yep, there is a lot of discussion about here in TYM, regarding this subject .... people are using lagswitch or just pulling off their internet cables, in a very explicit and mean stupid way , in order to ensure "damage control" regarding their so precious (fake) online record in ranked tables, lol .....

that's why I valorize and admire offline tourneys as CEO (that its just about to happen today!), and despise online rankings in fighting games, hehe

I’m so close to the scarlet and scorpion skin. I need like 2 more daily challenges and a few more wins then I can go back to kasual where people quit the right way lol.

I've had a desync happen to me and I lost points... the match didn't even start yet I was like WTF.

Maybe it's only if they leave during the fatality, because I've had people quit during the game, that is, while they're getting mopped, and it still counts as a win for me and I get my points.

Yeah when I lose and see they are going for a fatality, I just leave and I've had people leave before they got caught in the fatality animation as well so I don't think its that. You've already lost your points because at that point the game registered your loss and me personally, I don't want to get caught up in the animation. Some fatalities take forever and I just want to move on to the next game. My video game time is precious lol

The decline threshold seriously needs to be changed to 100ms. This is dogshit.

Signed up to this site just to add to this thread.

This has been a serious problem since the beginning of Kombat League, and today I just experienced something even worse: NEGATIVE points for doing GOOD.

The first match I lost using one character. I changed to Shang. Managed to win the next match, one flawless victory, mercy, brutality. The third one the other guy one spamming using one move, one special, and I lost.

I then see he gets +50 points, and I get -32! How does a spammer get +50?

So now I'm getting negative points for not leaving a match, for managing to win with a different character, and I get ZERO POINTS if I lose when someone uses one character to spam win, even though I've used krushing blows, fatal blows, mercy's and fatalities? Who is making these rules up?

I'm on Warrior, have been playing every now and then since Kombat League started, and it looks like NRS doesn't really care about good players.

I'm getting -32 for winning, I get zero points for trying, the spammer gets +50, and people who rage quit get zero penalty and get to screw up my daily rewards.

As for the lag issue, I have no problem playing anyone with 150.

The people quitting aren't in that category. They're on cable and quit because I'm about to finish my flawless and get no credit for it thanks to them quitting.

The points are for a win/loss of a set, not for how or what you do in a match. Doesn't matter if you win 1 match by just uppercuts, jabs or a timeout, flawless, brutality, 20hit combos into a FB or whatever. If you lose 2 matches you lose the points.

I lost.

that's why you lost the points.

Thanks for writing this. Why wouldn't the MK11 developers make this obvious to people instead of having to figure it out?

This also means that there's no points given to beter players. Of course it should matter "what you do in a match". They want to call it a "Kombat League" but not give more points to better people who play the game better than another person?

If you lose 2 matches you lose the points.

Right. But that doesn't mean it's fair. Kombat League has alot of problems.

 

[theotherguy]

Because it is obvious? It shows you at the matchup screen what your points will be if you win or lose.

No, better players will win more, and therefore get more points.

So long as you get points for a won set and lose points for a loss there's no issue.

I've lost way too many matches to give a shit about the points. it's the losses that are more annoying, especially when you know it's because of something stupid that you fall for all the time.

 

[Reiko]

No, it is not "obvious" for a new person who has never played Kombat League to think that someone can win using stupid moves over and over again and get rewarded for it.

And why did you end your sentence with a question mark? End it with a period.

No, better players will win more, and therefore get more points.

No, "better players" will not win more. Players who figure out how to SPAM more get more points by winning more using SPAM. That's not "better", that's being a spammer, and no one likes a spammer.

So long as you get points for a won set and lose points for a loss there's no issue.

But that is NOT the way it works. You can WIN points for losing a set, and SOMETIMES you will lose points for losing.

I've lost way too many matches to give a shit about the points. it's the losses that are more annoying, especially when you know it's because of something stupid that you fall for all the time.

The points are what make you rank higher, which is what makes you get the rewards, which should be for players who use the characters better, not for spammers.

I've now played all 5 kombat leagues, and the same problems are still here as they were on the first day:

1. Too many spammers
2. People can disconnect right when you win and you will not get credit for completing a set, so you'll have to do another full set if you want rewards
3. There is still no penalty for spammers who get beat and rage quit
4. There is still no penalty for people who quit in the middle of a set
5. The requirements for the daily challenge is crazy: 5 sets a day? Make it 3 and that's fair.

