People saying this type of argument smh.. your time is NOT more valuable than others'. Such an arrogant mindset. Also, try 30~45 minutes. If you think getting dodged only costs other people 1~2 mins.. Idk what game you've been playing.Expecting people to "compromise" on how they spend their leisure time is not a winning strategy in the long run.
We are not all 19 years old with unlimited free time. If I have time to play 1-2 games a day, I'm going to play the map I prefer. I'm sorry if that costs you a minute or two in the queue but I have a feeling you'll be OK.
FTR I'm talking strictly about 1v1 queue here, not TGs.
The pro alt+f4ers have the same argument all the time:
- We don't want to be forced into playing maps we don't like: GO TO LOBBY OMG NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO PLAY RM. If lobby sucks, I guess that's the consequence of ONLY wanting to play one map (which some people including me may say, doesn't belong on the "ladder" or "ranked system", but this is always debatable as I said multiple times). Also, it's not THAT hard to get a balanced lobby game on a map you like. Your goal as "one mapper" should be making the lobby system better. Have a ranked system where multiple maps has to be played has it's pros and YES I GET YOU DON'T WANT TO PLAY MAPS OTHER THAN ARENA.That's fine, but there is a CLEAR ALTERNATIVE.
- I don't have much time to play hence when I play, I will play the one map I want to play on: Yes of course, but other people's time is also valuable. Who are you to think that other's have more time than you? and even if they do, how's their time less valuable than yours?
Remember, some people think the system is fine and some don't. I personally think people should get "more" bans, not unlimited bans, as I believe ranked game and ELO should reflect variety of skills. I have more ideas on civ picking as well, but this is all my opinion. You thinking people should get unlimited bans is fair, though I disagree. Some people maybe think the system right now is fine, etc etc. But as of now (well, before when alt+f4 was possible), that is the system. You alt+f4ing means you are cheating the system and wasting the time of people who are at least "okay" with the system.
I'll give you an example to compare. Where I am living right now, it's compulsory to wear face coverings on public transports. Some agree with it, some disagree (freedom, basic human rights etc etc). I personally believe it's a really good decision from our govt to make this compulsory, and if you disagree with it, fine. But by cheating the system (maybe wearing a mask when coming on and taking off, or just not wearing it in general), you are putting others at risk, and potentially delay the public transport to depart. There is a clear alternative - get your own vehicle. Maybe this will be a little inconvenient, but is definitely possible. But cheating the system you have to admit is a selfish thing to do.
It's fine that you think that there's something wrong with the system, but by cheating it you are wasting other people's time. Those of you who are saying "it's just a video game, of course people will be selfish", God I hope no one around me thinks like you. You can put that logic ANYWHERE. "It's just a bus ride, of course people will be selfish". "It's just a visit to the convenience store, of course people will be selfish", "It's just pushing into a queue of a meaningless Mary Goes Around, of course people will be selfish". You can put that argument anywhere.
I did say I will stop posting here but I just couldn't help as stupidity, selfishness, self-righteousness, and arrogance of some people really is annoying to look at. Go to lobby and try it out instead of crying about not being able to alt+f4. If you REALLY can't even do that, I guess you don't have any other option to play. Just stubborn people here ignoring a clear alternative option without even trying it.
