I’m sorry but there’s no good reason I should be forced to be stuck waiting for 20-30 mins clicking around aimlessly on my way to lose MMR because I have a griefer on my team feeding. The fact that this game builds into it a function that objectively ruins the experience for gamers is nuts.

I can’t just sit in fountain and wait or abandon or anything. The game forces me to go clicking around in circles in the woods for 20 minutes. That is something valve is consciously requiring me to do or force penalizing. The stupidity is just amazing.

Adding vote to kick and forfeit would not cause any issue that outweighs the pain of being stuck in a ruined match.

It’s just unacceptable and stupid of Valve to have a system like this which penalizes good players so often.

But maybe Valve wants this garbage going on to keep everyone from increasing their MMR too fast.

    I can see that youre upset, but trust me, take a break for a day or so and come back to the game with a different mindset.

    Ive had these same thoughts but having a give up button is not a good idea, firstly because it promotes giving up fast and going next, instead of playing and probably losing and learning something and maybe even WINNING, and secondly because your games are going to get griefed even harder when you get a 4 stack that wants to give up and go next because -insert totaly dumb reason here- or -insert even dumber reason here-.

    Some of my last games have been these ultra lategame slogs that can seriously go either way with just a single mistake and let me tell you, winning these games IS DotA, when the teams are evenly matched and you outplay your opponents with superior game knowledge/positioning/NOT GIVING UP/whatever reason really, that is why you play this game, and getting a give up button is stripping everybody of that high.

    I know how you feel, but trust me, you dont actually feel this way, youre just emotional because some animal ruinned your game and thats absolutely fine.
