SALTY Forcing a lag out so you don't take a loss on ranked

Misky

Clinch should be a command grab
Okay so I haven't seen anyone discussing this so I figured I'd make a thread to rant a little.

It would be one thing if it was one guy doing this but it's not; I've seen at least 3 individuals I could name off hand purposefully causing a game to lag out just before they lose so they don't take a loss on their record. A regularly quitality causes a loss but a lag out does not.
I'm not 100% sure how they're doing this and frankly I don't care but it's childish and stupid behavior, doing this to artificially stop them from receiving a loss. One guy even went so far as to be raging to me on microphone when I was kicking his ass, threatening a lag out if I didn't stop "spamming" (Which is apparently doing optimal combos) then on cue he was able to do it. This happened with this guy twice on mic with him threatening it and multiple times after without him saying a word. Like I said it's not one guy, this is a problem and it's hugely annoying to me.

Anyone else experience this? Is there a place I can report these people? I have video evidence as well.

I hate that we get forced into ranked games rather then accepting. I wish our ranked worked like marvels ranked or streetfighters

If you don't care, just ignore it and move on. Its ranked match, it doesn't mean dick. Move along.
ranked is pointless m8
Well you see I get that it's pointless but it takes away part of the fun and makes win loss ratios 100% more pointless than they were before. I mean I get it's just numbers and most people on ranked are scrubs but I enjoy collecting wins and these people just ruin that aspect of things for me. It's not something I'd cry over or anything but it does take away from the fun and annoy me now, especially when it's the same guys doing it and getting away with it. It's just scummy, scrubby and damn right sad tbh.
 

omooba

fear the moobs
the same way you say ranked is pointless is the same way you could say everything done for fun is pointless.

yes this happens to me, no i don't think u can report, yes i think lag out should count as a loss

im sure theres ways in which they can slow down the ping from their router/modem via certain devices or atlerations. That being said, why do you really care?

Oh and just to clarify when I said "frankly I don't care" I meant care about how they're doing it. I do care it's happening, it's annoying at the very least.

Well it ruins my fun really. I already touched on this a few messages ago but basically it's just really scummy behavior. They're doing it to increase their wins when they haven't earned them but the times where to do win (no matter how rare) I still take the loss. Then I imagine them sitting there all proud of themselves and it really pisses me off because of how much it has happened now.
Edit: Mostly it just takes away the satisfaction of a win while still leaving you with the annoyance of a loss.

I thought NRS already has a fix for this.. don't they run the "quitality" animation and record it as a loss anyway?

I get this a lot too and I care. Sure it's ranked but when you have someone yelling in your ear how bad you are then you beat them and it says game session no longer available and you fight him the best game and still same record!?? One guy in Xbox one named warhawk has a record like 160-6 I beat this guy more than six times. But he always forces a game lag out. I personally do care and would like to see him perma banned, or stats reset or even banned from ranked. It def bothers me. Don't play ranked if you're a noob lol. Also remember this game is about fatalities don't get mad if I want to kill you after we fight. I think it's amazing to be able to do after a match, and most of you take it for granted!

Unfortunately no. There is only a quitality if they actually quit but if the game lags out it doesn't count it as a victory or a loss, it's just as if it never happened and the loser gets a free pass. Some people seem to be taking advantage of this somehow, probably with some sort of software designed exactly for this purpose. I suspected it was being done by reseting the router or something but I've ran in to the same dudes immediately after a lag out so the router wouldn't have even had enough time to reboot yet.

Thank you! Yeah there should definitely be some kind of ban in place for this. So many bad players on ranked and the ones who are doing this get away with it without even taking a loss. Bad players should practice or just stick to player matches, the whole point of ranked is to play people who take the game seriously.
 
I dont understand why this bothers you. Its Ranked...one match. No matter who wins, that one win means absolutely nothing. Look how tournaments are set up: At least 2 out of 3 AND double elimination! Player matches with the option to rematch are much better IMO. What bothers me is when I run into someone in Player Match, they get lucky and win, talk shit, and then quit! If you only want to play one match against someone, you should stick to Ranked. But I just don't understand how someone could actually be proud of one win.

It's blatant abuse of the system and it's nothing short of cheating. They quit so they don't take a loss ergo I don't get the win, it takes away some of the satisfaction. I agree ranked should have a rematch option but ranked is supposed to be where you go to play the game seriously while player matches are meant to be more casual. People just seem to play ranked by default and player matches if they really like the match option.

I actually think it works the exact opposite. Playing one match per player is as casual as it gets! It's not competitive at all imo.
Well I agree that it's not working for sure but that is how it's supposed to work, that's what ranked is meant to be in any game. No idea why they took away the rematch option.