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.

The fact that this post is from June and I still get people starting to DL porn shortly before losing, so the game disconnects them without punishment and having to play 150ms WIFI matches on the regular, makes me hella sad.

Yeah it’s kinda dumb man, what’s the point of being ranked in the league if you cheated to get it? Lol.

Even if there wasn’t rewards people would still do this, they have been doing it since mk9.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

This is no longer true. Every time someone disconnects against me, there’s a pause like the game is checking to see who is still connected to the server, and then I get a free win. Happened twice just a few days ago.

Only way it won’t is if it was actually your connection that was on the fritz as well.

If people want to hand themselves losses before the match, be my guest. But if your internet connection is solid you will get the W each time.

You can’t claim it not to be true when it is only your experience.

Me and the poster above have recently had this happen to us and got no points for it.

It’s obvious that these guys have found some sort of exploit because these twerps care about their points, no way a guy in God rank is gonna disconnect on the second round of the last set(when dude still has a 2 round chance to win the match)unless he could just be like “you know what? fukittttt.” And that’s exactly what happened cause I didn’t get the points lol.

I was also a grandmaster so he was gonna lose big time points.

Theres some weird shit on pc...ive run into guys whose win loss is like 50-1 and their chance to beat me is 1% (this already seems weird) and soon as we go to char select it desyncs. I have only met this kind of person like twice,but there obviously is some weird ass thing going on with that.

Also to the guy who was complaining about spamminng....u would hate me as if you have less than 10% chance to beat me I turn on record and I try to win the whole match using only combinations of d1/nutpunch/exnutpunch back into d1 np/d1 d1 d1 nutpunch/nutpunch kb dash d1 nutpunch.

I've quit in every single fatal screen (helps control the salt-o-meter) and it always counted as a defeat for me, and i'm pretty damn sure it counts as a win for them. Enemies have also quitted in the fatal screen, and i got the win every time. I think you only get robbed when they plug the cord, but pressing start and quitting always gives you a lose and the oponent a win. I'm not sure where all these complains come from anymore.

We are talking about them pulling the plug, the cord sign always flashes crazy and then funzo donezo

 

[theotherguy]

It is. It's only in the bottom rank where you get some points on a loss. I'm pretty certain after that especially once you hit level 2 (or maybe 3?), you will always lose points on a loss. The higher your opponent is the less you lose or the more you gain if you win against them.

which should be for players who use the characters better, not for spammers.

It is what it is. If you want top level play go to an offline tournament, or get a bunch of like minded mates together and play them. But when everyone under the sun has the opportunity to play KL you're going to get some people who won't play the way you want.

I've played some very, very good players and some will literally hit the same button or move over and over, which in my head is because they know it's working because i can't counter it, or that it's shitting me. A lot of the time i'll put my controller down and watch them do that till i'm dead. They're good enough that they don't need to do that; they're able to get in and knock me out with a 45% combo, but you know... if it works...

As much as that's part of the game, i'm not prepared to sit there blocking for a round while they get off doing DF1 ad nauseum. I don't even see where the fun is in doing that!?

I think you only get robbed when they plug the cord, but pressing start and quitting always gives you a lose and the oponent a win.

Pretty much this. The game should be able to see who's selected the quit menu option. If they can't detect that, then they've got bigger issues to deal with. If that happened, they get the loss. Only question mark should be cord pullers, and i believe they check to see who's still online and award them the points.

 

[Eldriken]

What I don't understand is why every single time someone presses Start/Options and quits via that that it isn't a Quitality. Y'know, that's kinda why they're there. Sometimes you get it and oftentimes you don't.

It's like the system (algorithms, servers, whatever it is) can't make heads or tails of it half the time and just says, "Fuck it. Y'all both lose."

 

[MKF30]

So that's how people cause the "legit" desyncs that cause no penalty to them but to you losing points and not getting credit for a set. Downloading shit or slowing your speed down? So lame... only reason I play this mode is for the gear, skin rewards. Which is a shame because nrs forces you to play modes in mk 11 you may not want to. They need to revert back to mk 9 and mk x where dont matter which modes you play. You eventually unlock k everything or give us the option to buy everything for like one time 25 or 30 buck charge. Shit I'd rather pay that then go thru the aggravation and be of KL.
