and buy a new 75-foot cable, hook it up, and wait for the next Erron Black player, scissors in hand.

Small price to pay for depriving you of that sweet W!

In all seriousness though, why does anyone really care? I usually quit when I see I'm gonna lose. For many reason's.
  • waiting to connect is bad enough. I dont need to watch this fatal blow and a fatality too
  • there is literally no reason to stick around because there is no option to rematch
  • im here to get matchup experience, not to get meaningless high scores. I gain nothing by sitting around for 15 more seconds just to finally hit "find next opponent
  • i dont care about your score. If quitting deprives you of a win, then thats on NRS to fix. As 16 Bit would say, "Not my problem."

I don’t think some of you guys are understanding what’s happening. This isn’t an issue of someone quitting it’s when people completely pull their internet and dc last second.

If you get the message “the opponent has left the game” you get the win because all they did was leave early. But when you get the orange symbol and the game freaks out and it says” the game session is no longer available” or something along those line you get robbed because they literally pulled their internet. I lost a 12 game streak because someone who I had already beat pulled their internet last second and I got the loss for it.
Quoting for accuracy. This is what happens when you either don't get the win and the points (almost every time), or you actually receive a loss (less common). You get the win when people quit, not when they pull.

Was just playing this guy who was Demi-God and at risk for demotion. So he picks Geras, I zone him out with Cetrion, dominating both rounds. He switches to Sonya, a bit closer but I win decisively. It goes "finish him" and then there's the yellow icon flashing at the bottom and like a 5 second hard lag. It stabilized and I JK to end it. Go to next opponent and my points and win ratio are EXACTLY the same. No win, no points. I turned off PS4 to see if it would pop up, ate a snack, turned it back on, and nope exactly the same. It's painfully obvious this guy pulled at the last minute so he wouldn't get demoted. This is bogus as hell and has happened about 20-25 times to me in similar ways.

At this point I'm over it. I like the concept, I'm glad some people out there don't get pulled on as much, but yea, I'm over it. Private matches and Versus is just fine for this game anyway.

Go over there!
It always amazed me how far fighting games have been behind other genres on dealing with rage quitters. It wasn’t all that long ago that rage quitting (as recently as KI’s initial launch) had no penalty associated with it. Meanwhile RTS and FPS games figured that stuff out a decade earlier.

NRS will learn how to fix this eventually. Until then, I’m not touching KL.

I WILL EAT THIS GAME
I mopped some wifi Liu Kang 3 rounds in a row and listen to him giggle as he said "but guess what, f@6&%t, check my disconnect power, nobody wins here," and took my win with him shamelessly.

At this point I don't even feel slightly bad shitting on the ever-growing list of things that have gone terribly wrong with this game. I LOVE Kabal, enough that I've been playing and labbing and fighting on a regular basis for the first time in YEARS, but my gods on high the level of botches is getting obscene.

Also, I've played about 30 matches of KL and at least 25 of them have been wifi, and I feel like they didn't give us the option to decline non-LAN connections because the number of actual matches played would fucking plummet.

Also also, it's depressing how many people are playing Searing Rage because they want the Scorpion dirt without having to think hard enough to do telecancels, and then immediately stop trying or forfeit the moment they see I know how to block and punish B14 and the Spear gimmicks.

The push for this game to be casual candy is real.

Kombat league is a joke. How’s the matchmaking still fucked when there’s rnks
 
Go to next opponent and my points and win ratio are EXACTLY the same. No win, no points.
this online plague on KL will never end, because these shitholes think that an online ranking system worths some major value as competition
So if it's not worth anything what's the big deal if you don't get that extra +1 on your wins?

I agree that people that DC should be penalised, but there seems to be a lot of angst for something that apparently has no worth.

I'm glad I won't play KL. I want KL full only of pro players, and the scrubs to be left out.
You were always going to be disappointed if you ever thought that was what it was going to be.

It was never meant to be any sort of pro level thing. It's nothing more than a way of giving players something to reach for by going up the ranks instead of just a place on a leaderboard.

I quit every match before fatality and I should get the loss for it. Haven't seen if it does or not. Dont care about ratios,
Same here, i'll quit at the finish him screen 90% of the time if it's a lost set. For no reason other than i don't want to wait to see a fatality for the 100th time, or people stuffing about trying to do one or just being dicks.

When it says "Your opponent has left the game" the points will count. Otherwise, even when the final game screen shows the points being given to you, it won't count. I got a clip of that happening from earlier today.

@colt @16 Bit @Dizzy

As you can see, the final match screen showed I ranked up to God tier with 4569 points, but when I got sent back to the main screen I was still at Demi-God with 4469 points.
 
this .... even casual seems more fun, with no compromise on it .... this online plague on KL will never end, because these shitholes think that an online ranking system worths some major value as competition .... and do any kind of filthy strategy to keep their false faked record protected from real loses, lol :p

KL does not worth your time, if you seek for serious competition ..... people who are losers in real life and play MK11 with this "never losing no matter what" philosophy , and so, justify themselves doing the "plug the fuck cable out" dirty move , will fuck up this mode more and more, wait and see ! :mad:
For some of us playing casual (it could even be called unranked mode) just has no purpose. I literally don't give a damn about a game about beating other people online that doesn't have a ladder/ranked system. If I'm playing on the couch with friends than yea, sure but online? I wouldn't spend an hour in a competitive game if not for actually competing. The mindset is different (sure to the point where it gets ridiculous and people pull their cables to keep their points) but, to use your words, the lack of compromise of playing casual just feels like a waste of time. I literally play much worse on casual because I don't care and there's nothing at stake.

That's why I hope NRS get their shit together and fix these problems.
