I am writing this because some of my friends are having problems, namely F1Re, though I am sure other streamers have had at least some of these problems, I am sure they are more common the better the streamer is.
What problems am I referring to? As stated in the title, racism and people dodging queue because they don't want to play vs better players. One person has been racist on at least occasion, his (I assume) dame is DracKeN.
About two months ago, when walls and gates had many bugs and sometimes units could pass through them, one of F1Re's light cav walked through a house while it was building. After the game, he accused F1Re of cheating, stating that he lost due to the one light cav which glitched through the house foundation. They had a brief discussion/argument about it, and F1Re left the game room. Then DracKeN came to F1Re's twitch channel and accused him of cheating, and asked him if he wanted a banana. Then I banned him from F1Re's chat as I ban all racists. Evidence #1 After this DracKeN continued to dodge games/game queues with F1Re and insult him in a similar manner without provocation. Evidence #2
To be specific about what I mean by dodging, quitting the game as soon as it starts to prevent ELO loss if you know the player is better than you (me vs F1Re for example), or exiting queue if you realize that AoE2DE queued you with a higher rated player and you don't want to play vs them. This would not be as irritating if finding a game did not take 5-7 minutes per game.
Is there anything we can do about this? Does reporting people like DracKeN in DE do anything? Does it help at all? Has something like this happened to anyone else? I hope we can find a solution to this problem.
